DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a small item such as a reflection button for reflecting light by a reflection material and a method of manufacturing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Today, in order to prevent traffic accidents, especially at night, at various places such as shoes, bags, and clothes,
Reflectors are encouraged. As one of the attempts, an attempt has been made to make a button of a clothes have a reflection function, and development of a reflection button having a larger reflection effect is desired. In particular, from the viewpoint of preventing traffic accidents, it is necessary that the light of the headlight be reflected by the reflection button and reach the driver's eyes of the automobile with strong light. On the other hand, various accessories, such as buttons, which can be worn by a person on a body or clothing, or carried by a hand, are one of the main decorative elements of a person, Putting priority only on the item may destroy the commercial value of the accessory.

[0003] Generally, reflective materials are roughly classified into a closed type and an open type. A typical example of this open type is that there is no synthetic resin film above the reflective beads on the surface of the reflective material, and although there is an advantage that the reflective performance is higher than that of the closed type, resin or liquid adheres to the surface. Then, there is a disadvantage that the reflection performance is completely lost. On the other hand, the closed type is the opposite of the open type, in which a synthetic resin film is provided above the reflective beads. There is an advantage that the reflection performance does not decrease even if it adheres. Therefore, in the structure of a small object such as a conventional reflection button,
Closed type reflectors have been used. In the case of using an open type, it is necessary to use the bare reflective material in order to not lose its reflectivity, poor weather resistance, if it is wet with rainwater, it will not reflect The problem arises.
Further, in the case of buttons, washing and cleaning are performed together with clothes, so that washing resistance must be improved.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention can provide a reflection effect, in particular, a strong light for a driver of an automobile, and can maintain the quality of the button and the decoration of the button. It is intended to provide a reflective button that does not impair the function. Another object of the present invention is to maintain the high reflection performance of an open-type reflection material and the like and, by enclosing the surface in a synthetic resin, the reflection of a reflection button or the like which does not lose its reflectivity even when wet with water or the like. It is intended to provide small articles provided with materials. Further, the present invention is to provide a method capable of manufacturing a small item such as a reflective button having both the reflective function and the decorative function as described above.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a reflective button according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a structural explanatory view along the longitudinal section. In the drawings, in order to clarify the existence of each component, the ratio of the size (thickness) between the components is drawn at a different ratio from the actual one. However, the gist of the present invention is not the ratio of the size of each member, but the ratio can be appropriately changed and implemented.

The button according to this embodiment has a metal button body 1 provided with a reflecting member, and a button attaching foot 12 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom 11 of the button body 1. The button body 1 has a short, bottomed cylindrical shape. In other words, the button main body 1 is configured such that the entirety other than the button attaching feet 12 constitutes a reflector mounting portion, and has an opening 13 with an open upper surface. An opening recess 14 is formed in a planar shape.

The reflecting material 3 is fixed to the bottom of the opening recess 14 (ie, the upper surface of the bottom 11 of the button body 1) by the adhesive 2. The pressure-sensitive adhesive 2 is applied to the entire back surface of the reflective material 3, but may be part of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 2, or even if it is not provided at all, it is not removed from the button body 1 by the synthetic resin layer described later.

The reflecting member 3 has a sheet shape having substantially the same planar shape as the bottom of the opening recess 13. The reflective material 3 may be of any type, such as an open type, a closed type, and a capsule lens type. A reflective material whose reflective performance is reduced by half or less when a resin adheres makes full use of the advantages of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a typical open type reflector 3 in which reflective beads 32 are arranged on a substrate 31 in a bare state.

A double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 4 having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on both sides is adhered to the periphery of the front surface of the reflector 3. A transparent plate 6 made of a synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride or acrylic is provided on the upper surface of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 4. Is sticky. In this embodiment, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 4 is used as the bonding means for forming the blocking bonding portion 4, but other bonding agents may be used. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 4 serving as an adhesive means for blocking
It is arranged in a ring shape because it is arranged over the entire circumference around the surface side of the surface, but the center may be adhered if it is a part thereof. However, for the central part,
The adhesion impairs the reflection function of the reflection material 3, so that it is necessary to apply only a part of the reflection material 3 while leaving the reflection surface. That is, the important thing about the central part is that the reflecting material 3
And a non-adhesive portion 5 in which no adhesive means is interposed between the adhesive tape 4 and the double-sided adhesive tape 4. Further, with respect to the bonding portion 4 for blocking, a spacer such as a washer may be interposed between the reflective material 3 and the transparent plate 6 even if the reflective material 3 and the transparent plate 6 are not directly bonded. One surface and the reflector 3 are adhered, and the other surface of the spacer and the transparent plate 6
For example, the entire periphery of the reflective material 3 and the transparent plate 6 may be bonded indirectly by bonding.

