METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OF DECORATIVE MIRRORS AND ITEMS FROM OPTICALLY TRANSPARENT MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B44F1/00 C03B33/00 

FIELD: polygraphic industry, decorative art.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to light industry and method for manufacturing of decorative mirrors and items made of optically transparent materials. Method includes finishing treatment of item surface, formation of ornament with the help of laser beam on back surface of item and further cleaning of surface from chips and dust. Prior to formation of ornament, a layer of non-transparent water-based emulsion is applied onto back surface of item and dried. Ornament is formed at the temperature of light spot in point of laser beam focusing brought to the value of glass melt and/or microexplosion effect on treated surface. Simultaneously jet of compressed cleaned air at the pressure of not more than 1.5 atm is sent to point of laser beam focusing onto treated surface. Afterwards surface is cleaned from chips and dust, and mirror coating is applied.

EFFECT: invention provides for improved decorative expressiveness of manufactured decorative mirrors and items from optically transparent materials by provision of image halftones peculiar features reproduction by light effects on faces of microchips, ie formation of mirror-spark image.
