Abstract
Abstract A process for obtaining a shiny metallized surface on a plated or laminated material by either coating the surface with a varnish, and then applying a plastic film which has been covered with a metallizing agent until the varnish absorbs the agent and sets; or applying a plastic film which has been precovered with metallizing agent and precoated with a varnish to a surface until the varnish sets. The film acts as both a carrier and a glossing element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A process for obtaining a shiny metallized surface consisting essentially of: coating a surface with a fine coat of varnish, covering one side of a plastic film with a metallizing agent of metallic powder in a layer of less than 1 micron in thickness; laminating said surface and said one side of a plastic film before said varnish is set so that said metallizing agent is absorbed into said varnish; leaving said film in contact with said surface until said varnish is set, whereupon said film acts as a glossing element; and removing said film from said surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A process for obtaining a shiny metallized surface consisting essentially of: coating a surface with a fine coat of varnish, covering one side of a plastic film with a metallizing agent of metallic powder in a layer of less than 1 micron in thickness; laminating said surface and said one side of a plastic film before said varnish is set so that said metallizing agent is absorbed into said varnish; leaving said film in contact with said surface until said varnish is set, whereupon said film acts as a glossing element; and removing said film from said surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
A process for obtaining a shiny metallized surface comprising covering one side of a plastic film with a metallizing agent of a metal powder in a layer of less than 1 micron in thickness; coating said side with a fine coat of varnish; laminating said side of said film and a surface before said varnish has set whereupon said varnish and said metallizing agent are transferred to said surface; leaving said film in contact with said surface until said varnish sets, whereupon said film acts as a glossing element; and removing said film from said surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
96 words
A process for obtaining a shiny metallized surface comprising covering one side of a plastic film with a metallizing agent of a metal powder in a layer of less than 1 micron in thickness; coating said side with a fine coat of varnish; laminating said side of said film and a surface before said varnish has set whereupon said varnish and said metallizing agent are transferred to said surface; leaving said film in contact with said surface until said varnish sets, whereupon said film acts as a glossing element; and removing said film from said surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein said varnish is coated in a particular design not covering the entire surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 2, wherein said varnish is coated in a particular design not covering the entire surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said plastic film is made from a material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, cellulose acetate, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidenechloride, and regenerated cellulose.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process according to claim 2 wherein said plastic film is made from a material selected from the group consisting of polyproplylene, polyethylene, polyester, cellulose acetate, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidenechloride, and regenerated cellulose.