The synthetic resin transparent plate 6 may have a small thickness, as long as it can prevent the synthetic resin from flowing into the reflecting member 3 by pouring the synthetic resin described later. Therefore, the concept of the “plate” is not limited by its thickness. Even if it is thin such as a sheet or a film, it has a strength that can prevent the synthetic resin from adhering to the reflecting material 3. , Corresponds to the transparent plate 6 of the present application. On the upper or lower surface of the transparent plate 6, a display section 71 for characters, symbols, figures, and the like such as school insignia can be provided by printing, coating, arrangement, or the like. It is also advantageous to apply a contour as the display section 72 around the periphery in a similar manner in that the blocking adhesive portion 4 provided around the periphery is hidden. Since the reflection function is lost in the portion where these display portions 71 and 72 are provided,
At least a portion of the non-adhesive portion 5 on which the display unit 72 is not provided needs to be provided. The material of the display section 72 may be a luminescent fluorescent paint or the like, a normal ink or paint having no luminescent property, or a non-transparent synthetic resin or metal. Further, the gold foil of the display units 71 and 72 may be arranged by a technique called so-called foil pressing.

A transparent synthetic resin 8 having fluidity, such as a transparent epoxy resin, is poured from above the transparent plate 6.
In the figure, the transparent synthetic resin is poured to the same level as the upper end of the outer periphery of the button body 1, but may be lower than the upper end, or may be in a raised state due to surface tension or the like. Can also. A UV resin may be used instead of the epoxy resin. However, the epoxy resin takes a long time to solidify, but is advantageous in that the internal air is appropriately released during the solidification. The opening 13 is closed by solidifying the transparent synthetic resin 8. That is, in the example shown in the figure, the transparent synthetic resin 8 is tightly fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the opening concave portion 14 and the transparent plate 6 so that the opening 1
3, the non-adhesive portion 5 and the reflection material 3 inside are protected. From this pouring to the solidification, the transparent synthetic resin 8 flows from the gap between the inner peripheral wall of the opening concave portion 14 and the transparent plate 6 from the internal non-adhesive portion 5 to the surface of the reflecting material 3, resulting in defective products. However, as described above, the transparent synthetic resin 8 can be prevented from entering by forming the blocking adhesive portion 4 such as an adhesive tape or an adhesive over the entire circumference. .

Here, a method of manufacturing this button will be described. First, as shown in FIG.
The transparent plate 6 is connected with the ring-shaped double-sided adhesive tape 4
Glue. Alternatively, the reflecting material 3 and the transparent plate 6 are bonded using an adhesive. The bonding means of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 4 can prevent the transparent synthetic resin 8 from invading by bonding the transparent plate 6 and the reflecting agent 3 over the entire circumference as described above. Further, in addition to the bonding of the surrounding bonding portions 4 for blocking, bonding may be performed to a part of the central portion. The display units 71 and 72 are composed of the reflecting material 3 and the transparent plate 6.
It is efficient if it is previously applied to the transparent plate 6 before bonding, but it may be performed after bonding. And this is arrange | positioned at the bottom part of the opening recessed part 13 of the button main body 1. FIG.
At this time, if a material in which the adhesive material 2 is stopped and applied to the back surface of the reflecting material 3 in advance is used, the positioning is ensured. From this state, the reflective button is completed by pouring and solidifying the transparent synthetic resin 8.

