## Abstract

A plate-like body with a resin frame attached thereto for a vehicle includes two main surfaces and an end part connecting the two main surfaces, and a resin frame integrally molded to a peripheral edge area of the plate-like body; the resin frame including a main part having a plurality of inner surfaces facing the two main surfaces and the end part, and a plurality of projections obliquely projecting from the main part in a direction opposite to the plate-like body; and the resin frame having no adhesive between the peripheral edge area and an inner surface close to the projections.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A resin-frame-attached plate for a vehicle, comprising:
a plate having two main surfaces and an end part connecting the two main surfaces;
a resin frame integrally molded to a peripheral edge area of the plate; and
an adhesive disposed between the plate and the resin frame,
wherein:
one of the two main surfaces is a car-exterior side surface which is positioned at a car-exterior side when the plate is mounted to an opening of a vehicle;
the resin frame comprises:
a main part having a plurality of inner surfaces facing the two main surfaces and the end part; and
a plurality of projections obliquely projecting from the main part in a direction opposite to the plate; and
the adhesive is disposed only between the peripheral edge area of the car-exterior side surface and the inner surface of the resin frame which faces the peripheral edge area of the car-exterior side surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 1, wherein each of the projections is curved as a whole or has a bent leading edge.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 1, wherein at least two of the projections project toward a car-interior side when the plate is mounted to an opening of a vehicle.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 1, further comprising a drain hole formed in the resin frame to drain out water entering the resin frame when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 1, wherein the adhesives is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane-based adhesive, a polyester-based adhesive, a polyamide-based adhesive, a phenol-based adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, an epoxy-based adhesive, a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive, and a rubber-based adhesive.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 1, wherein at least two of the projections project toward a car-interior side and only one projection projects toward the car-exterior side, when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 2, wherein the adhesives is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane-based adhesive, a polyester-based adhesive, a polyamide-based adhesive, a phenol-based adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, an epoxy-based adhesive, a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive, and a rubber-based adhesive.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The resin-frame-attached plate according to claim 2, wherein at least two of the projections project toward a car-interior side and only one projection projects toward the car-exterior side, when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.

### Claim 9

The method of producing a resin-frame-attached plate for a vehicle, the method comprising:
applying an adhesive only to a peripheral edge area of a car-exterior side surface of a plate, the car-exterior side surface being one of two main surfaces of the plate which is positioned at a car-exterior side when the plate is mounted to an opening of the vehicle; and
molding a resin to the peripheral edge area of the plate to form a resin frame integrally molded to the peripheral edge area of the plate,
wherein the resin frame comprises:
a main part having a plurality of inner surfaces facing the two main surfaces and an end part connecting the two main surfaces of the plate; and
a plurality of projections obliquely projecting from the main part in a direction opposite to the plate.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein each of the projections is curved as a whole or has a bent leading edge.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein at least two of the projections project toward a car-interior side when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein the resin frame further comprises a drain hole formed in the resin frame to drain out water entering the resin frame when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein the adhesives is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane-based adhesive, a polyester-based adhesive, a polyamide-based adhesive, a phenol-based adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, an epoxy-based adhesive, a cyanoacrylate-based adhesive, and a rubber-based adhesive.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein the adhesive is applied as a solution or an emulsion of the adhesive.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein at least two of the projections project toward a car-interior side and only one projection projects toward the car-exterior side, when the plate is mounted to the opening of the vehicle.
