Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tire of an automobile having an advertisement effect and decoration effect. <P>SOLUTION: A pattern, a product name or a company name 2 is described on a side of a black and inconspicuous tire 1 of an automobile or the like by using luminous paint to give the luminous and bright function in darkness. Difference is given between the view in a bright condition during the daytime and the view in a dark condition during the nighttime. The color of the pattern and the product name is changed between the nighttime and the daytime to draw the attention and to enhance the advertisement effect. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

    It relates to the pattern and display method of automobile tires.

  Car tires are sober and most are made of black rubber. There is also a product with a protruding part on the side and a company name or product name, and the part is colored in blue or yellow. However, these things are overlooked because they are not particularly attracting attention, and have little advertising effect.

  The present invention is a device for processing an inconspicuous and sober automobile tire so as to have an advertising effect and a decoration effect.

As means for solving the problems to be solved by the invention, a pattern, a product name, or a company name is described on the side of the tire using a phosphorescent paint. Phosphorescent paint is displayed in white or yellow in the same way as general paints during the day, but receives sunlight during the day and accumulates light. The company name, etc. is shiningly displayed in a dark place. If you use the properties of phosphorescent pigments, the colors will be different between day and night, attracting people's attention and high advertising effectiveness. There are things that are white in the day and change to sky blue at night, those that are white in the day and glow in yellow at night, and those that glow yellow in the day and bluish in the night. In addition, daytime color can be changed to many colors using colored glass powder.

Night parking lots are generally dim or dark. At this time, the other cars are not clearly located in the dark and are only quietly stopped, but the tires displayed with phosphorescent paint emit clear light and display the pattern, product name, company name, etc. Because it attracts attention and attracts attention, the advertising effect is extremely high. In addition, since the phosphorescent part looks like a circle in dimly lit places or at night, the tire part runs as a shining circle and the decoration effect is extremely high.
If letters and patterns are drawn in steps, a double and triple glowing circle will be displayed on the tire.

  There are various display methods using phosphorescent paint. Although it may be painted by the same method as general paint, there is also a method of processing during the manufacturing process of the tire. Letters and patterns may be cut out of a material containing a phosphorescent pigment and pasted with an adhesive. To process tires in the manufacturing process, the letters and patterns on the tire mold are processed with phosphorescent paint, and then the rubber raw material is poured into the mold to wait for it to harden.

In Example 1, the case where characters are painted will be described. In this target tire, the letters GOODYEAR and EAGLE # 1 were previously molded as protrusions. Since this part was painted blue general paint but did not emit light, it is only a color identification. Applying a phosphorescent paint can enhance the advertising effect by producing color changes between a bright state and a dark state without a light source. In this case, the paint was painted in such a way that it was white in a bright place and changed to sky blue in a dark place without a light source. By the way, it is possible to produce a yellow light in a bright place and a green light in a dark place without a light source.
The application method is as follows. First, the character portion of the tire is shaved with a sandpaper to prepare a base, and then cleaned with a solvent. The phosphorescent paint used here is resistant to UV deterioration, and the acid- and alkali-resistant PVA-based OM emulsion made by Kuraray is used as a binder with OM-5000 brand as a binder. ) GLL-300 was added with 20% of cold water having a weight ratio of 40% and a particle size of 10 microns or less and mixed well until homogeneous to prepare a phosphorescent paint. A character tape that had already been formed as a protruding portion was surrounded and a curing tape was applied to prevent the paint from adhering to places other than the letters, and then the phosphorescent paint prepared was applied with a brush. If the phosphorescent pigment becomes spotted, the way it shines will not be uniform, so apply lightly without thick coating, check the distribution of the phosphorescent pigment, and reapply the phosphorescent paint to make it uniform. When the phosphorescent paint is cured and dried, the work is finished by spraying acrylic resin on the surface.

  In a method of pasting a ready-made dial, a phosphorescent sheet sold as an off-the-shelf product (for example, a lumi sheet sold by Nemoto Special Chemical Co., Ltd.) is punched and cut out with a required character pattern to create a dial. This is affixed to the necessary places in the order of the necessary letters with rubber glue or thermocompression bonded. The order of the characters is made a formwork, and if you put the dial in this formwork, there is no doubt that the work goes smoothly.

  This invention can be used for industrial trucks and heavy machinery with large tire diameters. The tires for buffering a shore attached to a small ship are also objects that can effectively utilize the gist of the invention. Alternatively, when used for a life buoy, the location of the life buoy becomes clear in the case of salvage in the dark, and the life saving effect is enhanced.

The condition of a tire in a bright place with letters and designs printed with phosphorescent paint. The condition of a dark place where there is no light source of the tire which has written letters and designs with phosphorescent paint.
