  • Patent number: 10926571
    Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer body, as well as a multilayer body produced thereby. A single- or multi-layered first decorative ply is applied to a carrier ply with a first and a second side. A metal layer is applied to the side of the first decorative ply facing away from the carrier ply and structured such that the metal layer is provided with a first layer thickness in one or more first zones and is provided with a second layer thickness different from the first layer thickness in one or more second zones, wherein in particular the second layer thickness is equal to zero. A single- or multi-layered second decorative ply is applied to the side of the metal layer facing away from the first decorative ply and structured using the metal layer as mask such that the first or second decorative ply is at least partially removed in the first or second zones.

  • Patent number: 10029505
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multilayer body (100, 200, 300, 400), as well as a multilayer body (100, 200, 300, 400) produced thereby. A single- or multi-layered first decorative ply (3) is applied to a carrier ply with a first (11) and a second (12) side. A metal layer (5) is applied to the side of the first decorative ply (3) facing away from the carrier ply and structured such that the metal layer (5) is provided with a first layer thickness in one or more first zones (8) and is provided with a second layer thickness different from the first layer thickness in one or more second zones (9), wherein in particular the second layer thickness is equal to zero. A single- or multi-layered second decorative ply (7) is applied to the side of the metal layer (5) facing away from the first decorative ply (3) and structured using the metal layer (5) as mask such that the first (3) or second (7) decorative ply is at least partially removed in the first (8) or second (9) zones.
