A transfer film, a method for producing a film-coated article and a film-coated article.

A method of producing a molded part comprising a decorative coating with a molded part front side designed as visible side and a rear side opposing the front side and a substrate arranged on the rear side of the decorative coating, wherein the decorative coating comprises (or is formed from) a decorative layer, wherein the method comprises: providing the decorative layer or decorative coating, attaching the substrate to the rear side of the decorative layer or coating, applying a resist lacquer to the front side of the decorative layer by means of a digital printing machine, the resist lacquer being applied in sections to the front side of the decorative layer to form a pattern or symbol or a negative of a pattern or symbol such that lacquer-free surface areas and surface areas covered with resist lacquer are created on the front side of the decorative layer.

A method of producing a glueless dustless composite flooring material system providing PVC-based flooring having waterproof layers providing different qualities of hardness, wear-resistance, sound deadening, and decorative patterns, avoiding the use of moisture-susceptible compressed cellulose-based filler, with layers fused together, avoiding the manufacturing complexity and delamination risks of using glue or adhesive, with a quickly-cured, UV-cured top coating providing long-lasting high performance and shortening and simplifying the manufacturing, which can be done in a sheet-form, essentially continuous-run manner, with an ability to quickly and simply change the optional design printing and texturing produced, and having an optional underlayment layer.

A decorative emblem comprises a plurality of unit emblem bodies; a plurality of fastening legs connected correspondingly to the plurality of unit emblem bodies and having a reduced diameter portion formed on the center thereof in such a manner as to be easily bent and broken; and leg fixing bars adapted to fix the ends of the fastening legs thereto.

A method may be provided for manufacturing coated panels of the type including at least a substrate and a top layer with a motif. The top layer may be provided on the substrate. The method may involve providing a synthetic material layer on the substrate. A relief may be provided on the surface of the synthetic material layer provided on the substrate. The relief may include a pattern of recesses and/or projections. The relief may be obtained by providing a mask on or in the synthetic material layer. The mask may enable a selective treatment of the synthetic material layer. A material-removing treatment or a material-depositing treatment may be performed on the synthetic material layer, such that the mask at least partially determines the pattern.

A method may be provided for manufacturing coated panels of the type including at least a substrate and a top layer with a motif. The top layer may be provided on the substrate. The method may involve providing a synthetic material layer on the substrate. A relief may be provided on the surface of said synthetic material layer provided on the substrate. The relief may include a pattern of recesses. The pattern may be at least partially determined by at least one print that is applied by inkjet printing. The relief may be obtained by printing a mask directly on the synthetic material layer. After providing the mask, the synthetic material layer may be cured. The mask may provide for selective curing of the synthetic material layer, such that the synthetic material layer is not solidified or solidified at a lesser extent in correspondence of the mask. The not solidified or less solidified portions of the synthetic material layer may be removed by performing a material-removing treatment on the synthetic material layer thereby obtaining the relief. The material-removing treatment may involve removing the mask.

A decoration article having a clear layer includes a rod-shaped core material, a cylindrical decorative cover having a shape retaining property, configured to cover the core material over an entire circumference in a sectional circumferential direction of the core material, including a plurality of split members split along the sectional circumferential direction of the core material and having a base part and a decoration layer provided on a surface of the base part, and a transparent clear layer formed by a mold forming so as to cover an outer surface of the decoration layer over an entire circumference in a sectional circumferential direction of the decoration cover covering the core material.

A selectively-metalized plastic part that includes a plastic substrate substantially conforming to the shape of the plastic part, a plastic film using an electroplating-resistant material that is applied to the plastic substrate, and an electroplating portion, wherein after exposing the plastic part to an electroplating process the electroplating portion receives metal plating whereas the plastic film does not.

A resin molding is provided. The resin molding includes an optically transparent plate-shaped portion, which has a first surface having a smooth surface portion, and a second surface having plural sections, wherein each of the plural sections has a width and includes one or more convex portions which have one or more ridge lines extending in a ridge line direction. The ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of at least one of the plural sections is different from the ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of one or more of others of the plural sections. When the first surface of the resin molding is observed from outside, the resin molding has metallic appearance.

A door skin featuring a facing having an exterior surface and an interior surface can be provided. A wood grain pattern portion can be formed in the exterior surface of the facing. The wood grain pattern portion can feature a plurality of grooves formed in the exterior surface of the facing, the grooves are recessed from a first plane of the exterior surface, and tonal portions formed in the exterior surface of the facing. The tonal portions can include at least a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a third protrusion. Spacing between the first protrusion and the second protrusion can be different from spacing between the second protrusion and the third protrusion.
