Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a resin part for a game machine (such as a pachinko machine, a slot machine, and other game machines).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Amusement machine resin products (exterior panels / frames, winning / outgoing ball entrances, other display parts, handle parts, etc.) are colored using printing means such as coating. These resin products are required to be improved in appearance, brilliancy, or to change characters, patterns, and the like, and therefore, various measures have been taken. For example, there is a slot machine and a pachinko game machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-76497 (Reference (1)). The present invention provides a slot machine in which a front surface of a machine is constituted by a plurality of exterior panels, and an exterior panel located at the installation height of the reel is provided with a symbol display window for visually recognizing a symbol display section of each reel from outside. In at least one of the exterior panels, at least one exterior panel has a color formed on the back surface of a transparent substrate using an ink in which particles whose mica surface is coated with a titanium dioxide film are mixed with a transparent resin. And a light-shielding layer having an achromatic surface color on the coloring layer. Therefore, the exterior panel looks different in color depending on the viewing direction and angle, has a different appearance, and has an effect of increasing the visual stimulus of the player.

[0003] Among resin molded products, as a resin composition having a metallic appearance, there is, for example, a resin composition disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2651058 (Reference (2)). The present invention has a configuration in which 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a glass flake having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 3 mm and an average thickness of 1 to 30 μm coated with a metal is mixed with 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin. Therefore, there is a feature that it is possible to provide a deep, high-grade metallic molded article.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The document (1) has a configuration in which light reflected at the boundary between the titanium dioxide film and the mica interferes to obtain an emission color according to the thickness of the titanium dioxide film and the thickness of the mica. Therefore, there is a problem that the light emission is limited to light of a specific color, and is not sufficient for light emission of various colors.

[0005] Further, Document (1) discloses that a color-forming layer using an ink in which particles whose mica surface is coated with titanium dioxide is mixed in a transparent resin is provided on the surface of an achromatic light-shielding sheet. In this configuration, a transparent resin film is provided on the surface. Therefore, problems such as a three-layer structure, complicated structure, and high cost are considered.

Further, Document (1) discloses a configuration in which light reflected at a boundary between a titanium dioxide film and mica interferes to obtain an emission color according to the thickness of the titanium dioxide film and the thickness of the mica. Therefore, there is a problem that the light emission is limited to light emission of a specific color, and is not sufficient for light emission of various colors.

[0007] Next, the above-mentioned reference (2) is limited to a high-metallic resin composition, so that it only emits light of a specific color, and is not sufficient for light emission of various colors. There is.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention of claim 1 intends to remove the harmful effects of the conventional coating (skill, pollution due to wastewater treatment, difficulty in re-use, etc.), improve the glitter, and use the photocatalytic action of titanium dioxide.

Claim 1 is a resin component such as a decoration for a game machine, a display board or a frame material, wherein the resin component has an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 3 mm with respect to 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin. A resin part for a game machine, characterized by mixing 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of glass flakes having an average thickness of 1 to 30 μm coated with titanium dioxide and color.

[0010] The invention of claim 2 is to exhibit high luminous feeling peculiar to glass flakes by a metal coating, or to achieve light contrast by various combinations using uncoloration of reflected light. Intended.

[0011] Claim 2 is a resin part of a game machine in which titanium dioxide is an anatase type.

The invention according to claim 3 is to provide a metallic coating having a high brilliancy unique to glass flakes, or to control the film thickness of the coating layer accurately while making the most of the smoothness of the glass flake surface, and to provide optical interference. To express vivid chromatic colors.

[0013] Claim 3 is a resin part of a game machine in which titanium dioxide is made of rutile.

[0014]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The resin used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a moldable thermoplastic resin. For example Po Riechiren, polyps propylene, ethylene - propylene Renkoho ° Rimmer, Po polystyrene, ABS, AES, AS, acrylic resin, Po Rimechiruhe Bu pentene, Po Riamito Bu, Po triethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene ° Ji terephthalate, Po Riarireto, Po Li acetal, Po Rikaho Bu sulfonates, Po polyphenylene ether, Po Risuruhon, Po Li phenylene sulfide preparative Bu, poly Examples thereof include ether sulfone, polybutadiene, and the like, and copolymers, mixtures, and modified products of these polymers. In particular, highly transparent resins such as acrylic resin, polystyrene, AS resin, and polycarbonate are preferred. The resin may be colored with a dye or pigment.

The glass flake used in the present invention has an average particle size of 0.01 to 3 mm and an average thickness of 1 to 30 μm. In addition, the particle size here is the longest part of the flake. The material of the glass flakes is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used for thermoplastic resins, and any of alkali-containing glass, low alkali glass, and non-alkali glass can be used.

The glass flakes are coated with titanium dioxide. This coating is not particularly limited, but an appropriate method is adopted. For example, a method using electroless plating is preferable, and the thickness of the coating is usually set to 0.00001 to 10 μm. In order to secure a smooth surface of the glass flakes, preferably, the entire surface is coated uniformly. The surface of the coated glass flake is coated with a reflection color such as a coat, a green, a blue, a half-filled, and the like, and a color tone is given to the glass flake.

If the amount of the coated glass flakes is too small, it is difficult to obtain a deep color tone, and if the amount is too large, physical properties and the like are adversely affected. Therefore, 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin is used. It is desirable to use 5 parts by weight.
