  The present invention relates to a resin molded product in which a pattern formed on the surface appears to float and a surface treatment method for a resin molded product to form a three-dimensional pattern on the resin surface.

  In cosmetic containers and the like, in order to decorate the appearance, metallic decoration or the like in which metallic decoration is three-dimensionally applied using a hot stamp method has been performed.

  In some cases, characters and designs were raised on the surface by printing, and the container was finished with a high-class appearance.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-286397

  However, when irregularities are formed on the surface of the container, there is a problem that costs are required, for example, the mold needs to be processed. Also, it took time and effort to hot stamp.

  On the other hand, a container with a three-dimensional effect formed by printing or the like can be manufactured at a low cost because the surface does not have unevenness, but it tends to be a flat plate and has a sufficient three-dimensional effect by printing or the like without providing unevenness on the surface. It was very difficult to form and bring a luxurious appearance to the resin container.

  The present invention provides a three-dimensional pattern formed on the surface by a simple method such as painting or vapor deposition, and has a high-quality resin molded product, and a surface treatment method for forming a high-class three-dimensional pattern on the resin surface. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has constituted a resin molded product and a surface treatment method thereof as follows.

  In other words, the resin molded product is placed on the base material made of transparent resin, on the back surface of the base material, on the opaque coating film provided at a location other than the location that becomes the design portion, and on the location that becomes the design portion on the back surface of the base material. It comprised from the provided transparent resin material and the reflective opaque film laminated | stacked on the surface of the transparent resin material.

  The base material is a transparent resin molded product constituting a resin product such as a container body or a container lid. The substrate only needs to transmit light to the front and back, and may be colored. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited. In addition, the thickness may be different from the uniform thickness. Furthermore, the base material is not limited to a flat plate shape, and may be formed into a desired shape such as a curved shape.

  The opaque coating is formed by applying a colored paint to the back surface of the substrate. The color of the paint is not limited, but is preferably a dark paint such as black. The pattern portion is formed by not providing a coating film on the substrate. For example, after the coating material is applied to the entire back surface of the substrate, a laser beam for removing the coating film is irradiated in accordance with the pattern portion, and the irradiated portion of the coating film is removed and formed. In addition, the paint may be applied to a portion other than the portion that becomes the symbol portion by printing, and the symbol portion may be formed at a portion that is not applied. When the pattern portion is formed by printing, it is performed by silk printing or the like. In the formed pattern portion, the transparency of the base material is left as it is. In addition, the substrate of the design portion has a smooth surface.

  In addition, you may form a pattern part by affixing the thin film member which has a cutout part in the shape of a pattern part on the back surface of a base material.

  The transparent resin material is made of transparent ink or transparent resin, and is provided so as to fill a portion where a coating film is not provided, that is, a design portion. The surface of the transparent resin material, that is, the back surface side of the substrate is formed to the same thickness as the coating film, and the surface of the transparent resin material is formed flat. In addition, you may apply | coat so that the thickness of a transparent resin material may be made thinner than the thickness of a coating film, or a transparent resin material may be thickened and a coating-film part may be buried. Furthermore, the transparent resin material may be continuously provided on the respective surfaces of the coating film and the base material with a substantially uniform thickness in a wide range including the pattern portion by silk printing or the like.

  If the transparent resin material is transparent, it may be colored similarly to the base material. Moreover, you may mix an additive in the inside of a transparent resin material. The additive is a lame material having a high light reflectivity or a particulate member of a predetermined color. The particulate member is not limited to a spherical powder, but may be formed in a predetermined shape such as a needle shape, a flake shape, or a star shape. Further, the additive may be mixed uniformly in the transparent resin material, or the specific gravity may be changed to concentrate upward or to precipitate downward. Moreover, there is no light reflectivity and it may be given to a predetermined color or consist of a plurality of colors.

  The material of the transparent resin material is preferably a material having a refractive index different from that of the base material. That is, by changing the material, a part of the light is reflected at the boundary surface between the transparent resin material and the substrate, and the incident light (including the reflected light) is refracted at the boundary surface.

  The reflective opaque film is preferably a reflective surface or a mirror surface, but may be formed of a bright color film having a high reflectance. The reflection surface and the mirror surface are formed by, for example, metal vapor deposition. The reflective opaque film may be formed on at least the design portion on the back surface of the base material, and may be directly formed on the back surface of the base material without the transparent resin material in the design portion.

  The reflective opaque film may be formed by painting, or may be formed by attaching an opaque film material having a sheet-like thin film with the surface formed on a reflective surface. As a method for attaching the thin film, for example, there is a hot stamp. By a hot stamp method, a reflective opaque film is pasted on a base material in a wide range including the pattern portion from the transfer foil.

  Further, a reflective opaque film may be formed on the back surface of the base material by attaching or combining a resin member having a reflective surface or the like on the front surface to the back surface of the base material. In either case, the reflective opaque film may be colored on the surface.

