Claims16
Laminated pane, which comprises:
- at least one visible motif, said pane comprising at least one rigid sheet of one of a glass material and a plastics material and of at least one sheet of flexible plastics material, wherein the motif is at least partly formed of at least one coating of organic ink epoxy layer, said layer lying exclusively on a substantially planar exterior surface portion of at least one of the sheets of flexible plastics material of the laminated pane, said coating comprising a nonpenetrating coating dried at an ambient temperature so as to prevent deterioration of said motif.
Method of producing a laminated pane having a visible motif, which comprises:
- depositing at least one organic ink epoxy layer on a substantially planar exterior surface portion of at least one sheet of flexible plastics material so as to form a nonpenetrating coating on said face portion and form at least part of said motif such that said coating lies exclusively on said exterior surface portion,
- drying said layer at ambient temperature so as to prevent deterioration of the motif, and
- assembling said sheet under conjugate action of pressure and heat with at least one additional sheet constituting the laminated pane.
