Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a band that is attached for decoration to the surface of various boxes such as television receivers, computers, word processor display cabinets, record boxes, niche furniture, etc.

Conventionally, for example, the cabinet of a television receiver has decorative lines on the front or on the front and sides, and this line has woodgrain patterns,
Alternatively, accents are added with gold, silver, etc. Here, in the conventional product, as shown in Figure 8, the end surface b of the thin plate a made of hard plastic is made into a decorative line surface, and engaging legs c, c, etc. with a rectangular cross section are integrally formed at the rear of the thin plate a. , each engagement leg c
is inserted into and engaged with a rectangular hole drilled into the cabinet. However, as shown in the figure, this conventional product has a complicated shape, and since it is injection molded, the mold cost is high and production efficiency is low. In addition, since it is made of hard plastic, the size and model of the cabinet
A wide variety of products must be manufactured to accommodate various mounting positions, which is disadvantageous both in terms of manufacturing and economics. Furthermore, it requires high precision to reliably drill a rectangular hole that fits the engagement leg c into the cabinet, making it difficult to manufacture the cabinet itself.

This invention solves these inconveniences by forming a locking groove 2 on the back side of the strip 1 made of a plastic film sheet, and also integrating a locking piece 4 on the front side of the plastic mounting piece 3. The elastic opening/closing legs 5, each consisting of a plurality of bulges 5a, 5a, 5a, 5a and a leg 5b integral with each bulge 5a, are integrally formed on the back surface of the mounting piece 3, and each bulge The outer peripheral shape of the portion 5a is formed into an arc shape whose cross section is part of a perfect circle, and a plurality of mounting pieces 3, 3, 3 are formed.
The locking pieces 4 are fitted into the locking grooves 2 at predetermined intervals and are bonded together.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described according to the drawings. The strip 1 is obtained by cutting a plastic film sheet with a thickness of 0.4 mm into a width of 10 mm, and a locking groove 2 with a depth of 0.1 mm is formed in the longitudinal direction of the back side, and a wood grain pattern or silver color is formed on the front side. Made by printing. Further, a square locking piece 4 is integrally formed on the front side of the mounting piece 3 made of hard plastic, and elastic opening/closing legs 5 are integrally formed on the back side of the mounting piece 3. This elastic opening/closing leg 5 is made up of four leg parts 5b, 5b, 5b, 5b and a bulging part 5a integrally formed at the end of each leg part 5b, and each bulging part 5a has a fan-shaped cross section. Together, the outer circumferential arc d forms part of a perfect circle (indicated by the imaginary line e in FIG. 5). Furthermore, an adhesive is applied to each of the locking pieces 4 of the plurality of mounting pieces 3, 3, 3, . Note that the strip 1 is cut to a predetermined length according to the size of the cabinet, and the one shown in Figs. 1 to 4 is of a type that can be attached only to the front of the cabinet 8, and the one shown in Figs. The one shown is of the type that can be installed on the front and both sides of the cabinet 8.
(Figure 5 shows the front type;
Common to front and side types).

Next, a cabinet for a television receiver in which the embodiment is used will be described. A groove 6 is formed on the front surface of the cabinet 8 in the case shown in the first to fourth figures, and on the front and both side surfaces of the cabinet 8 in the case shown in the sixth to seventh figures. Engagement holes 7, 7, 7... are bored in advance, and the grooves 6
A gap 7' is formed between the end of the cabinet 8 and the cabinet 8.

Next, how to use the embodiment will be explained. Insert the end of the strip 1 into the gap 7' and insert the opening/closing leg 5 into the engagement hole 7.
Insert it into the Here, the engaging leg 5 is pushed in the closing direction,
When the bulging portions 5a, 5a pass through the engagement hole 7, they open due to elasticity and engage as shown in the fourth and seventh figures, and the strip 1
is installed.

In this way, this invention makes extrusion molding possible because the strips are made from plastic film sheets, which costs about 1/3 of the cost of conventional products, and can be cut to fit the size and model of the box such as a cabinet. There is no need to prepare a large variety of products unlike conventional products, and since it is flexible, it can be easily attached to any curved surface including corners. In addition, the installation work can be done easily and quickly because the legs open and close elastically, and since the opening and closing legs have multiple bulges, the engagement force is large, especially the shape of the outer periphery of the bulges. Since the cross section is an arc shape that is part of a perfect circle, it is only necessary to drill a perfect circular engagement hole in the object to be attached such as a cabinet, and it is extremely easy to accurately drill a perfect circular hole. This makes it easier to manufacture the object to be attached.

Furthermore, since a locking groove is formed in the strip, the locking piece can be attached easily and reliably, and an accurate product with no positional errors can be obtained.

In addition, when this invention is installed in the cabinet, that is, the concave groove mentioned in the example, since it is depressed from the cabinet, there is no risk of the strip surface being worn or the printing peeling off even after long-term use. Insert the end of the strip into the gap in the cabinet for more secure installation.
