METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MOSAIC IMAGES (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B44C1/28 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method of making mosaic images from natural or artificial stone of light colour, in which the preparation of natural/artificial stone with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm, are firmly connected to the substrate, then grooves are cut through the preform of the mosaic pattern through the preforms from the stone to the substrate, the geometry and the width of the slits being set, taking into account the distance between the mosaic elements, the surface of the workpiece is painted from the front side in accordance with the given pattern so that the stone is dyed to an adjustable depth, in particular to the entire depth of the slot. When painting, positioning of the applied colour image is relative to the contour-groove to ensure that the desired colour fragment matches its contour, drying the resulting mosaic, grind and polish the face. Method of making a mosaic from natural or artificial stone-coloured, in which harvesting of natural/artificial stone in the thickness not less than 0.5 mm to a specified boundary drawing cut grooves on depth not less than half the thickness of the workpiece. The geometry and width slots ask, given the distance between the mosaic elements, paint the surface of the workpiece with an obverse sides according to a specified pattern so that the stone is coloured to the adjustable depth, in particular the entire depth of the slit. When painting, positioning of the applied colour image is relative to the contour-groove to ensure that the desired colour fragment matches its contour, drying the resulting mosaic, grind and polish the face.

EFFECT: reducing the labour intensity of manufacturing mosaic patterns, simplifying the process of manufacturing mosaics, increasing the product tensile strength when bending due to the tight fit of the joints and their length.