As shown in FIG. 1, the completed button can be seen through the transparent synthetic resin 8, the transparent plate 6, and the non-adhesive portion 5, the reflective material 3 at the bottom can be seen, and the display portion 71 through the transparent synthetic resin 8 in the middle. , 72 appear to be raised, and it is possible to give a sense of quality and novelty to the design. In particular, by increasing the thickness of the adhesive portion 4 for blocking, the non-adhesive portion 5
By forming a sufficient space between the transparent plate 6 and the reflecting material 3, a three-dimensional effect can be emphasized. However, it is also possible to implement in such a manner that a large space is not formed between the transparent plate 6 and the reflecting material 3 in the non-adhered portion 5. That is, when a resin is flowed on the surface of the reflecting material 3 or when an adhesive or an adhesive is applied, the reflecting material 3 is covered with the resin or the like without gaps.
Although the reflection function is lost, the transparent plate 6
Is simply placed and the periphery thereof is bonded, at first glance, even if it seems that there is no space, there is a space even if it is extremely small due to minute unevenness and the like. Especially,
In the case of the open type reflector 3, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the reflective bead 32 of the reflector 3 and the transparent plate 6 are only in point contact, and most of them are not in contact. Since the space 33 is formed, the reflection function is not substantially lost. The reflective material 3 has a gray surface,
There are various types such as blue and red, and a variety of designs can be provided by combining colors with the display units 71 and 72. The transparent synthetic resin 8 and the transparent plate 6 do not need to be completely colorless and transparent, and may be slightly colored such as translucent or may have translucency. , The design can be more abundant.

With respect to reflection, light reaching the reflector 3 from the transparent synthetic resin 8, the transparent plate 6, and the non-adhesive portion 5 is retroreflected by the reflector 3, and the transparent plate 6 and the transparent composite from the non-adhesive portion 5. The light is reflected outside through the resin 8. At this time, since the non-adhesive portion 5 is formed, the open type reflector 3
Although the surface is not protected by the synthetic resin film and the reflection with relatively high brightness is possible, even if the reflection is impaired by the adhesion of the resin or the like to the surface, the recursion It is exhibited without impairing the reflection performance,
It can reflect strong light.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the inner diameter of the opening recess 14 is changed from the bottom to the upper end of the opening 13. As you go, you can make it gradually smaller. Also, as shown in FIG. 5B, the transparent synthetic resin 8 is poured into the opening recess 14 slightly below the opening 13 and the upper end of the peripheral wall of the opening recess is covered with an inverted U-shaped cap 91 and fixed. You may make it. This cap 91
This may be performed before the transparent synthetic resin 8 is poured.
As shown in (C), before pouring the transparent synthetic resin 8 into the opening concave portion, the upper end of the peripheral wall of the opening concave portion is covered with an inverted U-shaped cap 91 and fixed. The resin 8 may be solidified. Further, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6A, a ridge 92 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the opening concave portion, and a protrusion 93 may be provided as shown in FIG. All of these prevent the transparent synthetic resin 8 from coming off even when used for a long period of time. For the same purpose, fine irregularities may be formed on at least the inner peripheral surface of the opening concave portion 14 by honing or blasting to prevent the transparent synthetic resin 8 from coming off.

FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment. In this embodiment, the peripheral portion of the transparent plate 6 is not adhered to the reflecting material 3 but is adhered to the inner wall surface of the opening recess 14. , And an adhesive portion 4 for blocking is formed. The shape of the inner wall surface of the opening concave portion 14 can be freely designed as long as it can be adhered to the entire periphery of the peripheral portion of the transparent plate 6 and can be shielded from the outside, but in this embodiment, In order to secure a sufficient bonding area, a step 10a is provided at the peripheral portion of the bottom of the opening recess 14 and the upper surface of the step 10a is bonded to the lower surface of the entire periphery of the transparent plate 6 by bonding. , And an adhesive portion 4 for blocking. Reflective material 3
Is fixed to the bottom surface 10b inside the step portion 10a by bonding or the like. The reflector 3 and the transparent plate 6 are not adhered, and the whole including the center of the reflector becomes the non-adhered portion 5 to the transparent plate. Note that, in addition to the bonding between the step portion 10a and the transparent plate 6, the peripheral portion of the reflective material 3 and the periphery of the transparent plate 6 may be bonded. The transparent synthetic resin 8 is poured in the same manner as in each of the above-described embodiments. In order to prevent the resin from coming off, as described above, the structure shown in FIGS.
Honing and blasting may be used together.

FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment. In this example, the thickness of the transparent plate 6 is larger than that of each of the above embodiments. That is, as the transparent plate 6, an acrylic plate or a vinyl chloride plate having a thickness substantially equal to the depth of the opening concave portion 14 is adopted, and the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral wall surface of the opening concave portion 14 are adhered to each other for blocking. This is part 4. In this case, it is not necessary to pour the transparent synthetic resin. However, the transparent synthetic resin may be applied to the upper end of the transparent plate 6 and the opening concave portion 14 by pouring or applying the same.

In each embodiment, the transparent plate 6
Is a flat plate, but it can be changed to a dish-shaped plate having a rising wall surface on the outer peripheral portion of the transparent plate 6 or the like. Although the transparent synthetic resin 8 is directly poured into the opening recess 14, the height of the raised wall surface of the outer peripheral portion of the transparent plate 6 is set to be approximately the same as that of the opening recess 14, and the transparent The transparent plate 6 and the opening recesses 14 can be solidified by pouring a transparent synthetic resin 8 into the opening.
The inner wall surface may be bonded. However, in this case, since the transparent synthetic resin 8 and the wall surface of the opening concave portion 14 cannot be in close contact with each other, the sealing property is improved by pouring the transparent synthetic resin 8 as compared with the previous embodiments. Will be inferior. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the buttons are exemplified, but the present invention can be implemented by changing to various small items such as a belt buckle, a broach, a tie pin, a key holder, an emblem, and a badge. In this case, in the example of the button, the entire button is the reflector mounting portion, but the entire button is not necessarily required to be the reflector mounting portion, and it is sufficient if a part of the accessory is the reflector mounting portion. The reflector mounting portion may be formed separately from the accessory, for example, as a bottomed cylindrical body made of metal, and may be fixed to the accessory by an adhesive, brazing, or the like. In the case of an emblem or the like, one emblem may be provided with a plurality of reflector mounting portions in accordance with the overall pattern.

[0025]

Next, in order to further enhance the understanding of the present invention,
Examples will be described together with comparative examples. Example 1 is the same as the first embodiment described above, except that an MR type manufactured by Unitika Spark Light Co., Ltd. was used as the reflector 3.
The diameter is 19 mm. The thickness of the transparent synthetic resin 8 was 0.8 mm, and the surface was flat. The second embodiment uses the MR type of Unitika Sparklight Co., Ltd. as the reflector 3 in the first embodiment, and has a diameter of 19 mm, which is the same as the first embodiment. However, the difference from the first embodiment is that the center of the transparent synthetic resin 8 is raised as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C. By this swelling, the transparent synthetic resin 8
Has a maximum thickness of 1.3 mm. In each of the examples, an acrylic film having a thickness of 0.1 mm was used for the transparent plate 3. Since the display section 72 having a width of 1 mm is provided along the outer periphery of the transparent plate 3 as an outline, the effective reflection surface has a diameter of 17 mm.

The transparent synthetic resin 8 of an epoxy resin is directly flowed. In Comparative Example 1, the surface of the transparent synthetic resin 8 was flat, and in Comparative Example 2, the center of the transparent synthetic resin 8 was raised. The conditions of each numerical value and the like are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. However, since the transparent plate 3 is not used, there is no display unit 72, and the effective reflection surface is a circle having a diameter of 19 mm.

Table 1 shows the results of measuring the reflection performance of each of the examples and comparative examples. This measurement was performed by changing the conditions of the observation angle α and the incident angle β.
As shown in FIG. 9, the headlight a1 of the car and the driver's face a2 are created by the difference between the vertical position and 1
The observation angle α of 2 ′ is an angle generated when the distance between the pedestrian with the reflection button 1 and the passenger car is 15 m. The observation angle α of 20 ′ is an angle generated when the distance between the pedestrian to whom the reflection button 1 is attached and the light van is 15 m. The incident angle β is based on the assumption that the reflection plate has an angle with respect to the incident light when the pedestrian or the like is inclined or the button body 1 is inclined. °, 30 °, and 40 ° were set. In FIG. 9, the observation angle α and the incident angle β
, And the values shown do not match the above numerical values. The measurement results under each condition are shown in Table 1. The measurement is based on JISZ9117. According to the standard, in the case of a road sign, the reflective material is white, the observation angle is 12 ', and the incident angle is 5 °. At 70 cd / l
If x / m ² , it is recognized as a first class.
