Description

  The present invention includes fishing equipment such as fishing rods and reel mounting parts, golf equipment such as golf clubs, tennis equipment such as tennis rackets, badminton equipment such as badminton rackets, ski equipment such as ski stocks, bicycle equipment such as bicycle frames, It relates to sports equipment such as The present invention relates to the formation (including pattern formation) of characters and designs on the surface of a tubular body, the surface of a solid bar, a flat plate, and other members.

Examples in which letters and the like are provided on the surface of a fishing rod as one of sports equipment are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. In the former, a film having a predetermined shape is stuck on the member main body to form a decorative layer for characters and the like. If necessary, a transparent or translucent protective layer is provided as the outermost layer. The latter is formed by digging a character or the like into a member body such as a grip with a laser to maintain the wear resistance of the character or the like.
JP 2000-218999 A JP 2002-306029 A

However, in the former, since the surface of the decorative layer protrudes from the peripheral region, the surface of the decorative layer is easily damaged. When the member is a fishing rod, the projected decorative layer surface is easily damaged when dropped on the ground. Even when the protective layer is provided as the outermost layer, the surface of the protective layer is likely to be scratched if it is repeatedly dropped or rubbed by hand. Sexuality decreases. In the latter case, characters and the like are difficult to wear, but since the characters and the like are engraved in the member body, if the member is subjected to a strong external force, the strength of the member itself is reduced, which is not preferable.
Therefore, the problem to be solved is to provide a sports equipment that can maintain the visibility and decorativeness of characters and designs without causing a reduction in the strength of the member body, and a manufacturing method thereof.

In the first invention, a seal member is adhered to the outer surface of the sports equipment, and a coating is provided in contact with the seal member at a peripheral region which is the outer surface excluding the surface of the seal member. The sports equipment is characterized in that the surface of the coating at the boundary between the coating and the sealing member is higher than the surface of the sealing member.
What is a coating, such as painting, printing including transfer, plating, dry plating, injection molding of a rubber material or a resin material, etc., on the surface of a sports equipment body or an undercoat layer on the surface This layer is formed, and it is formed on this layer.
The sealing member only needs to be capable of being attached to the surface of the member. In addition to a resin seal, a foil obtained by stretching a noble metal such as a gold foil or a silver foil, a foil obtained by physical vapor deposition, a metal plate, a hologram foil, a pigment, Dye is mixed into the base member or deposited on the surface of the base member, or it is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent structural color body with multiple layers of ultra-thin films with different light refraction, etc. Or a combination of these. These aim is to give the character and shape of the seal member decorativeness.

In the second invention, the seal member of the first invention is a base member facing the outer surface of the sports equipment through the adhesive layer or the adhesive layer, and is located above the base member and transparent. Or it is translucent and it comprises so that it may comprise the protection member which planar view shape is the same as a base member.
In the third aspect of the invention, the base upper layer in a state where at least a part of the base member is exposed is interposed between the base member and the protective member of the second aspect of the invention.

  In 4th invention, it comprises so that the difference of the surface height in the boundary of the sealing member and film in 1st-3rd invention may exist in the range of 25-90 micrometers.

  In the fifth invention, a sealing member body in which a masking member having the same planar view shape as the sealing member is superimposed on the surface of the sealing member, and the surface opposite to the masking member in the thickness direction is the outer surface of the sports equipment. After the sealing member body is pasted and adhered, a coating is provided on the outer surface, which is a peripheral region of the sealing member body, at least continuously with the boundary of the sealing member body. Provided is a sports equipment manufacturing method, characterized in that a coating film is provided in such a thickness that a surface of a coating film at a boundary with a member body is higher than a sealing member surface, and the masking member is removed after the coating film is formed.

  In the first invention, since the coating provided in the peripheral region in contact with the seal member and the boundary is formed higher than the seal member surface at the boundary, the seal member has a high profile (thickness). Since it is surrounded by the coating and located at a position lower than the coating of the contour portion, even if the sports equipment is dropped or the like, the ground or the like is unlikely to directly hit the seal member surface, and the seal member surface is hardly damaged. In addition, since the seal member is not provided by digging the article main body, the strength of the sporting article is not reduced.

  The second invention defines one embodiment, and the third invention further restricts the second invention. In 3rd invention, a base | substrate upper layer is added with respect to a base | substrate member, and a decorating property can be improved further. The fourth invention also regulates the difference in height between the seal member and the coating, and within this height difference range, the surface of the seal member can be prevented from being damaged, and the surface height position The high coating does not get in the way as sports equipment.

  In the fifth invention, since the sealing member body in which the masking member having the same planar view shape as that of the sealing member is superposed on the surface of the sealing member is adhered, the coating is applied to the peripheral region in contact with the sealing member body and the boundary. In the case of forming the film, even if the film is formed including the surface of the seal member body, the film does not remain on the surface of the seal member only by peeling off the masking member later. Since the coating is provided at a thickness that is higher than the surface of the seal member at the boundary with the seal member body, the sporting article after formation can be protected from being scratched because the surface of the seal member is lower than the coating.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial view of a fishing rod 10 as an example of sports equipment according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. Here, the seal member 12 of each letter of A, B, C is stuck to the outer surface of the fishing rod main body 10H which is a fiber reinforced resin material (FRP). Moreover, the coating film 20 which consists of a coating film is provided in the outer surface (periphery area | region which touches a boundary with a sealing member) of the fishing rod main body except the surface of the sealing member. The thickness of the coating 20 is greater than the thickness of the seal member at the boundary with the seal member 12. When the coating 20 is composed of a plurality of layers, the thickness of the entire coating up to the outermost layer surface is larger than the thickness of the seal member. Therefore, the seal member 12 is in a low position surrounded by the high-thickness film 20. The difference in height between the outer surface position P20 of the coating film 20 at the boundary and the outer surface position P12 of the seal member 12 at the same boundary is 70 μm in this embodiment, but may be 25 to 90 μm.

