,`'` ' DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The masking member of the present invention is made of a sheet such as from plastics or rubber such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polymethacrylate, styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, polybutadine polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polychloroprene, isoprene-isobutylene copolymer, natural rubber, polyurethane, melamine resin, urea resin, phenolresin, epoxyresin and the like; foams of said plastics; or said rubber; fiber sheet such as fabricrubber, knitting,non-woven fabric, paper, corrugated cardboard and the like; thermoplastic resin - impregnated fiber sheet; thermosetting resin -impregnated fiber sheet; wooden sheet such as wood board, hardboard, plywood and the like; metal sheet and the like;
laminated sheet consisting of a plural number of sheets selected ~rom the group oE said sheets. In cases where said masking member is made of a sheet from plastics or rubber, it is desirable to mix inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate, silica, talc, clayr bentonite, stone powder, blast furnace slag, flyash, and the like into said plastics or rubber since heat resistance, mechanical properties and the like of said masking member are improved ~, . .. :

: . , . ~ - :
3 ~:

by said inorganic filler and further, when a used masking member is burnt in a combustion furnace, a smaller combustion energy is produced so that said combustion furnace will stand long use. Usually, 10 to 500 weight parts, desirably 20 to 400 weight parts of said inorganic filler are mixed into said plastics. Further organic filler such as wood powder, organic, fiber powder, walnut powder, coconut powder, flour, chaff powder and the like may be mixed into said plastics or rubber. Still further, dyestuff, pigment, antioxidant~ ultra~iolet absorber plasticizer and the like may be mixed into said plastics or rubber. Polyolefin such as polyethylene, polypropylene and the like are desirable plastics for the material of the sheet of the masking member of the present invention since said polyolefin has high solvent resistance and is inexpensive, and of course, polyolefin in which said inorganic filler is mixed is a desirable material for said masking member. Polystyrene foam is also a desirable mater:Lal for said masking member since said polystyrene foam is light and inex~ensive, nevertheless, since said polystyrene foam has a low solvent resistance and a low heat resi3tance, it is desirable to laminate a suitable plastic or rubber onto said polystyrene foam.
,~ ' ~- Vacuum forming, press molding, casting, extrusion, injection, molding, paper making and the like may be used to produce the masking member of the present invention.
'.
~he masking member of the present invention is easily attached to a part of a surface of an article to be protected by inserting (a~ pro;ection(s) of said part into (an~ indention(s) of the masking member and said masking member is easily removed from said part by extracting said projectionts) of said part from said indention(s) of said masking member. Accordingly, said masking member of the 2Q~3~

present invention can be correctly, easily, and securely attached to a part of a surface by the guide of said projection(s) of said part and said indention(s) of said masking memher.
