2. Description of the Related Art Recently, environmental problems have become an important concern on a global scale, and it is very important to reuse products that have been used once in order to save resources. Yes, various products are being reused. In particular, since resin products are lightweight and inexpensive and are used in various fields, it is obvious that their reuse can greatly contribute to resource saving. By the way, such a resin product is often once melted and then commercialized again. However, the resin exterior cover 1 such as a main body of a facsimile machine, a copying machine or the like and an opening / closing member is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, since the sticking member 2 such as a sticker or decal for handling instructions and precautions of the device is stuck on the surface, it is necessary to peel the sticking member 2 and reuse it.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned outer cover 1, since the sticking member 2 is in close contact with the cover 1, it is very difficult to peel it off, and in most cases, most of the outer cover 1 is stuck to the outer cover 1. Only part of it was peeled off while it was being worn. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), in order to make it easy to understand the position where the sticking member 2 is stuck, the sticking surface 1 a is made clear with a part of the outer cover 1 as a paragraph, There is a problem that it is almost impossible to peel off the adhesive member 2 from the la, and it is difficult to reuse the resin cover.

As a material which does not cause such a problem, for example, there is a sticking member formed of a special material which can be reused while being stuck to the outer cover.
In this product, the material is limited, and the printing paint may be mixed with the resin at the time of heating and melting, which causes a problem that the efficiency for reuse is extremely deteriorated.

Further, as an adhesive member which can be easily peeled off, there is, for example, one described in JP-A-61-13855, which is shown in FIG. 4 (c). The sticking member 5 is for sealing the toner storage port of the toner cartridge, and has an unsticked portion 5a which is not stuck to the cartridge on its side. When the sticking member 5 is removed from the cartridge, the unsticked portion 5a
The sticking member 5 can be easily removed from the cartridge by gripping and pulling with a hand.

However, since such a sticking member 5 seals a cartridge which is used in the short term,
The sticking portion 5a does not interfere, but if the sticking member 5 described above is used as the sticking member that is attached to the entire surface of the outer cover for the purpose of explaining the use of the facsimile device, it will be used for a long time. Even if it is desired, it is easy to peel off from the non-adhered portion 5a, and the appearance of the non-adhered portion 5a is bad, so that there is a problem that it cannot be adhered and used sufficiently for a long period of time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a resin exterior cover which can be easily peeled off and can be reused sufficiently.
