Abstract

A method is disclosed for marking a tool. The method includes the steps of providing a tool, cleaning the tool, providing a printed layer on the tool, and providing at least one electroplated layer on the tool. The step of cleaning the tool includes the step of providing an air blast over the tool. The step of providing the air blast includes the step of providing an air compressor for producing the air blast. The step of providing the air compressor includes the step of providing an electrostatic dust gun that produces ions in addition to the air blast so that the ions neutralizes static charges on the tool as the air blast sweeps the tool.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for marking a tool including the steps of providing a tool, cleaning the tool, providing a colored layer on the tool, and providing at least one electroplated layer on the tool. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of cleaning the tool includes the step of providing an air blast over the tool. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the step of providing the air blast includes the step of providing an air compressor for producing the air blast. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the step of providing the air compressor includes the step of providing an electrostatic dust gun that produces ions in addition to the air blast so that the ions neutralizes static charges on the tool as the air blast sweeps the tool. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the colored layer includes the step of defining a reverse-type mark amid the colored layer, which is used as a background. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the colored layer includes colorant of a color. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the colored layer includes colorant of colors based on chromatography. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing the at least one electroplated layer includes the step of providing several electroplated layers. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the electroplated layer is larger than that of the colored layer. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the electroplated layer is identical to that of the colored layer.
