MASXING MEMBER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a masking member which protects a part of an article from a surface treatment such as coatin~, plating, vacuum evaporation, phosphatizing, and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to a masking member consisting of a pair of divided cylindrical parts, wherein said masking member surrounds a circumference of a pillar part of an article by combining said pair of divided cylindrical parts. When a surface treatment is effected on the surface of an article, and if said surface of said article has a part(s) on which said surface treatment should not be effected for the reason that another surface treatment is effected on said part(s) after said surface treatment or said surface treatment spoils the appearance of said article and so on, said part(s) of said surface of said article may be covered and protected with said masking member.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Hikherto, adhesive tape has been used as a masking member to protect a pillar, frame, al1d the like. Namely, the adhesive tape is wound round said pillar, frame, and the like to protect them from said surface treatment and after said surface treatment, said adhesive tape i9 removed from said pillar, frame, and the like. Said pillar, frame, and the like may be not effected by said surface treatment since said pillar, frame, and the like was covered with said adhesive tape during said surface treatment.
Nevertheless, adhesive tape as a masking member has faults in that attaching and removing of the adhesive tape to/from a pillar, framè, and the like take time and have a high labor cost, and further, the adhesive tape wound round a ' -::

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 relate to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring now to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, a masking member (112) consists of a pair of divided cylindrical parts (112A) and ( 11 2B) and adhesive layers ( 115 ) are respectively formed on the inside of said pair of divided cylindrical parts (112A) and (1l2B). The inside of said masking member (l12) is made of a polyst~rene foam sheet (113) and the outside o~ said masking member (112) is made of a non-foamed polystyrene film ~114) which is laminated on said polystyrene foam sheet (113).
Said pair of divided cylindrical parts (112A) and (112B) are respectively attached on the circumference of a part (111A) of a pillar (111) of the door of an automobile by said adhesive layers ( 115 ) to set up said masking member (112) as shown in Fig. 2. After said part (111A) of said pillar (111) is covered with said masking member (112) consisting of said pair of divided cylindrical parts (112A) and (112B), said pillar (111 ) is coated by spraying a paint (116) as shown in Fig, 3, and said part (111A) of said pillar (111 ) which is covered with said masking member (112) is not coated with said paint (116). After coating, said pair of divided cylindrical parts (112A) and (112B) of said masking member (112) are respectively removed from said part (111A) of said pillar (111) and said pillar (111) has said part (111A) which is not coated with said paint as shown in Fig. 4. In this embodiment, said polystyrene foam sheet (113) having a low solvent resistance and a low heat resistance is protected by said non-foamed polystyrene film (114) which covers the outside of said polystyrene foam sheet (113) so that said masking member (112) has an improved solvent resistance and an improved heat resistance and said masking member (112) may not deform when said masking member (112) is heated around 150C during a drying process so as to be able to reuse said masking member (112).
FigO 5 and Fig. 6 relate to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring now to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, a masking member (122) consists of a pair of divided cylindrical parts (122A) and (122B) and two indented parts (123) are respectively formed in both edges of said one divided cylindrical part (122A) and two insert parts (124) are respectively formed in both edges of said other divided cylindrical part (122B). Said masking member (122) is made of a polypropylene in which 30~ by weight of calcium carbonate is mixed. Said pair of divided cylindrical parts (122A) and (122B) are respectively attached on the circumference of a part (121A) of a pillar (121) and said insert parts (124) of said divided cylindrical part (122B) are respectively inserted into said indented parts (123) of said divided cylindrical part (122A) to secure said divided cylindrical part (122B) respectively, and said masking member (122) is assem~led from said pair of divided cylindrical parts (122A) and 1122B) as shown in Fig. 6. After a surface treatment, said divided cylindrical parts (122A) and ~122s) are respectively removed from said part (121A) of said pillar (121) by hand, hook, and the like.
Fig. 7 relates to a third embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to Fig. 7, a masking member (132) consists of a pair of divided cylindrical parts 1132A) and (132B) made of an elastic material, and cllp parts 1133) are :, . : , , :
, respectively formed at both edges of said divided cylindrical parts (132A) and (132B). Said pair of divided cylindrical parts (132A) and (132B) are respectively attached on the circumference of a part (131A) of a pillar (131 ) and fixed by pinching respectively said part (131A) of said pillar (131 ) between said clip parts (133) of said divided cylindrical parts (132A) and (132B) and said masking member (132) is assembled from said divided cylindrical parts (132A) and (1 32B) .
The masking member of the present invention is made of an elastic sheet such as ~rom plastics such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyYinylchloride, polyurethane, melamine resin, urea resin and the like; plastic ~oams of said plastics; laminated sheet of said plastic foams and said plastics; fiber sheet such as fabric, knitting, non-woven fabric, paper, corrugated card board and the like;
thermoplastic resin - impregnat:ed fiber sheet; thermo-setting resin - impregnated fiber sheet; wooden sheet such as wood board, hardboard, plywood and the like; metal sheet and the like.
In cases where said masking member is made of plastics, it is desirable to mix inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate, talc, bentonite, stone powder, blast furnace slag, flyash, and the like into said plastics since heat resistance, mechanical properties and the like o~ said masking member are improved by said inorganic filler and further, when used mas~ing member is burnt in a combustion furnace, a smaller combustion energy is produced so that said combustion furnace will stand long use. Usualy, 10 to 500 weight parts, desirably 20 to 400 weight part of said inorganic filler are mixed into said plastics.
Polyolefin such as polyethylene, polypropylene and the like is desirable plastics for the material of the masking member of the present invention since said polyolefin has high solvent resistance and is inexpensive, and of course, poly-olefin in which said inor~anic filler is mixed is a desirable .
