Method for gluing decorative stones
Method for gluing decorative stones ( 1 ) with a tapered off backside, in particular of faceted glass, onto leather ( 2 ), wherein in the fastening region of each stone ( 1 ) a recess ( 5 ) is punched out of the leather ( 2 ), which recess is smaller than the greatest diameter of the stone ( 1 ). The end of the recess ( 5 ) facing the stone ( 1 ) is expanded by stamping corresponding to the contour of the stone ( 1 ). The stone ( 1 ) is subsequently glued in the expansion ( 6 ) to the base layer ( 4 ) of the leather ( 2 ).
1. A method for gluing a decorative stone having a tapered-off backside onto leather having a base layer and a finishing, the method comprising:
punching a recess of constant diameter in the leather, a width of the recess being less than a largest diameter of the stone;
expanding a portion of the recess by stamping such that the expanded portion is formed so as to correspond to a backside contour of the stone, and such that the base layer of the leather is exposed in the expanded portion; and
gluing the stone directly to the base layer in the expanded portion of the recess with an adhesive.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said expanding of the portion of the recess by stamping comprises pressing the stone in the recess.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said punching of the recess in the leather comprises punching a hole in the leather, and wherein said gluing of the stone to the base layer comprises setting the stone into the expanded portion and thereafter filling the hole with adhesive from a backside of the leather.
4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive, and wherein the method further comprises:
coating a piece of cloth with the adhesive; and
ironing the piece of cloth onto a backside of the leather.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said punching of the recess in the leather comprises punching a hole in the leather, and wherein said gluing of the stone to the base layer comprises setting the stone into the expanded portion and thereafter filling the hole with the adhesive from a backside of the leather.
6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising:
applying a piece of cloth onto the backside of the leather such that the adhesive in the hole bonds with the piece of cloth.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive, and wherein said applying of the piece of cloth onto the backside of the leather comprises coating the piece of cloth with adhesive and ironing the piece of cloth onto the backside of the leather.
8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive, and wherein the method further comprises:
coating a piece of cloth with the adhesive; and
ironing the piece of cloth onto the backside of the leather.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is a hot-melt adhesive, and wherein the method further comprises:
coating a piece of cloth with the adhesive; and
ironing the piece of cloth onto a backside of the leather.
