VERFAHREN ZUR AUSSTATTUNG EINES GERÄTES MIT EINEM DEKORATIVEN INTERFERENZGITTER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for providing a utensil with a decoration by means of an optical interference grating. The utensil is provided with a sol-gel precursor which is embossed with a flexible stamp to create an optical interference grating. The interference grating can be provided with a second precursor of a material with an index of refraction higher than that of the sol-gel layer, and provided with a transparent, non-scattering topcoat. The invention further relates to an appliance, e.g. an iron or a shaver, coated with an organosilane layer provided with an optical interference grating.
