Manufacturing process of christmas tree decorations and racks for their fixing during this process

Abstract

A manufacturing process of Christmas tree decorations where glass half-products are first blown to required dimensions and shapes, including the process stem. This glass half-product is fixed into the rack and placed into the metal-coating device where, under vacuum conditions, a thin (1 to 7 microns) layer of metals and/or their alloys is coated on its surface by vacuum plating or vacuum powder coating processes. The metal-coated surfaces created this way may be finished in various colors using clear and color varnishes either gloss or matt. The glass half-products for Christmas tree decorations may be provided with masking in the place of intended decor before the half-product is put into the vacuum metal-coating device. After the masking elements are removed, clear non-coated spots are created on the decoration surfaces. The rack accommodating the glass half-products of decorations is for their placement into the metal-coating device when above methods are performed.
