A display pattern was printed on the surface of the layer, and a half mirror film was stuck on the back surface of the sheet (for example, see Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、上述した特許文献1においては、平面状の表示面に施すものであって、表示パターンを凸にし、裏面に鏡面を施すことで奥行き感を出す工夫がされているが、表示パターンを二次加工(印刷)することでコスト高になってしまったり、また、曲面状の表示面に対しては平面状の表示面の場合と同じような奥行き感を出すことができないという問題点があった。   However, in Patent Document 1 described above, the display pattern is applied to a flat display surface, and the display pattern is convex, and a mirror surface is applied to the back surface to give a sense of depth. There is a problem that the next processing (printing) increases the cost, and the curved display surface cannot give the same depth feeling as the flat display surface. It was.

Alternatively, like the air conditioner “a” shown in FIG. 5, the front panel itself may be configured as the design panel according to the present invention by displaying designs on the front panel.

前記意匠パネル1は、図1(A)に示す正面図のように、前記透明部材2の表面に設けられたハッチングで示す光拡散処理のためのシボ加工による光拡散処理部3と、白抜きの英文字AIRで示す光を透過する表示パターン部4とを備え、また、図1(B)に示す底面図および図1(C)に示す側面図のように、正面が曲面状に形成され、且つ正面と四側面との各コーナー部が曲面状に形成されるとともに、裏面には、裏面全体にホットスタンプもしくはミラー印刷などによる鏡面処理を施した反射部5を備えた構成になっている。   As shown in the front view of FIG. 1 (A), the design panel 1 includes a light diffusion processing unit 3 that has been subjected to graining processing for light diffusion processing indicated by hatching provided on the surface of the transparent member 2, and is outlined And a display pattern portion 4 that transmits light indicated by the English letter AIR, and the front surface is formed in a curved surface shape as shown in the bottom view shown in FIG. 1B and the side view shown in FIG. In addition, each corner portion of the front surface and the four side surfaces is formed in a curved shape, and on the back surface, the entire back surface is provided with a reflecting portion 5 that has been subjected to mirror surface processing such as hot stamping or mirror printing. .

前記光拡散処理部3および前記表示パターン部4は、射出成形用の金型へのマスキングシボ加工を部分的に行うことによってこれらの両方が施されるようになっており、前記光拡散処理部3を形成するための特別な二次加工を行う必要がなく、また、前記意匠パネル1の表面が曲面状であったとしても、抜き勾配を抑えることで成形処理が可能になっているため、コスト的に有利であって製作しやすい構成になっている。   The light diffusion processing unit 3 and the display pattern unit 4 are both subjected to masking embossing on a mold for injection molding, and the light diffusion processing unit No special secondary processing for forming 3 is required, and even if the surface of the design panel 1 has a curved surface, the molding process can be performed by suppressing the draft angle. The structure is advantageous in terms of cost and easy to manufacture.

上記構成でなる意匠パネル1に、室内照明の光が照射されることで、図2に示すように、室内光の一部が前記表示パターン部4が前記反射部5に光L1として映し出され、同時に、前記光拡散処理部3aおよび3bの影も前記反射部5に影S1およびS2として映し出されることになる。   By irradiating the design panel 1 having the above structure with light of room illumination, as shown in FIG. 2, a part of the room light is projected as light L1 from the display pattern part 4 to the reflection part 5, At the same time, the shadows of the light diffusion processing units 3a and 3b are also projected on the reflection unit 5 as shadows S1 and S2.

ユーザがこの状態を図2に示す視点Eから見ることで、図3に示す前記表示パターン部4のように、前記光拡散処理部3aからは拡散された拡散処理部の影P1、前記表示パターン部4からは透過した状態である拡散処理部の影P2と鏡面部P3、前記光拡散処理部3bからは拡散された光P4と拡散された拡散処理部の影P1とが見れることで奥行き感を感じる見え方になる。   When the user views this state from the viewpoint E shown in FIG. 2, the shadow P1 of the diffusion processing unit diffused from the light diffusion processing unit 3a, the display pattern, like the display pattern unit 4 shown in FIG. Depth feeling by seeing the shadow P2 and the specular part P3 of the diffusion processing unit that is transmitted from the unit 4, and the diffused light P4 and the diffused shadow P1 of the diffusion processing unit 3b from the light diffusion processing unit 3b It will be visible.

