EMBODIMENT FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Now, the present invention is explained by means of the examples given below with referring to the appended drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 show the resin-molded article 10 prepared according to various examples of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an example of the resin-molded article 10 which is prepared by sticking a resin surface skin film, for example a transparent resin film 3 via the adhering layer 2 to the upper surface of the molded article 1, which is prepared by mixing a fibrous base material comprising carbon fibers, glass fibers or the complex thereof to a binding agent, followed by molding the mixture. Although the surface of the molded article 1 mixed with the fibrous base material becomes irregular due to the fibrous base material, smooth surface can be attained by sticking the resin film 3 to the irregular surface. Therefore, the molded article 1 can be used for automotive interior and exterior trim parts such as a bumper without applying painting and surface polishing. Note that the molded article prepared by mixing and subsequently molding the fibrous base material and a resin is lightweight and excellent in strength, rigidness and mass-productivity.

As the manner for molding the fibrous base material, though various manners as exemplified below can be employed, it should not be limited to those manners given below. The molding manner includes molding the fibrous base material following to mixing a binding agent as a binder to the fibrous base material, molding after weaving or twisting the fibrous base material, molding by covering the fibrous base member formed by weaving the fibrous material with a binding agent, molding by covering the fibrous base member formed by twisting the fibrous material with a binding agent, molding by forming the fibrous material by employing the above-described manner and apply foundation painting to the surface, and molding by forming the fibrous material by employing the above-described manner and apply foundation painting to the surface and followed by sanding thereof. While, as the resin surface skin film, various types of synthetic resin sheets being capable of sticking to the fibrous base member may be employed. As an example, if acryl material is used for the transparent resin film 3, the resulted film may be resistant to weather and ultraviolet rays, and the film made of either PC or ABS material may acquire better moldability and productivity. Therefore, the material to be used can be appropriately selected depending on the application. For the adhering layer, an acrylic adhesive is the preferred. The thickness t of the resin surface skin film (transparent resin film 3) containing an adhering layer is preferably in a range of from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, however, it is arbitrary determined depending on the application such as place to be used of the molded article. The structures of the molded article 1, the adhering layer 2 and the resin surface skin film 3 as explained in the following are same as those described above, respectively. Note that the employable material examples to be used for the resin surface skin film 3, all materials respectively made of acryl, PC, ABS, PET, vinyl chloride, polyurethane and polypropylene may be given. While, for the binding agent, materials respectively made of ABS, polycarbonate, acryl and nylon are employable. However, the materials being employable for the resin surface skin member is not limited to those described above, any resin sheet that can stick to the molded article in the steps described latter and any material that can be molded with the fibrous material may be employed for the resin surface skin member and the binding agent, respectively.

With regard to the resin-molded article 10 according to the example shown in FIG. 2, a decorative layer 4 with letters, figures, etc. is formed by means of a printing means to the surface of the molded article 1 from the mixture of a fibrous base material and a resin material, an adhering layer 2 is attached to the surface of the molded article 1 including the decorative layer 4, and further a transparent film 3 is stuck to the upper side of the adhering layer 2. By structuring the adhering layer 2 with an acryl adhesive, the decorative layer 4 of the molded article will be visible from the outer side of the transparent film 3.

With regard to the resin-molded article 10 according to the example shown in FIG. 3, the transparent film 3 is stuck to the lower adhering layer 2 in such a state that the adhering layer 2 is attached to the upper side of the molded article 1 and the decorative layer 4 is intervened between the adhesive layer 2 and the transparent film 3. Similarly to the example shown in FIG. 2, the irregular surface of the molded article 1 is smoothed with the transparent film 3 and the decorative layer 4 will be visible from the outer side of the transparent film 3.

In respect of the resin-molded article 10 shown in FIG. 4, etching 5 is applied to the underside of the resin film and the etched underside is stuck to the upper side of the molded article 1 via the adhering layer 2. By using a transparent film for the resin film and forming the etching in a desired pattern, the etching will be visible as a decorated plane from the outer side of the transparent film 3. Furthermore, binding with the adhering layer 2 is further secured by virtue of the etching and the resin-molded article 10 with rigid surface property can be attained.

With referring to FIGS. 5 to 7, the process and apparatus for manufacturing resin-molded articles according to the present invention will now be explained. Referring to FIG. 5, the apparatus for manufacturing resin-molded articles 20 according to an example of the present invention is provided with a lower chamber box 21 and an upper chamber box 22 both of those which can be separated relative to the other in the vertical direction. Inside the lower chamber box 21, a tray 23 on which the molded base 1 (shown with a virtual line) made of a fibrous material comprising carbon fibers, glass fibers or the complex thereof is placed is arranged in a vertically-movable fashion. Specifically, a vertically-movable driving unit 24 is provided to the underside of the lower chamber box 21, an actuating rod 24a of the driving unit 24 is inserted into the lower chamber box 21 and a supporting table 25 of the tray 23 is connected to the actuating rod 24a. To the lower chamber box 21, a vacuum suction unit, for example a vacuum tank 26 is connected. The vacuum tank 26 is structured such that it communicates with the upper chamber box 22 via the switching valve 27. Yet, a film holding frame 28 is provided to the upper end of the lower chamber box 21, a resin surface skin film 29 comprising a resin film (a transparent film) as described in FIGS. 1 to 4, an adhering layer, a decorative layer, etc. is exchangeably attached to the holding frame 28, and the inside of the boxes are kept in sealed condition in such a state that the resin surface skin film 29 is attached to the opening located at the upper end of the lower chamber box 21.

