Abstract
The present invention concerns a stencil for the depositing and gauging of more or less thick, point-base coats of a viscous product. To remedy the problems found with a serigraphic screen made of polyester or metal cloth and a metal stencil, the present invention proposes use of a solid sheet of uniform composition made of synthetic material and, preferably, polyester without the inclusion of wires. This polyester solid sheet is bored mechanically or thermally at the places desired. Since the polyester cloth is solid, it admits of tension forces greater than those of wire mesh cloths or at least equal to those of metal stencils.

A stencil for the deposit and apportioning of more or less thick layers, based on points or in the form of points, of a viscous product on a substrate by passing a scraper over the stencil to bring the stencil into close contact with the substrate in the place where the scraper exerts a linear pressure, the stencil constructed of a solid and uniformly thick sheet of a synthetic material with holes bored therethrough, wherein:
- the sheet thickness is determined according to the greatest height of deposit to be made on the substrate;
- and
- the sheet has different boring diameters sized according to the height of the different deposits of the viscous product to be made and the thickness of the sheet, whereby the viscous product proportions deposited and the deposit heights obtained by a passage of the scraper are different.
A process for the deposit and apportioning of a viscous product in more or less thick layers based on points or in the form of points on a substrate, the process comprising
- placing a flat stencil above, and spaced apart from, the substrate, wherein the stencil has borings of at least two different diameters and which correspond to a pattern of the deposit to be made on the substrate and
- applying a viscous product onto the substrate through the borings in the stencil by passing a scraper over the stencil, the scraper exerting a linear pressure on the flat stencil perpendicularly to said stencil and to the substrate in a direction opposite said substrate, the linear pressure being sufficient to deform the stencil and to put it in contact with the substrate at the point of the linear pressure,
- the stencil constructed of a solid and uniformly thick sheet of an elastic synthetic material with transfer borings therethrough which are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the stencil, the tension on the stencil being sufficient to create an off-contact between the stencil and the substrate on the side opposite the scraper, the stencil being further characterized in that the viscous product quantity deposited at each point, and the height of the deposited point, are determined according to the thickness of the stencil sheet and the diameter of the corresponding transfer boring, so that each of the deposits that come from borings which have the same diameter and the same surface roughness will have the same height.
A process for the manufacture of a serigraphy stencil from a solid and uniform sheet made of a synthetic material equipped with holes made by bores, the process comprising:
- selecting the sheet thickness according to the greatest height of deposit to be made on the substrate, and
- making bores in the sheet with different diameters according to the height of the different deposits to be made and the thickness of the sheet selected.
A stencil for the deposit and apportioning of more or less thick layers, based on or in the form of deposited points, of a viscous product for mounting electronic components on a substrate by passing a scraper over the stencil to bring the stencil into contact with the substrate where the scraper exerts a linear pressure, wherein the stencil is constructed of a solid sheet of a synthetic material having a substantially uniform thickness with holes bored therethrough, and wherein:
- the sheet thickness is determined according to the greatest height of the viscous product to be deposited on the substrate;
- and
- whereby the amount of viscous product deposited from the bores of different diameters is different and the height of such viscous product deposits is different.
A process for the deposit and apportioning of a viscous product in more or less thick layers, based on or in the form of deposited points, for mounting of electronic components on a substrate, the process comprising the steps of
- placing a stencil above, and spaced apart from, the substrate wherein, the stencil has borings of at least two different diameters and which borings correspond to a pattern of the viscous product to be deposited on the substrate and
- applying the viscous product onto the substrate through the borings in the stencil by passing a scraper over the stencil, the scraper exerting a linear pressure on the stencil perpendicularly to the stencil and to the substrate in a direction opposite the substrate, the linear pressure being sufficient to deform the stencil and to put it in contact with the substrate at the point of the linear pressure,
- wherein the stencil is constructed of a solid sheet of synthetic material having a substantially uniform thickness whose borings are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the stencil, the pressure exerted on the stencil being sufficient to create an off-contact between the stencil and the substrate on the side of the stencil opposite to the one on which the scraper is passed wherein the amount of viscous product deposited from each boring and the height of the deposited viscous product, are determined according to the thickness of the stencil and the diameter of the corresponding boring, so that each of the deposits that come from borings of substantially the same diameter have substantially the same height.
A process for the manufacture of a serigraphy stencil from a solid sheet of a synthetic material having a substantially uniform thickness with bores therethrough for the depositing and apportionment of a viscous product to be used to mount electronic components, the process comprising the steps of:
- selecting the sheet thickness according to the greatest height of the deposit of viscous product to be made on the substrate, and
- making bores in the sheet with different diameters according to the height of the different deposits of the viscous product to be made and the thickness of the sheet selected.
