Abstract:
A method for disposing a letter or graphical element sequence onto a curved outer surface of a microphone wind shield body made from foamed material, the method comprising the steps of:a) disposing heat activating adhesive onto a flocked, flat, and flexible carrier in a configuration corresponding to at least two letter or graphical sequence elements, said letter or graphical sequence elements having a mutual separation differing from a targeted mutual separation between said elements on the wind shield body; b) fixing said carrier, in a removable manner, onto the curved outer surface of the wind shield body such that said adhesive presses against and distorts adjacent portions of said curved outer surface; c) applying thermal energy using radiation for activating said adhesive; and d) removing said carrier after cooling and solidification of said adhesive, wherein said letter or graphical sequence elements remain on the outer surface of the wind shield body with said targeted mutual separation.