Inside the upper chamber box 22 that ascends and descends relative to the lower chamber box 21, a heater 30 is arranged at the upper position. A vertically-moving driving unit 31 is provided to the upper position of the upper chamber box 22, and the actuating rod 31a thereof is connected to the upper side of the upper chamber box 22. Besides, a pressuring apparatus, e.g. a pneumatic tank 32, for rendering the inside of the upper chamber box 22 to be in a pressurized state is connected to said upper chamber box 22 via the switching valve 27. In such a state that the upper chamber box 22 is lowered and closely contacted to the lower chamber box 21 being attached with the resin surface skin film 29, both insides of the upper and lower chamber boxes 22, 21 are kept in a sealed condition.

Taking the manufacturing apparatus for the resin-molded articles configured as described above as an example, the process for manufacturing the resin-molded articles according to the present invention will now be explained with referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. At first, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the upper chamber box 22 is ascended by the driving unit 31 to thereby place a target molded article 1, that has been prepared by mixing and subsequent molding of the fibrous base material, on a tray 23 provided inside the lower chamber box 21, and at the same time, a desired resin surface skin film 29 is set to the holding frame 28 of the resin surface skin film at the upper end of the lower chamber box. At this moment, the inside of the lower chamber box 21 is in a sealed condition. For the resin surface skin film 29, any one of the surface skin films, the one consisted of a transparent film and an adhering layer, the one consisted of a transparent film, a decorative layer and an adhering layer, and the one consisted of a transparent film, the underside of which being etched, and an adhering layer is selected corresponding to the type and application of the article. Note that the adhering layer of the resin surface skin film 29 is set downward, namely to the holding frame 28 so as to face off against the molded article 1 placed on the tray 23.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the upper chamber box 22 is descended by the driving unit 31 so as to closely contact to the lower chamber box 21, and as shown in FIG. 6(c), by manipulating the switching valve 27, the insides of both upper and lower chamber boxes 22, 21 is vacuum sucked by the vacuum suction unit (vacuum tank 26) so as to be in a negatively-pressurized condition. At the same time, a heater 30 is biased to heat the resin surface skin film 29 in the box to soften the surface skin film. Hanging down of the resin surface skin film 29 somewhat toward the tray 23 side in FIG. 6(c) indicates that the surface skin film has been softened due to heating with the heater 30.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6(d), the molded article 1 on the tray 23 is ascended by the driving unit 24 and is pressed against the softened resin surface skin film 29 so that the resin surface skin film 29 is stuck to the molded article 1.

Subsequently, the inside of the upper chamber box 22 is shifted from the negative pressurized state to either opened-to-air state or pneumatic state while actuating the heater 30 inside the upper chamber box 22 to thereby accelerate the adhesion of the resin surface skin film 29 to the surface of the molded article. FIG. 6(e) shows the state that the inside of the upper chamber box 22 is opened to air, and FIG. 6(f) shows the state that the inside of the upper chamber box 22 has been in a pneumatic condition by means of a pneumatic apparatus and the pneumatic tank 32. Although either state may be employed to the manufacturing process, the pneumatic addition configuration as shown in FIG. 6(f) must be employed when the objective article requires more strong sticking property. Following thereto, the pneumatic state and the vacuum suction are released as shown in FIG. 7(a) and the upper chamber box 22 is ascended to remove the resin-molded article being stuck with the surface skin film 29 from the tray 23. Since the peripheral portion of the resin surface skin film 29 protrude slightly from the molded article 1 in this state, the portion of the resin surface skin film 29 that protrudes from the molded article 1 is cut by trimming with a cutter 33 as shown in FIG. 7(b) so that the resin-molded article 10 can be finished. Note that no protrusion of the resin surface skin film from the molded article has been found, trimming work as shown in FIG. 7(b) may be omitted.

The resin-molded article to which surface processing having been applied according to the present invention may be used for various applications because it has advantages of high strength and rigidness, light weight, highly resistant to weather and ultraviolet rays, smoothed surface irregularity and beautiful appearance. FIG. 8 shows an example of applying the resin-molded article to an automotive bumper 41 and a rear holding member 42a to be used for a sideview mirror 42. The resin-molded article according to the present invention can be simply replaced with existing automotive parts and exert performance in the strength, etc., and it can be accepted further for automotive parts as a material capable of exerting sufficient beauty. Moreover, the molded articles according to the present invention can also be applied to automotive interior trims and various automotive parts, such as a dashboard in front of a driver seat and a handle. Yet, the molded articles according to the present invention can further be applied to e.g. fishing poles, golf gear, rackets for ball game, climbing gear, or care tools such as sticks, powered suits and walking training equipments. FIG. 9 is an example to apply the resin-molded articles 10 according to the present invention to a golf shaft 50, and it is possible to provide a golf shaft that can satisfy various performance having been required by the existing golf shafts and is superior in the beautiful appearance. The application of the resin-molded articles 10 according to the present invention is not limited to the two examples described above and is applicable to various daily commodity and structural parts over the wide-range.
