Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply a variety of decoration onto an ornament by installing and arranging the plate-shaped ornament in a transparent region so that the inside can be seen through a thick finisher body, thus obtaining the deep color tone. CONSTITUTION:A finisher body 10 is formed from transparent synthetic resin into a box form whose back surface is opened. A frame-shaped rib 11 is formed in projection onto the inner surface side, and in a prescribed region surrounded by the frame-shaped rib 11, the inside can be seen through the thick finisher body 10 from the outer surface side. As the ornament installed inside, plate- shaped articles having the prescribed patterns and marks printed on one-side surface of an aluminum plate are used.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a vehicle finisher that includes an ornament displaying the type of vehicle, etc. at a desired location on the finisher body.

Conventional technology.

Conventionally, in a finisher that is attached to the rear of a vehicle, in order to attach an ornament to an appropriate location on the finisher body 1, a horizontally long concave receiving groove is formed on the outer surface of the finisher body 1, and the ornament is placed inside on both sides, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. It is fixed with adhesive tape, and if the finisher body l is made of transparent synthetic resin, the ornament 2 is drawn by hot stamping almost on the inner surface and covered with a coating layer 3 of colored paint. It is usually configured as an attached item.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, these finishers are not yet fully satisfactory in terms of decorativeness because the ornaments lack depth in color tone.

Means for Solving the Problems In the vehicle finisher according to the present invention, the finisher body is formed by molding a transparent synthetic resin with an open back surface, and the inner surface of the finisher body except for a desired area is painted with colored paint. Forms a membrane layer.

A plate-shaped ornament is mounted and arranged in the transparent area so that it can be visually seen through the thickness of the finisher body.

Function: With this vehicle finisher, other ornaments can be seen through the thick part of the finisher body made of transparent synthetic resin, making it more decorative by increasing the depth of the color tone. .

An example will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this vehicle finisher, as shown in FIG. 1, a finisher main body 10 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin such as polycarbonate resin or methyl methacrylic resin with an open back surface. A frame-shaped rib 11 is protrudingly molded on the inner surface thereof, and is formed to reinforce the finisher main body 10 and to receive and fix the ornament 12 inside. The inner surface of the frame-shaped rib 11 extending from its tip to the periphery of the finisher body 10 is coated with a colored paint containing fine metal powder as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 after pretreatment such as annealing and degreasing. The finisher body 10 is shaped to form a layer 13, and the inside of the predetermined area surrounded by the frame-like ribs 11 can be seen through the thickness of the finisher body 10 from the outer surface side. The ornament 12 to be attached inside the plate may be, for example, a plate-shaped piece made of an aluminum plate with a predetermined pattern or symbol printed on one side, or a pattern or symbol etc. stamped out and colored. In addition, in this installation, by providing a catch seat 14 with a relatively small rise inside the frame-shaped rib 11 and maintaining a distance between it and the finisher body 10, it is possible to see through the ornament 12 with further color depth. In this case, it is preferable to form the above-mentioned coating layer 13 on the tip end surface of the seat 14. It is formed of a relatively small material that allows some space between it and the periphery of the material, and is attached by fixing the border with an adhesive or a sealant 15 exhibiting rubber elasticity filled in the space. As the sealant, it is preferable to use a liquid silicone-based or urethane-based 9 synthetic rubber-based material that exhibits rubber-like elasticity when it absorbs moisture in the atmosphere and hardens. By using a similar color to the coating layer 13 formed on the inner surface of the IO, even if it protrudes to the surface of the ornament 12 to some extent, it will not be noticeable. To attach it, as shown in FIG. 3, a double-sided adhesive tape 16 made of a soft and highly flexible material is pasted between the inner surface of the frame-shaped rib 11 and the periphery of the ornament 12 for temporary fixation, and then adhesive is applied. Alternatively, a sealant 15 can also be applied.

Furthermore, when using a sealant, the adhesion strength of the sealant can be increased by pre-treating each surface with a primer.

In addition, if the area in which the coating film layer 13 is formed extends slightly beyond the frame-shaped rib 11 to the catch seat 14, the adhesive or sealant 15 can be applied to the gap between the frame-shaped rib 11 and the ornament 12. Even if it passes through and protrudes to the surface side, it will not be visible from the outer surface side of the finisher main body 10, so any color tone can be used.

In the vehicle finisher configured in this way, the ornament (12) can be visually seen through the thickness of the finisher body 1o on which the colored coating layer 13 is not formed, and it can be seen directly on the inner surface of the finisher body 1°. Since it is formed of a different material without being depicted in a similar manner, in combination with the thickness of the finisher main body 10, it is possible to make the color tone appear deeper. Further, when using a sealant having rubber elasticity to fix the ornament 12, it is possible for the sealant to expand and contract as the finisher body 10 expands and contracts, so this sealant absorbs the expansion and contraction of the finisher body 10. By attaching the ornament 12 in an airtight manner, it becomes possible to securely hold the ornament 12 so that it will not be partially peeled off or detached.

As described above, according to the vehicle finisher according to the present invention, it is possible to attach another ornament to the inner surface of the finisher body to create depth in color tone, and it is possible to decorate the ornament in a variety of ways. This allows it to be formed into something highly decorative.
