Definitions

• the present invention relates to a body ornament intended to be glued to the skin, a fabric or any other suitable support.
• a three-dimensional decorative jewel sculpted in detail which comprises a predetermined three-dimensional ornamental motif carved on its front face and a rear flat surface to which an adhesive is applied, said adhesive being protected by a peelable layer.
• This piece of jewelry has peaks and valleys with varying elevations from the back of the piece of jewelry.
• this piece of jewelry does not have sufficient hold when worn on a deformable surface, such as the skin or clothing, since the piece of jewelry does not have sufficient flexibility at the periphery, which leads to detachment.
• the thickness of the jewel at the periphery is such that a shock at the periphery of the jewel can lead to detachment.
• the object of the invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a body ornament intended to be glued to the skin, a fabric or any support, which makes it possible to avoid or limit detachment at the periphery of said ornament, whatever the conditions of use, for example, when the user wearing the ornament on the skin gets dressed, sweats, bathes or rubs.
• the subject of the invention is a body ornament intended to be glued to the skin, a fabric or any support, comprising a piece of flexible plastic material the underside of which is substantially flat and capable of receiving a hypoallergenic adhesive, and the upper face of which comprises relief patterns, characterized in that said part comprises, over its entire periphery, a marginal zone extending between the outer peripheral edge of the part and the aforementioned relief patterns, said marginal zone having a low thickness compared to that of said relief patterns.
• said marginal zone is extended towards the inside of said part by intermediate zones of small thickness separating the raised patterns from each other and extending from one edge to the other of the part.
• the marginal zone has a substantially constant thickness, for example of the order of 0.2 mm, between the external peripheral edge of the part and the base of the patterns in relief.
• the marginal zone has a slightly sloping upper face inclined towards the lower surface of the part, towards its outer periphery.
• the marginal zone has on its upper face, a first peripheral portion in a gentle slope inclined towards the lower surface of the part, in the direction of its external periphery, and a second peripheral portion of substantially constant thickness, between the top of said first portion and the base of the relief patterns.
• the aforementioned gentle slope forms, between the upper and lower faces of the marginal zone, an angle between
• the marginal zone has an upper face whose slope gradually increases between the outer peripheral edge of the part and the top of the relief patterns.
• the marginal zone comprises on its upper face an annular groove surrounding the base of the relief patterns. This makes it possible to further increase the flexibility between the peripheral peripheral zone of the part and the relief patterns, to avoid detachment.
• the part comprises, on its underside, a layer of hypoallergenic adhesive material.
• this layer of adhesive material is covered with a peelable protective sheet.
• the layer of adhesive material consists of a double-sided adhesive tape whose profile corresponds to that of the underside of the part.
• the relief patterns comprise on their upper face a decoration, for example a decoration in gold or in silver hot stamped, or else a decoration in color, for example in four colors, is printed by screen printing on the underside of the room.
• the part can be transparent or opaque. It can also be scented.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of a body ornament according to the invention.
• FIG. 2 is a sectional view, on the line II-II in FIG. 1, after partial detachment of the peelable protective sheet, and
• FIGS. 3 A to 3D are partial and enlarged views of a detail circled in Figure 2 and indicated by arrow III, according to various embodiments of the invention.
• the plastic part 1 has, on its upper face, a plurality of raised patterns, namely two substantially cylindrical bosses 2, 3, of different diameters, and a boss 4 substantially in the shape of a rounded V .
• the boss 4 comprises at the base of the V a cylindrical hollow 5. All of the relief patterns 2 to 4 are peripherally surrounded by a marginal zone 6 of small thickness compared to that of the relief patterns.
• the bottom of the hollow 5 as well as the intermediate zones 7 between the various relief patterns also have a small thickness.
• the intermediate zones 7 thus ensure the connection between the marginal zones 6 on two opposite edges of the part 1, as visible in FIG. 1.
• the part 1 has a substantially flat lower face there on which is applied a layer of adhesive material 8.
• This layer of adhesive material 8 can consist of a layer of glue which can be added at will by the user, from a bottle filled with liquid refill glue.
• this layer of adhesive material 8 may consist of a double-sided adhesive tape cut according to the same profile as the underside 1a of the piece 1. Such a double-sided tape is sold by the company 3M SANTÉ, under the reference 1522
• the layer of adhesive material 8 is, in turn, covered with a peelable protective sheet 9, as visible in FIG. 2. This sheet 9 has a surface greater than that of the lower face 1a of the part 1, of in order to facilitate its detachment.
• the upper surface of the relief patterns may include a layer of decorative material 10, for example a hot-stamped gilding, or a deposit of metal by galvanization, to give the body ornament a precious, even jewel, appearance.
• a layer of decorative material 10 for example a hot-stamped gilding, or a deposit of metal by galvanization, to give the body ornament a precious, even jewel, appearance.
• the marginal zone 6 has a flat upper face 6a and a substantially constant thickness between the outer peripheral edge of the part and the base of the patterns in relief.
• the marginal zone 6 has a first peripheral portion 6b extending from the outer peripheral edge of the part, with a gentle slope relative to the lower face 1a of the part, up to a second peripheral portion plane 6a.
• the second planar peripheral portion 6a has a substantially constant thickness and extends between the top of the first portion 6b and the base of the relief patterns.
• Figure 3C differs from Figure 3B, only in that the second portion 6a has an annular groove 6c surrounding the base of the raised patterns, with a substantially open V section upwards, to further increase the flexibility between the marginal zone of the piece and the relief patterns in the center.
• the marginal zone 6d extends substantially between the lower face there of the part 1, at its outer peripheral edge, and the top of the relief patterns, with an angle which gradually increases between 0 ° and 90 °.
• the bottom of the hollow 5 is open, and in this case, one could provide an internal peripheral flange of small thickness on the bottom of the hollow 5, to avoid detachment of the part 1, in its center.
• the adhesive which is applied to the underside of the part 1 is waterproof and hypoallergenic.
• the shape, the profile and the dimensions of the self-adhesive jewel, according to the invention can be any.
• the relief patterns can have a thickness of between 1 and 1.2 mm.
• the surface of the part 1 can be between 1 or a few cm 2 and several hundred cm 2 .
• the plastic part 1 can also be perfumed in its mass.
• plastic material in the form of granules, then we pass it to study at 80 ° C, then it is injected in a press at 35T maximum, in a mold with several cavities, the any number of fingerprints, for example between one and ten fingerprints.
• the part is removed from the mold, it is ejected from the mold, then an operator cuts the core with the part. pliers.
• the decorations are applied on the part, after its molding.
• the layer of adhesive material can be applied to the underside of the part, by the user, or by the manufacturer, either in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape or of a liquid glue. Of course, it is possible to apply a new layer of adhesive material or to replace it, when its adhesive power becomes insufficient, during use.
