Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an optimum decorative body to be attached to a vehicle for displaying the name, vehicle type, etc. of a vehicle such as an automobile.

[Background technology]

Generally, in automobiles, a molded product of synthetic resin is used as a decorative body for displaying the manufacturer, vehicle type, grade, and the like. This molded product is formed by forming letters, patterns, etc. to be displayed on the base material in a convex shape, heat-bonding (hot stamping) a thin synthetic resin material with a desired color to this convex portion, and then the surface of the molded product is It is designed to be painted with transparent paint. Adhesive tape, clips, etc. are attached to the back surface of this molded product and fixed to the vehicle body.

Such a conventional decorative body has a large wall thickness because the base material is a molded product, a synthetic resin thin wall material has a thickness of 0.1 mm or more, and a transparent paint has a wall thickness of 30 μm or more.

For this reason, the overall wall thickness is 1.7 mm or more, and if the surface of the automobile is curved and cannot be deformed, it is necessary to make a mold that matches this curvature in advance. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture a plurality of molded products for each different vehicle type. Further, the thin-walled synthetic resin material to which heat is attached has a sagging at the corners, and a clear display cannot be performed.

In consideration of the above facts, the present invention can easily cope with a case where the vehicle body surface to be mounted is bent, and can obtain a decorative body with a clear display, a three-dimensional appearance, and excellent durability. Is the purpose.

[Outline and function of the device]

According to the present invention, a thin metal plate representing a shape to be displayed is placed on the surface of a flexible thin base material to which an adhesive is applied, and the surface of the base material is transparent sheet layer together with the thin metal plate. And the metal plate is attached to the base material.

Therefore, in the present invention, the base material and the thin metal plate are flexible, and can be easily deformed and mounted even when the surface of the automobile is curved, and the thin metal plate is convex from the surface of the base material. Since the display is clear and has a three-dimensional effect, the transparent sheet layer is directly adhered to the surface of the base material in the portion where the thin metal plate does not exist. The attachment and adhesion to the will be more reliable, and the durability will be greatly improved.

[Example of device]

1 and 2 show a decorative body 10 to which this embodiment is applied.

In this decorative body 10, a thin metal plate 14 is arranged on the surface of a synthetic resin plate 12 (0.3 mm) as a thin and flexible base material, and the surface of the synthetic resin plate 12 is covered with a transparent laminated resin sheet layer 16. It is being appreciated.

The synthetic resin plate 12 may be a flexible synthetic resin plate, and a relatively flexible and weather resistant synthetic resin such as polyester or ABS is suitable.

The metal plate 14 can be formed by punching out predetermined characters from a thin metal plate, but as shown in FIG. 3, a voltage is applied in a liquid between the pair of electrodes 18, 20 to form the electrode 18
It is also possible to form the metal plate 14 on the surface of the electrode 18 by covering the unnecessary portion of the above with the insulator 22 and performing metal plating to form the metal plate 14 with an electroformed plate. According to this, the metal plate 14 can form a thin metal plate having a thickness of about 40 μm, and it is possible to prevent wrinkles generated during punching and manufacturing. Copper, nickel and the like are particularly suitable for this manufacturing method, but aluminum and the like can also be applied.

The metal plate 14 can be fixed to the synthetic resin plate 12 simply by placing it on the synthetic resin plate 12 and then applying the resin sheet layer 16 (25 μm), but by applying an adhesive to the back surface in advance, Resin plate 12
It may be fixed to.

When this metal plate 14 is manufactured by an electroformed plate as shown in FIG. 3, the corner portion 14A has a surface with an appropriate curvature, so that there is no sag like the conventional product, and the display becomes clear and three-dimensional. A feeling is obtained, and since the surface has a metallic luster, a clear display is possible as a display means.

The same polyester material as that of the synthetic resin plate 12 can be applied to the resin sheet layer 16, but it is a synthetic resin that is transparent and has weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance and has adhesiveness with the synthetic resin plate 12 and the metal plate 14. Other materials such as polypropylene may be used. The resin sheet layer 16 has a function of protecting the metal plate 14 from the outside, and prevents the metal plate 14 from being scratched or rusted by abrasion or the like.

The decorative body 10 configured in this way can have a total thickness of 1 mm or less, and the adhesive 2 is formed on the back surface of the synthetic resin plate 12.
4 is attached and it can be attached to the vehicle body. In this case, since the synthetic resin plate 12, the metal plate 14, and the resin sheet layer 16 are flexible, even if the surface of the automobile is curved, it can be easily deformed along this curve. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately manufacture molded products having different curvatures for different vehicle types and grades, and all may be flat plates.

Further, since the metal plate 14 has no sagging at the corners and has a clear display with a metallic luster, it can be clearly identified as a decorative body, and the metal plate 14 is protected from abrasion, so that it can be used for a long time. Can withstand.
Moreover, since the overall thickness is thin, it is also advantageous in terms of reducing the unevenness of the vehicle body.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, a thin metal plate representing a shape to be displayed is placed on the surface of a flexible thin base material to which an adhesive is applied, and the surface of the base material is placed together with the thin metal plate. Is covered with a transparent sheet layer and the metal plate is attached to the base material, so that the display is clear, has a three-dimensional effect, and has excellent durability, and it is possible to flexibly cope with the curvature of the attachment surface. Has excellent effect.
