Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow production of a small quantity in diversified kinds by irradiating a resin with laser light to produce thermal discoloration or scorch patterns in the metallic parts corresponding to the substrate thereof. CONSTITUTION:The transparent resin 3 which does not substantially absorb the laser light L is built up on rims, fronts, bridges, rim locks, bars, sweat stoppers, etc. This resin 3 is irradiated with the laser light L to produce the thermal discoloration or scorch patterns 4 in the metallic parts 2 corresponding to the substrate thereof. The resin 3 is exemplified by, for example, thermoplastic resins, such as celluloid and cellulose acetate, or thermosetting resins, such as epoxy resins, unsatd. polyester and polyurethane. The spectacle frame parts provided with the patterns 4 easily in a short period of time are obtd. and the production of a small quantity in diversified kinds is possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to metal eyeglass frame parts such as rims, fronts, temples, and end cells, and particularly to patterned metal eyeglass frame parts.

Conventionally, eyeglass frame parts such as rims, fronts, temples, tip cells, etc. have been made of metal, plastic, tortoiseshell, or a combination thereof.

Among these, metal eyeglass frame parts are popular because they can be made slim. However, even if metal eyeglass frame parts are plated or painted, they lack decorativeness (fashionability) as they are, so there are patterns on all or part of the surface of metal eyeglass frame parts (generally those that are plated). is often added.

Furthermore, after adding a pattern, a transparent thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin is sometimes applied to give a luxurious feel.

By the way, as we enter the age of individualization, the types of patterns preferred by eyeglass frame wearers are increasing. On the other hand, when it comes to eyeglass frame parts with a single pattern, we are now in an era of high-mix, low-volume production where only small quantities can be sold.

In the case of eyeglass frame parts filled with resin, as mentioned above, there is a process of adding patterns and then attaching them to the resin plate, so if we increase the variety of patterns, we will have a large number of products in stock. However, there was a problem in that manufacturing costs increased due to the interest burden on inventory.

Also, patterns have their own trends, and trends change rapidly these days, so if you keep a large inventory of products, if that pattern becomes obsolete, the inventory of products with that pattern will become defective inventory and be discarded. There was also the problem that it had to be done.
