  • Patent number: 7744799
    Abstract: The method according to the invention is a moulding method wherein a first layer (21), having a first colour, is produced against a first portion of a mould surface (10) and wherein, in a next step, a second layer (22), having a second colour, is produced against a second portion of the mould surface (10) and at least partially against the back of the first layer (21). The method is intended to obtain a qualitative transition between the colours of the two layers (21, 22) without having to hide the actual colour transition in a groove from view. This object is achieved by applying the material forming the first layer (21) in such a manner on the mould surface (10) that the edge (20) of the first layer (21), which will be situated on the mould surface underneath the second layer (22), is visually sharp and is produced without a mask.

  • Patent number: 5071683
    Abstract: Method and device for forming a gellified polyrethane layer on a surface, notably of a mould, by spraying a liquid reaction mixture comprising polyol and isocyanates and which has a viscosity between 20 and 2000 centipoises. The mixture is sprayed in the form of a film of liquid and/or raindrops of which the main part has a mean diameter (Medium Volume Diameter; "M.V.D.") which, according to the standards ASTM E 779-81, is larger than 100 microns and preferably larger than 500 microns.
