る。 Conventional shelled cases are made by drawing a metal shell or
This method was manufactured by brazing, but with this method, it was impossible to precisely match the dimensions of the shell and the shape of the injection cavity during insert molding. Since the shape of the shell is partially deformed by the molding pressure, surface finishing such as abrasive grinding must be performed in a subsequent process, which has the following disadvantages.

ツクの間に微細なスキマが発生し、殻とプラス
チツク製内胴の密着性が悪くなる。(1) The heat generated by the abrasive grinding process in the post-process creates a minute gap between the shell and the plastic, which deteriorates the adhesion between the shell and the plastic inner shell.

側を完成させる。 In order to manufacture the above-mentioned watch side, first, as shown in Fig. 2, a plastic electroforming master mold 4, which is faithfully transferred from an electroforming master whose surface has been finished with the desired design, is molded using a known plastic molding method, for example. Processed by injection molding, compression molding, etc. Next, a conductive film 5 is formed on the surface of the plastic electroforming mold 4 by vacuum evaporation or electroless plating to give conductivity, and then a platingable metal such as nickel, copper, gold, or silver is applied. Electrodeposited by electroforming method,
An electroformed shell 1 is formed. Next, the injection cavity 12 of the insert molding mold is manufactured.As shown in FIG. A casting master 7 is used, and the surface of the secondary electroforming master is plated 7a thickly, and a mold release agent 7b is applied, and then it is placed on a glass plate 8. Next, after sealing the gap between the glass ring 9 and the glass plate 8 with clay 10, heat-resistant resin or heat-resistant resin 11 containing metal powder is poured and hardened, and the post-processed product is used as an insert molding mold as an injection cavity 12. and complete the mold. The thick plating on the secondary master 7 is to provide clearance between the electroformed shell 1 and the injection cavity 12, and the amount of clearance varies depending on the shape of the watch side, but is 5μ.
~1000μ is good. In addition, the heat-resistant resin that is the material of the injection cavity 12 is stronger when it contains metal powder, and it is stronger when it contains about 80% metal powder by weight. Further, the metal powder preferably contains metal powder such as aluminum, iron, copper, nickel, stainless steel, etc., or inorganic powder such as alumina. Next, the electroformed shell 1 is processed by cutting, press punching, etc. to process the glass insertion part, buttonhole, etc., and then coated with a finishing plating layer made of precious metals such as nickel, gold, rhodium, and chromium, and then molded into the insert molding metal. Set in a mold and perform injection molding to complete the watch side.

の効果は大きい。 The method of the present invention is based on the electroformed shell as described above.
Since the injection cavity of the insert molding mold is made of heat-resistant resin or heat-resistant resin containing metal powder, there is no gap between the electroformed shell and the injection cavity, so the pressure during injection molding causes the shell to Since there is no deformation and there is no need for finishing processing after injection molding, finish plating can be done before insert injection molding, making it possible to manufacture shelled cases with a plating finish such as gold. In addition, since the external shape can be expressed freely, designs can be diversified, and watch sides with complex and high-quality patterns that are extremely difficult to mass-produce using normal machining methods can be mass-produced. Furthermore, since the surface pattern is accurately reproduced from a high-quality finished master, there is no need for finishing such as polishing cloth in the final process, which has great effects such as improved processing efficiency.
