Abstract
The invention provides a method by means of which it becomes possible to produce emblems or wordmarks having three-dimensional symbols, both the front face and the raised side faces of which are metallized, while the substrate is not metallized. For that purpose, the symbols are injection molded with a carrier and they are not secured to a separately manufactured substrate until after the metallizing operation.
Claims5
A method of providing a substrate with a plurality of separate synthetic resin display elements attached thereto in a desired arrangement, each of said display elements being provided with a plane surface suitable for attaching said display element to said substrate and at least one conspicuous surface situated away from said plane surface, said method comprising forming, by molding, a unitary body consisting essentially of said plurality of synthetic resin display elements in said desired arrangement, a synthetic resin carrier and synthetic resin connecting members, each of said connecting members being detachably joined to said synthetic resin display elements and each of said connecting elements being joined to said carrier, fully metallizing the conspicuous surfaces of said display elements, positioning said body on said substrate so that only said plane surfaces are in contact with said substrate, attaching said thus positioned body to said substrate only at said plane surfaces and detaching said connecting members and the carrier connected thereto from said synthetic resin display elements.