前記空気調和機aは、図4に示すように、吸込口bと吹出口cとを結ぶ空気通路に図示しない熱交換器と送風ファンとを設け、前記吸込口bから吸い込まれた空気を前記熱交換器で熱交換したのち、前記送風ファンによって前記吹出口cから被空調室に吹き出して空気調和を行うようになっており、本体の正面には、前記空気調和機aのネーミングを表示する前記意匠パネル1が設けられることによって、安価な構成で商品としての意匠性を高めて高級感を印象づけることができるようになる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the air conditioner a is provided with a heat exchanger (not shown) and a blower fan in an air passage connecting the suction port b and the outlet c, and the air sucked from the suction port b After exchanging heat with a heat exchanger, the blower fan blows air from the outlet c into the air-conditioned room for air conditioning, and the front of the main body displays the naming of the air conditioner a. By providing the design panel 1, it is possible to enhance the design as a product and impress a high-class feeling with an inexpensive configuration.

また、前記空気調和機aは、図5に示すように、上述した構成と同様に、吸込口bと吹出口cとを結ぶ空気通路に図示しない熱交換器と送風ファンとを設け、前記吸込口bから吸い込まれた空気を前記熱交換器で熱交換したのち、前記送風ファンによって前記吹出口cから被空調室に吹き出して空気調和を行うようになっており、とくに、本体正面の前面パネルにデザイン類の表示をすることで、前面パネル自体を本発明による意匠パネルとした構成にすることによって、別部材からなる表示板を用いることなく、より安価な構成で商品としての意匠性を高めて高級感を印象づけることができるようになる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the air conditioner a is provided with a heat exchanger and a blower fan (not shown) in an air passage connecting the suction port b and the blower port c, as in the configuration described above. After the air sucked from the mouth b is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger, the blower fan blows air from the outlet c to the air-conditioned room to perform air conditioning. By displaying the design on the front panel itself, the design of the front panel itself is made as a design panel according to the present invention, thereby improving the design as a product with a cheaper configuration without using a separate display panel. You will be able to impress with luxury.

前記意匠パネル1に設けられた光拡散処理部3は、図1(A)乃至図1(C)および図3に示すように、前記表示パターン部4以外の広い領域面に施すようになっていることから、見る角度による前記反射部5の大きな色の変化を抑えることができるようになっており、また、グラデーションをつけることで斬新な見え方ができるようになっている。   The light diffusion processing section 3 provided on the design panel 1 is applied to a wide area surface other than the display pattern section 4 as shown in FIGS. 1 (A) to 1 (C) and FIG. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a large color change of the reflecting portion 5 depending on the viewing angle, and it is possible to make a novel appearance by adding gradation.

前記表示パターン部4は透明であることから、裏面全体に二次加工として鏡面となるホットスタンプもしくはミラー印刷を施すことで前記反射部5を構成して、正面から見て表示パターンのみが前記反射部5に見えるようになるため、上述した二次加工のコストを抑えることができるようになっている。   Since the display pattern portion 4 is transparent, the reflective portion 5 is formed by applying hot stamping or mirror printing that becomes a mirror surface as a secondary process on the entire back surface, and only the display pattern is reflected from the front when viewed from the front. Since it becomes visible to the part 5, the cost of the secondary processing mentioned above can be held down.

また、前記意匠パネル1は小型形状であって複数取りの金型を想定できることから、予め前記光拡散処理部3のバリエーションを複数の金型に施しておくことにより、裏面全体に前記反射部5を構成するだけで、複数のバリエーションでなる意匠パネルを用いた前記空気調和機aとしての商品群をラインアップできるようになる。   Further, since the design panel 1 has a small shape and can assume a plurality of molds, a variation of the light diffusion processing unit 3 is applied to a plurality of molds in advance, whereby the reflection unit 5 is formed on the entire back surface. The product group as the air conditioner a using the design panel having a plurality of variations can be lined up simply by configuring the above.

なお、前記反射部5の色を変えることで商品群のカラーバリエーションに対応できるようになり、また、前記意匠パネル1の素材(前記透明部材2)に着色することでも商品群のカラーバリエーションに対応できるようになる。   In addition, it becomes possible to respond to the color variations of the product group by changing the color of the reflective portion 5, and it is also possible to correspond to the color variations of the product group by coloring the material of the design panel 1 (the transparent member 2). become able to.
