<p>Medallion-like articles for jewelry, decorative ornamentation and product identification, instrument panel lights, lenses and methods and apparatus for manufacturing same are disclosed. A medallion-like article formed by applying an uncured radiation curable polymer to a flexible indicia-bearing surface substrate in a quantity sufficient to form a convex upper surface by means of its surface tension and then irradiating the polymer to effect its cure provides a flexible medallion having a lens cap with a convex frontal surface and a rear surface formed with less curvature than the frontal surface. The flexible medallion may be adhesively bonded to a contoured, non-planar surface. A flexible, transparent lamp lens having a convex frontal surface is also formed by the ultraviolet cured photopolymer which is adhesively bonded adjacent to the lamp to form its lens.</p> |
