Patent number: 5368672Abstract: This invention provides processes for making three-dimensional signage. In one embodiment, a process is provided for making raised graphic signage. In this embodiment, a profile material is adhered to a substrate materials with an adhesive which: (a) bonds firmly enough to hold the profile and substrate materials together during the process, (b) permits the profile and substrate material to be separated after the process is completed, and (c) cures to form a more permanent bond after the profile and substrate materials have been separated. Then, an outline of a desired graphic is cut completely through the profile material. That portion of the profile material which does not constitute the outlined graphic is then separated form the substrate material, before the adhesive forms a permanent bond. In another embodiment, a process is provided for making recessed graphic signage.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1993Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignee: New Hermes IncorporatedInventors: Deborah M.
