Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a picture / character panel, and more specifically, is used as a nameplate, a decorative panel or a plate for displaying a trade mark, an image character, etc. in office machines, household electric appliances, vending machines, vehicles, and the like. Related to picture and character panels.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As this type of picture / text panel, a decorative panel displaying a trademark is known. The decorative panel includes a base having a convex surface formed of a transparent thermoplastic resin, and a trademark pattern transferred to the convex surface of the base.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, since the decorative panel has a trademark pattern on its outer surface, there is a problem that the important trademark pattern may gradually wear and disappear with use. Therefore, one of the main purposes of this invention is to provide a picture and character panel that can hold pictures and characters such as names, trademarks, characters, etc. for a long time and beautifully.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This invention is based on a base made of a transparent or translucent thermoplastic resin whose surface is flat or convex, a picture / character pattern formed on the surface of the base, and a picture / character pattern. A preheated base with a base is mounted on a mold on an injection molding machine, a transparent thermoplastic resin material is injected, and the surface is integrally formed on the base with a convex shape. Provide a picture / text panel consisting of a transparent part that shows In other words, this invention encloses the picture / character pattern so that it can be easily seen from the outside by further covering the surface of the base having the picture / character pattern with the transparent part. It is intended to be able to hold beautifully.

In the present invention, the base is molded with a transparent or translucent thermoplastic resin, and specific examples of the thermoplastic resin that can be used include, but are not limited to, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) resin, PCMA, and the like. (Polycarbonate) resins are preferred. In the present invention, the picture / character pattern means a pattern for displaying a picture or / and a character such as a company or individual's name, a trademark, an image character, and the like. Examples include a thin layer of a picture or / and a character formed by transfer or printing (silk screen, ink jet, etc.), and a metal foil.

In the transparent part, a preheated base having a picture / character pattern is mounted on an injection molding die, and a transparent thermoplastic resin material is injected to form a convex surface on the base integrally. . Here, the transparent thermoplastic resin of the material is not particularly limited, but a PMMA resin and a PC resin are preferable, and the same resin as the base can be more preferable. Here, the picture / character pattern formed on the base is melted, deformed, or deformed by heating to bring the surface of the base into a semi-molten state or by contact with a high-temperature resin material for forming a transparent portion. To prevent discoloration, it is necessary to use a material with a higher melting point than at least the material of the base and the transparent part. For example, as the material of the picture / character pattern, gold foil, aluminum foil and the like can be mentioned.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing Embodiment 1 of a picture / text panel according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a part of an apparatus for manufacturing the picture / text panel. FIG. First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, a picture / character panel 1 includes a base 3 having a flat surface formed of a translucent thermoplastic resin, and a picture / character pattern 5.5 formed on the surface of the base. The transparent part 2 is formed integrally on the base 3 having the picture / character patterns 5 and 5 and has a convex surface. The opaque layer 4 is formed on the back of the base 3.

[0008] Thus, the picture / character panel 1 can see the picture / character pattern 5.5 from the outside through the transparent portion 2, and especially, since the transparent portion 2 itself constitutes a convex lens, -Character patterns 5.5 can be enlarged and clearly seen. In addition, the base 3 and the transparent portion 2 eject the latter transparent material after the former surface is semi-molten as described later, so that the integrated connection is ensured and the transparency between the transparent and translucent portions is ensured. The intermediate layer is formed in the vicinity of the picture / character pattern 5.5 so that the picture / character pattern can be raised from the outside and stand out. Furthermore, since the base 3 is translucent, the shadow of the picture / character pattern 5.5 is thinly formed at the lower part, so that the picture / character pattern 5.5 can be shown and stand out in a unique background. .

Next, a method of manufacturing the picture / character panel 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, the base 3 is preliminarily molded by an injection molding method (or formed into a rod shape by an extrusion molding method, and then cut into a predetermined length), and a picture / character pattern 5.5 is formed on the surface of the base 3. After the transfer, the opaque layer 4 is formed on the back surface of the base 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the transparent thermoplastic resin material is inserted into a separately prepared injection mold (molds 6 and 7), and then the transparent thermoplastic resin material is injected from the pressurizing supply unit 9 onto the surface of the preheated base 3. The transparent part 2 is formed in a convex shape on the base 3 having the picture / character patterns 5.5. Here, the dimensions and material specifications of the picture / character panel 1 are listed for reference. Vertical / horizontal / height of picture / character panel 1: 50mm x 50mm x 4.5mm Base material / thickness: PMMA resin / 3mm Transparent part 2 material / ridge height / valley height: PMMA resin / 1.5mm / 1mm Picture / character pattern 5.5 Material / layer thickness: Gold foil, 0.01mm

Second Embodiment FIG. 4 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 2, showing another embodiment 2. In FIG. 4, a picture / text panel 11 includes a base 13 formed of a translucent synthetic resin with a convex front surface and a concave rear surface, and a picture / text pattern transcribed and formed on the surface of the base. 15, an opaque layer 14 formed on the back surface of the base, and the base 13 having the picture / character pattern are inserted into an injection mold (not shown), and are transparently synthesized on the preheated base 13. The transparent portion 12 is formed by injecting a resin material onto the base 13 and integrally molding the surface into a convex shape.

Thus, since the picture / character pattern 15 is sealed between the base 13 and the transparent portion 12, wear due to use can be prevented, and the transparent portion 12 itself is formed into a convex lens shape. Therefore, there is an effect that the picture / character pattern 15 can be enlarged and viewed clearly from the outside. In particular, since the surface of the base 13 is convex and an intermediate region of transparency is formed at the boundary between the translucent base 13 and the transparent portion 12, the shadow of the picture / character pattern 15 can be formed thin. In addition, the picture / character pattern 15 can be made to stand out with a very unique background.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to this invention, by covering the surface of the base having the picture / character pattern with a transparent portion, the picture / character pattern can be sealed so that it can be easily seen from the outside, and the picture / character pattern can be maintained beautifully for a long time.