  Further, due to the relationship between the size (circumferential width) of the circumferential angle θ of the seal member 12 and the height difference between the outer surface positions P20 and P12, the position P20 is opposite to the circumferential direction. When the outer surface position P20 ′ at the boundary is connected with a straight line, if any part of the outer surface of the seal member 12 is lower than the straight line, the surface of the seal member may be further hardly damaged when dropped.

  As a method for manufacturing the fishing rod 10, first, a sheet member having the seal member 12 shown in FIG. 3 is prepared. That is, the masking member 14 having the same form as the seal member is superposed on the upper side of the seal member 12 having a predetermined contour. Here, a member in which the seal member and the masking member are overlapped is referred to as a seal member body 15, and a transparent film 16 wider than the seal member body is overlapped on the masking member side surface of the seal member body. On the other hand, the mount 18 is superposed on the seal member side rear surface (lower surface) of the seal member body.

  The mount 18 is peeled off from the sheet member formed as described above before the seal member 12 is attached to the fishing rod 10 as the target article. In this example, the operator has the film 16 on which the seal member bodies 15 of the three characters A, B, and C are arranged at an appropriate interval and are temporarily held and stuck, and the seal member is facing the mount. The 12 surfaces are attached to a predetermined position on the surface of the fishing rod main body 10H while seeing through the transparent film 16 from above. When the sticking operation of the seal member body 15 to the fishing rod main body is completed, the film 16 is peeled off and removed.

  Thereafter, the coating film 20 is formed on the outer surface of the fishing rod main body 10H, which is a peripheral region in contact with the seal member body 15. There is no problem even if a film is formed on the surface of the seal member body, that is, the surface of the masking member 14 in forming this film. This is because the masking member is removed after the coating is formed.

  In the seal member 12 in FIG. 3, a printed layer 12C is partially provided on a base member 12A expressing characters and figures, and a transparent or translucent resin film 12B having the same shape as the base member is provided thereon. Is provided. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the seal member 12 does not have the print layer 12 </ b> C. Thus, the seal member 12 only needs to express a desired character or figure, and its structure and form are arbitrary.

  A specific layer structure as an example will be described. The base member 12A is 25 μm thick silver PET (polyethylene terephthalate), the printed layer 12C is about 20 μm gray paint layer, the resin film 12B is 12 μm thick transparent PET, and the masking member 14 is 70 μm thick matte transparent ( Translucent PVC (vinyl chloride resin) and film 16 are transparent PET having a thickness of 50 μm. The mount 18 may have a thickness for holding the sheet member in a flat plate shape and has an appropriate bending rigidity. As the mount, paper, PP (polypropylene), PET, PVC or the like can be used, and the thickness is preferably 25 to 100 μm.

  As is apparent from the method of using the sheet member, when the adhesive strength between the layers is described in order from the smallest, the space between the base member 12A and the mount 18, the masking member 14 and the film 16, the seal member 12 and the masking member 12 is masked. This is the order between the members 14. Moreover, when the resin film 12B exists in the sealing member 12, the space between the resin film 12B and the base member 12A or the printing layer 12C needs to be larger than the adhesive force between the layers. Moreover, the adhesive force between the seal member 12 and the fishing rod main body 10H (attachment target member) is the largest. If comprised in this way, when peeling a base_sheet | mounting_paper | mounting_paper initially, it can prevent that the film 16 etc. peel off together, and when the masking member 14 is peeled off after sticking a sealing member on sporting goods, the sealing member 12 It can prevent co-peeling.

  The coating 20 has a layer formed on the surface of the fishing rod main body 10H by painting, printing (including transfer), plating, dry plating, or injection molding of a rubber material or a resin material. In this embodiment, the coating 20 is formed over the entire circumference (360 degrees) of the fishing rod main body 10 </ b> H except for the surface of the seal member 12. The length range is an appropriate length range that covers the length range of characters and symbols so as to exceed the arrangement region length of the three characters A, B, and C in FIG. However, it may not be provided over the entire circumference of the fishing rod main body 10H, but may be provided partially, for example, a half circumference including the region of the seal member.

  The sealing member 12 only needs to be able to be adhered, and in addition to a resin seal, a foil obtained by stretching a noble metal such as a gold foil or a silver foil, a foil obtained by physical vapor deposition, a metal plate, a hologram foil, a pigment or a dye These are mixed with the base member or deposited on the surface of the base member, or are formed of a transparent or semi-transparent structural color body with multiple layers of ultra-thin films with different light refraction, etc. Can also be formed. In addition, in the case of joint-type fishing rods, even if letters, designs, etc. are applied to the joint areas that rub against each other during joining, the surrounding coating is higher, so the durability of such letters, designs is maintained. The

  The present invention is used for fishing equipment such as fishing rods and reel mounting parts, golf equipment such as golf clubs, tennis equipment such as tennis rackets, badminton equipment such as badminton rackets, ski equipment such as ski stocks, and bicycle equipment such as bicycle frames. it can.
