DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] The overall process involves using the following: [0030] Round tube core mold; [0031] Copper plating; [0032] Polishing; [0033] Rolling point; [0034] Polishing; [0035] Chromium Plating; [0036] Embedded insulator; [0037] Heating; [0038] Hardening; [0039] Polishing; [0040] Cleaning; [0041] Demolding; and [0042] Nickel mesh forming.

[0043] Copper plating can make the core mold meet the requirements of the circumference of the circular mesh, and because the copper metal is soft and easy to roll. The rolling point is to roll out the round mesh specification on the copper-plated core die. Chromium plating is easy to demold after the nickel mesh is formed due to the poor bonding force between chromium and nickel.

[0044] The embedded insulator is an insulator embedded in the mesh part, so that no current is passed during electroplating: the non-embedded part is plated with nickel metal, and a nickel mesh with holes can be formed. Generally, the epoxy resin 604 and the epoxy resin catalyst 650 are mixed in equal amounts. After coating, the insulator was cured by baking at 175 C. for 7 minutes.

[0045] Nickel plating is carried out in nickel sulfate and nickel oxide plating solutions. The thickness of nickel mesh is generally 0.10-0.12 mm. After the requirements are met, the nickel mesh is de-molded by mechanical extrusion.

[0046] The rotary screen-printing machine is usually composed of four parts: feeding device, printing head, drying device and cloth dropping device. At present, there are eight color, twelve color, sixteen color and twenty-four color circular screen printing machines. There are mainly two types of printing machine: 640 mm and 904 mm.

[0047] The rotary screen-printing machine with 640 mm flower back is in the majority. The circular screen-printing machine has the advantages of simple operation, low labor intensity and high output. It is suitable for printing of various fabrics, and it is also suitable for printing of multi varieties and small batches of fabrics.

[0048] It is important to understand the concept of circular screen printing. Circular screen printing is a printing method that uses a scraper or a magnetic rod to print the color paste in the circular screen onto the fabric under the pressure. Circular screen printing differs from other screen-printing methods in several important aspects. Circular screen printing, like roller printing, is a continuous process. The printed fabric is conveyed to the bottom of the circular screen flowerpot through a wide rubber belt. In screen printing, the production speed of circular screen printing is the fastest available with production reaching more than 3500 yards per hour. It uses seamless perforated metal mesh or plastic mesh. The maximum circle is greater than 40 inches, so the maximum return size is also greater than 40 inches. More than 20 sets of circular screen-printing machines have also been produced, and this printing method is gradually replacing roller printing. That is to say, the main advantage of circular screen printing is fast speed, but the disadvantage is that the return can only be within the circumference of the screen.

[0049] There are three types of flat screen printing: manual plate type, semi-automatic flat plate and full-automatic flat plate. Although the output of flat screen printing is low, it is convenient to make plates, has a large length of flower back, and has many colors. It can print fine patterns without color transmission, has a large amount of printing pulp, and has a three-dimensional feeling. It is suitable for printing of silk, cotton, chemical fiber and other woven fabrics and knitted fabrics, and is more suitable for printing of high-end fabrics in small batches and varieties. That is to say, the flower back size of flat screen printing can be determined according to the actual size. Theoretically, the current printing size (reasonable) can be realized on the flat screen, such as photo printing and process printing in ways that is not possible with the round screen printing. The fineness and flower back size with circular printing cannot be improved whereas flat screen excels in this regard.

[0050] The improved process has allowed for the widening of glow lines with regard to glow-in-the-dark blankets and has allowed for the use of stronger glow material. This glow material is now 30% stronger than what has been previously used. Flat printing also allows for a more detailed design and image which improves the quality of the image over circular printing.

[0051] The Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM represents a pioneering advancement in the field of glow-in-the-dark textiles. This section provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the various aspects and features of the invention.

[0052] At the heart of this invention is the utilization of a premium GSM rating of 360. This elevated GSM rating signifies a substantial departure from the lower GSM typically associated with traditional glow-in-the-dark blankets. The significant enhancement in GSM plays a pivotal role in establishing the durability and longevity of the Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM.

[0053] The premium GSM ensures that the blanket maintains its thickness, quality, and structural integrity even after undergoing multiple washing cycles. Unlike conventional glow-in-the-dark blankets that tend to thin out and lose effectiveness over time, the Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM exhibits remarkable resilience, making it a reliable and enduring addition to any bedding collection.

[0054] One of the standout features of this invention is its ability to offer captivating, colorful, and highly detailed glow-in-the-dark images. Traditional glow blankets often feature rudimentary patterns, simple cut-out shapes, or monochromatic glow designs. In stark contrast, the Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM embraces a revolutionary approach to visual aesthetics.

[0055] Each design featured on this blanket boasts an extensive palette of more than ten vibrant colors. This rich and diverse color scheme results in intricately detailed images that come to life when exposed to darkness. Users can experience an unparalleled visual spectacle as the blanket's colorful and radiant images illuminate their surroundings, transforming any space into a captivating and enchanting environment.

[0056] Safety is a paramount concern when introducing textiles into homes and around children. The Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM ensures peace of mind by incorporating flame retardant properties into its design. This critical safety feature significantly reduces the risk associated with the use of the blanket, making it a safe and responsible choice for consumers.

[0057] The effectiveness of the Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM is attributed to the utilization of the strongest available glow-in-the-dark material in each design. This photoluminescent material possesses exceptional light-absorbing and energy-storing properties, resulting in a radiant and long-lasting glow in darkened environments. The glow-in-the-dark material is strategically integrated into the blanket's designs to ensure optimal luminance and visual impact.

[0058] The Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM places user comfort and satisfaction at its forefront. The combination of a premium GSM and soft, high-quality materials ensures that the blanket is not only durable but also luxuriously soft to the touch. Users can enjoy the comforting warmth and plushness of the blanket while experiencing the magic of its captivating glow-in-the-dark images.

[0059] The Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM is versatile and adaptable, finding applications in various settings. It serves as an attractive addition to bedrooms, children's nurseries, and themed dcor for parties and events. Its visually appealing glow-in-the-dark images make it a favored choice among individuals of all ages.

[0060] The Glow in the Dark Blanket on Premium GSM represents a groundbreaking advancement in the field of glow-in-the-dark textiles. Its premium GSM, captivating glow-in-the-dark images, flame retardant properties, and user-centric design converge to create a product that stands out in terms of quality, durability, and visual appeal. This invention redefines the concept of glow-in-the-dark blankets, offering consumers an elevated and enchanting bedding experience.

[0061] While several illustrative embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, numerous variations and alternative embodiments will occur to those skilled in the art. Such variations and alternative embodiments are contemplated and can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
