Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a radiator grill.

In radiator grilles, chromium dimming is preferred for the peripheral areas and the tips of the crosspieces, and construction methods such as wet plating, sputtering, and hot stamping are generally used.

Wet plating has excellent durability such as abrasion resistance and weather resistance, but is gradually becoming less popular due to its high cost and poor adhesion of the paint film if masking paint is applied over the plating.

On the other hand, sputtering and hot stamping are inexpensive and have sufficient performance for masking coating on bright surfaces, and are widely used for garnishes and marks. However, it has poor abrasion resistance and is not suitable for use in areas where it is frequently exposed to car washes, waxing, etc., or mild impact.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and simultaneously satisfy the brightness treatment method for parts that are subject to harsh environmental conditions and parts that are not subject to severe environmental conditions but require masking coating for some design purposes. There is a radiator grill to provide.

The radiator grill of the present invention is constructed by combining a wet chrome plated part and a chrome sputtered or chrome foil hot stamped part to achieve the above object.

An embodiment of the radiator grill according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 is a grill outer molded product with wet chrome plating, 2 is a grill inner molded product with chrome sputtering and black masking painted on the tip of the rear crosspiece, 2a is the sputtering part, 2b is the masking painted part, 3 is the outer part. This is the fitting part of the inner and inner parts. That is, the radiator grille is divided into a grill outer 1 with wet chrome plating and a grill inner 2 with chrome sputtering, and the grill outer 1 is wet-plated due to the harsh usage environment (it is easy to come into contact with other objects during car washing, etc.). The inner grille was sputtered due to cost and the need for masking paint.

Note that the grill inner 2 may be constructed using a hot stamping method instead of sputtering. However, since the hot stamping method cannot produce three-dimensional shapes, the brightness range is limited. In this embodiment, since the tip of the crosspiece is a considerably deep drawn part, sputtering is appropriate.

As mentioned above, the radiator grill according to the present invention is divided into a grill outer coated with wet chrome plating and a grill inner coated with chrome sputtering or hot stamping, and is constructed by combining the two, so it can withstand harsh usage environments and is cost effective. ,
It is possible to provide a radiator grille that also satisfies the requirements for masking paint.
