System and process for manufacturing animated papers using digital printing
View Patent ↗Innovative animated paper ( 100 ) that includes fold lines ( 300 ) each of which consists of two or more parallel fold grooves ( 301 ). The bottom ( 302 ) each fold groove ( 301 ) is narrow compared with its upper part ( 303 ). In addition, a system and process for the manufacture of animated papers products using digital printing, which includes the following components and stages: software that offers a selection of three-dimensional paper product models. The software enables the user to choose a specific model from the selection of models, to design graphics for the selected model, and to send the graphic design to the printing house as a ready-for-print file. The printing house maintains a stock of pre-prepared paper for these models, which has already undergone processes of cutting. The printing house then receives the ready-for-print file from the software and prints the graphics on the relevant pre-prepared paper for the selected model.
1. A method for displaying graphics ( 600 ), comprises:
providing a permanent base ( 610 ), a first inner sliding member ( 620 ), and a second inner sliding member ( 630 );
wherein said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) is designed as a rectangular panel with a plurality of vertical cuts ( 622 ) in its center; wherein said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) includes an upper flange ( 621 ) with a horizontal cut ( 6210 ); wherein said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) includes graphics;
wherein said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) is designed as a rectangular panel with an upper side protrusion ( 631 ); wherein said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) includes graphics;
wherein said permanent base ( 610 ) includes a plurality of vertical flanges ( 611 ), back side ( 612 ) and a front window frame ( 613 ); wherein the number of said vertical flanges ( 611 ) corresponds with the number of said vertical cutes ( 622 ); wherein said vertical flanges ( 611 ) include graphics;
the method for displaying graphics comprising assembling said permanent base ( 610 ), said first inner sliding member ( 620 ), and said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) together according to the following steps:
(a) folding said upper flange ( 621 ) along a folding line ( 623 ) of said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) and inserting into said horizontal cut ( 6210 ) said upper side protrusion ( 631 ) of said second inner sliding member ( 630 );
whereby said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) is attached and parallel to said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) and can move relatively to it;
(b) whereby when said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) is in a closed position said upper side protrusion ( 631 ) is stopped at a left edge of said horizontal cut ( 6210 ) and when said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) is in an opened position said upper side protrusion ( 631 ) is stopped at the right edge of said horizontal cut ( 6210 );
(c) folding said vertical flanges ( 611 ) along a folding line ( 614 ) of said permanent base ( 610 );
(d) combining said first inner sliding members ( 620 ) and said second sliding member ( 630 ) in said permanent base ( 610 ) by positioning said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) between said vertical flanges ( 611 ) and between said back side ( 612 ), and positioning said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) on said vertical flanges ( 611 ); wherein inserting said vertical flanges ( 611 ) in order inside said vertical cutes ( 622 );
(e) folding said front window frame ( 613 ) along a folding line 615 ( 615 ) in a way that it is attached and parallel to said vertical flanges ( 611 ) and to said first inner sliding member ( 620 ) and covers them; whereby said graphics on said first inner sliding member ( 620 ), on said second inner sliding member ( 630 ) and on said vertical flanges ( 611 ) can be are visible through a window ( 6131 ) on said front window frame ( 613 ) ( 6513 );
(f) folding a closing flange ( 617 ) along a folding line ( 616 ) in a way that it is attached onto the rear side of said back side ( 612 ).
