An expandable package filler or ornament includes a stack of sheets, such as tissue paper, foil, etc. The stack is bound together, such as by a fastener. A generally spiral cut extends from a peripheral edge of the stack toward the center of the each sheet. The cut forms each sheet into a generally spiral strip ending in a peninsula portion. Grasping the peninsula portion, lifting and shaking the stack causes the strips to fall and entangle with each other. The resulting structure is decorative and may be used to stuff a gift box, bag or basket.

A method for coating a surface of a supporting element with a layer of ligneous material in order to form a motor vehicle trim element. The method includes the following consecutive steps: precutting the coating layer so as to form at least one precut area in the layer of ligneous material; positioning the layer of ligneous material relative to the supporting element by means of the precut area; and attaching the layer of ligneous material to the surface of the supporting element.

A method for producing a decorative surface having different gloss levels preferably comprising the following steps: (C) feeding of a workpiece (1.0), which is coated with at least a first lacquer layer (1.4) to a digital printing station; (D) provision of digital control data for the digital printing station; (E) digital spraying of droplets on partial areas of the first lacquer layer (1.4) on the workpiece (1.0) with an at least partially transparent lacquer in order to apply a second lacquer layer (1.5) on the first lacquer layer (1.4), wherein after curing the second lacquer layer (1.5) has a different gloss level than the first lacquer layer (1.4).

Further disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out this method.

An apparatus decorates manufactured articles via thermosetting powder paint. The apparatus contains a decoration station with a plane, a decoration unit having a rotating cylinder supported by a carriage movable along the longitudinal extension of the manufactured articles, and a system for applying the paint to the cylinder and transferring the paint onto the manufactured articles. The outer surface of the cylinder has engraved cavities, which represent the pattern to be reproduced on the manufactured articles and are designed to contain the paint. The system has a reservoir to contain the paint, which contacts the outer surface of the cylinder and is introduced into the cavities. The reservoir has a bottom with a free end placed close to the outer engraved surface of the cylinder to identify a point for the fall of the paint from the cavities to the manufactured articles during the rotation of the cylinder.

The disclosure discloses a canvas flocking diamond picture, and relates to the technical field of canvas flocking diamond picture devices and making methods, solving the problem that the gray cloth of diamond canvas is shrunk after encountering water so that the diamond picture becomes uneven. The picture frame is internally provided with a protective film and a canvas, and the protective film is located at one side of the canvas; the upper end surface of the canvas is provided with a flash layer; an ink-receiving layer is arranged under the flash layer; an upper back cover layer is arranged under the ink-receiving layer; a cingico layer is arranged under the upper back cover layer; a lower back cover layer is arranged under the cingico layer; a flocking layer is arranged under the lower back cover layer, and the flocking layer is located on the lower end surface of the canvas; an adhesive layer is arranged between the lower back cover layer and the flocking layer.

Provided is a decorative sheet which can impart, to molded resin articles, excellent design attractiveness and an excellent touch both due to a rugged shape. The decorative sheet comprises, superposed in the following order, a base layer, a surface layer which is constituted of a cured object obtained from a curable resin composition and has the rugged shape, and a removable thermoplastic resin film.

A system and method of creating a decorative component having multiple surface finishes includes providing a substrate with a metal surface layer and treating the metal surface layer to remove oxidation, and applying a coating or paint layer over at least a portion of the treated metal surface layer. The paint layer is removed via laser ablation to define a metal-paint interface. The metal-paint interface created by laser ablation applied to paint over treated metal is free from adhesion failure. The workpiece created includes multiple surfaces having complex shapes and features, and may be applied to a variety of surfaces. Multiple surface finishes are therefore created on a single part without the need for assembly of separate parts, with a robust interface between contrasting surface appearances.