  The resin product according to the present invention is not limited to a container or the like, and can be applied to other resin products such as figurines, or parts such as dials, switches, and knobs.

  Furthermore, the resin molded product formed by the above method may be used by being stuck on or embedded in the surface of the product. Moreover, you may mix the additive which has light reflectivity etc. in a base material and a coating film similarly to a transparent resin material.

  In the resin molded product of the present invention, the design portion, that is, the portion of the transparent resin material, appears to emerge from the back surface of the substrate. In other words, the pattern part is reflected in the coating film, making it noticeable, and causing the optical illusion due to the difference in refractive index between the base material and the transparent resin material, and the reflectivity of the surface of the transparent resin material provided on the back surface of the base material It appears that the opaque film is above the back side of the substrate, not below the substrate.

  Also, when a reflective opaque film is formed on a mirror finish, etc., the pattern portion is glossy, especially when the coating film is formed in black or dark colors, it appears to float on the coating film, and the transparent resin material is In some cases, the reflective opaque film may appear colored, and the container can have a high-class feeling.

  The resin molded product can be manufactured at a low cost because it simply forms a base material with a transparent resin and performs a surface treatment on the back surface thereof. A desired appearance can be arbitrarily formed by appropriately selecting the color of the resin, coating film, transparent resin material, reflective film material, etc. of the base material.

  FIG. 12 shows a cosmetic container 2 subjected to the surface treatment of the present invention. The cosmetic container 2 is a resin molded product, and is composed of an upper lid 4 and a main body 6 in which the upper lid 4 is assembled to be freely opened and closed. A symbol A is formed on the upper lid 4 by surface treatment.

  FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the upper lid 4. The upper lid 4 includes a base material 8 that forms the basic shape of the upper lid 4, a coating film 10 applied to the back surface of the base material 8, a transparent resin material 12 filled between the coating films 10, and a reflective film 14.

  The base material 8 is molded from a transparent synthetic resin material using, for example, injection molding. The coating film 10 is opaque black, is provided in places other than the design part 3, and the design part 3 is formed by not providing the coating film 10.

  The transparent resin material 12 is provided in the pattern portion 3 of the coating film 10, that is, in a place where the coating film 10 is not provided. The reflective film 14 is uniformly formed on the surfaces of the coating film 10 and the transparent resin material 12 with at least the front side of the upper lid 4 as a reflective surface.

  Next, the surface treatment method of the upper lid 4 will be described.

  First, a coating material is applied to the entire back surface of the substrate 8 shown in FIG. 2A, and a coating film 10 is provided on the entire back surface of the substrate 8 as shown in FIG. Then, the laser beam is irradiated to the pattern portion 3, that is, the portion corresponding to the letter A shown in FIG. 12, and the coating film 10 at the portion is removed. Thereby, the coating film 10 is formed in places other than the pattern part 3 which does not irradiate a laser beam. (FIG. 2 (c) is shown.) The edge of the pattern portion 3 is formed to be smooth and perpendicular to the substrate 8 as shown in FIG. 2 (c).

  Next, the transparent resin material 12 is filled in the pattern portion 3 of the coating film 10. The transparent resin material 12 is filled in a liquid state, and after being filled, it is solidified inside the pattern portion 3 of the coating film 10. The surface of the transparent resin material 12 is formed flat at the same height as the coating film 10. (Shown in FIG. 2 (d))

  Then, the reflective film 14 is uniformly formed on the surfaces of the coating film 10 and the transparent resin material 12. (Refer to FIG. 2E.) The reflective film 14 is formed by metal vapor deposition so that the front side of the upper lid 4 is a reflective surface.

  Since the top cover 4 is surface-treated as described above, the reflective film 14 is formed in the shape of the pattern portion 3, and when the cosmetic container 2 is viewed from above, the glossy pattern A is the coating film 10. While being visible, the pattern A appears to float above the surface of the coating film 10.

  Actually, since the reflective film 14 is formed on the bottom surface of the transparent resin material 12, the reflective film 14 is positioned below the coating film 10. However, the reflective film 14 is conspicuous by reflecting light, and the inside of the base material 8 and the transparent resin material 12. An illusion is caused by the influence of refraction of light, and the pattern A appears to be located above the coating film 10.

  Accordingly, when the cosmetic container 2 is entirely visible, the design portion 3 is raised on the surface of the black upper lid 4 and the transparent resin material 12 appears to have the color of the coating film 10 due to the influence of reflection or transmission. There is a sense of luxury.

  In the above example, the pattern portion 3 is formed by removing the coating film 10 with a laser. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and printing is directly performed on the base material 8 in such a manner that a predetermined pattern is extracted by silk printing or the like. The pattern portion 3 may be formed.

  FIG. 3 shows another example of the upper lid 4.

