Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a photo-sensitive laminate film for use in making an image mask for etching an image on a substrate. In a first preferred embodiment, the photo-sensitive laminate film comprises a support sheet having a first surface and a second surface, a layer of polymer resin composition having photocrosslinkability, the layer of polymer resin composition having a first surface and a second surface, and a fractionally-releasable bonding layer located between the first surface of the support sheet and the second surface of the layer of polymer resin composition. Upon the creation of an image mask from the layer of polymer resin composition, the image mask is capable of being separated from the first surface of the support sheet such that at least a portion of the bonding layer located between the image mask and the first surface of the support sheet is released from the support sheet with the image mask, and the remaining portion of the bonding layer remains with the support sheet. In use, the image mask, defined by a predetermined pattern, can be operatively attached to a substrate, the support sheet can be removed, and the substrate can be etched (e.g., either by sandblasting or by the application of a chemical etching solution) with an image corresponding inversely to the predetermined pattern of the image mask.

Abstract:

A kit for facilitating the reproduction of a selected array of alphanumeric characters on a variety of receiving surfaces. The kit contains a set of stencils, with a first stencil having a plurality of cutouts in a desired array and with registration marks at opposite edge portions about the cutouts. A plurality of second stencils, are provided, each of which has a cutout defining an alphanumeric character intermediate the edges of the second stencil, generally corresponding to the size of the cutouts in the first stencil. The cutouts in the second stencils have registration marks about the edge portions thereof. The edge portions of said second stencils can be made to coincide with the edge portions of the cutouts in the first stencil, the registration marks associated with the coinciding edge portions of the first and second stencils serving as indicia to indicate the orientation of the alphanumeric character second stencils to be interconnected with the array of cutouts in the first stencil. Locating a first stencil at a desired location on a receiving surface provides a guide for locating a plurality of selected alphanumeric character stencils on the receiving surface, and then for reproducing the selected array of alphanumeric characters on the receiving surface. Where the receiving surface is the glass window of an automobile, the characters are preferably etched onto the window by means of a glass-etching composition.