  In this example, the transparent resin material 12 is formed with a substantially uniform thickness on the surfaces of the coating film 10 and the base material 8 at the stage of formation up to FIG. Thereafter, the reflective film 14 is formed on the entire surface of the transparent resin material 12 in the same manner as in the above embodiment. Also in this example, the pattern portion 3 floats on the upper lid 4 and looks beautiful as in the above embodiment.

  4 and 5 show another example of the surface treatment method applied to the upper lid 4.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, an opaque reflecting film is formed on the back surface of the substrate 8 using a sheet-like reflecting member 15. That is, the reflecting member 15 is provided on the surfaces of the coating film 10 and the transparent resin material 12 at the stage where the process up to FIG.

  The reflecting member 15 is, for example, a thin film-like member, and at least a side facing the base material 8 is formed on a reflecting surface. The reflection member 15 is attached to the surfaces of the coating film 10 and the transparent resin material 12 using an adhesive or the like.

  Even in this case, the upper lid 4 is formed with the opaque reflecting film on the pattern portion 3, and the same effect as the above example can be obtained.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the transparent resin material 12 is provided on the coating film 10 and the base material 8 with a substantially uniform thickness at the stage where the process up to FIG. A reflective member 15 is provided on the surface of the substrate. The reflective member 15 is, for example, a thin film-like member in which at least the side facing the substrate 8 is formed on the reflective surface or the like, as described in the above example, and is bonded using an adhesive or the like.

  Further, FIG. 6 shows an example in which a reflecting member 17 is provided on the surface of the transparent resin material 12 by using a hot stamp method. In this example, after the coating film 10 is provided on the base material 8 and the transparent resin material 12 is applied to almost the entire surface of the base material 8, as shown in FIG. Paste to. In the transfer foil 20, a thin film material 24 for transfer is laminated on a sheet-like base material 22, and when a heated pressing die (not shown) is pressed, the thin film material 24 peels from the base material 22 into a pressing die shape. And affixed to an object such as the substrate 8. As described above, the reflecting member 17 has a reflecting surface on the base material 8 side, and is attached to the back surface of the base material 8 in a wide range including the symbol portion 3 as shown in FIG.

  Also by these, the upper lid 4 is formed with an opaque reflecting film on the pattern portion 3, and the same effect as the above example can be obtained.

  The reflecting members 15, 17 may not be completely adhered along the surface of the transparent resin material 12, and may have gaps at corners or the like. Further, an air layer is formed between the transparent resin material 12 and the reflecting member 15. May be provided. The formation of the reflecting member 17 by hot stamping is not limited to the example described above, and may be used when the transparent resin material 12 is formed at the same height as the coating film 10 from an ink agent or the like.

  Furthermore, another example is shown in FIGS. In these examples, the reflective film 14 is formed on one surface of the resin member 16, and the resin member 16 is attached to the back surface of the substrate 8 to form an opaque reflective film. The resin member 16 is formed in advance so as to conform to the back surface shape of the base material 8 or is made of a flexible material that is appropriately deformed along the back surface shape of the base material 8.

  The structure of the coating film 10 and the transparent resin material 12 in the base material 8 is the same as that described in FIGS. The resin member 16 is attached to the base material 8 by adhesion or assembly, and the attachment method is not particularly limited.

  In this way, even if the resin member 16 having a reflection surface or the like is attached to the base member 8 and the opaque reflection film is formed on the pattern portion 3, the same effect as described above can be obtained. Furthermore, the resin member 16 may constitute the basic shape of the resin product according to the present invention, and the base member 8 may be attached to the resin member 16 to form a three-dimensional pattern.

  FIG. 11 shows another example. In this example, a small thin piece 18 having light reflectivity is mixed in the transparent resin material 12. The flakes 18 may be mixed in the transparent resin material 18 in advance, or may be mixed in the transparent resin material 12 after the transparent resin material 12 is applied to the substrate 8. Thereby, reflection of light is seen inside the transparent resin material 12 in the pattern portion 3, and a new atmosphere different from that described above can be expressed in the upper lid 4.

  Such mixing of the light-reflective thin piece 18 may be used for the upper lid 4 formed by any of the above methods. The thin piece 18 is not limited to a flat shape such as a thin piece, but may be a predetermined shape such as a particulate shape such as a pearl material, a needle shape, or a star shape. Furthermore, it is not light-reflective and may have a predetermined color or consist of a plurality of colors.

  Furthermore, a light-reflective member may be mixed in the base material 8 and the coating film 10 similarly to the transparent resin material 12.

  In the case of FIG. 10, it is preferable that the reflective film 14 is closely attached to the surface of the transparent resin material 12, but the reflective film 14 is not necessarily closely attached to the surface of the transparent resin material 12. A slight gap, an air layer or the like may be formed between 14.

  The symbol portion 3 is not limited to the letter A or the like. Further, the reflecting film 15 of the reflecting members 15 and 17 or the resin member 16 may be formed not on the reflecting surface but on the painted surface. Furthermore, characters and patterns may be formed on the surfaces of the reflective film 14 and the reflective members 15 and 17 in advance.
