Abstract
A vehicle outer plate panel includes: a transparent resin plate that is formed into a prescribed shape through pressure molding and is attached to a vehicle so as to constitute an outer wall of a body; and a decorative layer that is formed on at least a part of the transparent resin plate through screen printing such that the transparent resin plate is decorated therewith. A method of producing an vehicle outer plate panel is also disclosed.
Claims10
A vehicle outer plate panel comprising:
- a transparent resin plate that is formed into a prescribed shape through pressure molding and is attached to a vehicle so as to constitute an outer wall of a body;
- a decorative layer that is formed on at least a part of the transparent resin plate by screen printing such that the transparent resin plate is decorated therewith;
- a pedestal member that is provided on a back-surface side of the transparent resin plate;
- and
- an on-vehicle part that is fixed via the pedestal member to the back-surface side of the transparent resin plate,
- wherein the pedestal member is curved along the transparent resin plate while a back surface of the pedestal member has a flat seat surface.
A vehicle outer plate panel comprising:
- a transparent resin plate that is formed into a prescribed shape by pressure molding and is attached to a vehicle so as to constitute an outer wall of a body;
- and
- decorative layers that are formed on at least a part of the transparent resin plate by screen printing such that the transparent resin plate is decorated therewith,
- wherein the transparent resin plate has a recessed portion that extends correspondingly to a boundary line between the decorative layers.
A vehicle outer plate panel comprising:
- a transparent resin plate that is formed into a prescribed shape by pressure molding and is attached to a vehicle so as to constitute an outer wall of a body;
- and
- a decorative layer that is formed on at least a part of the transparent resin plate by screen printing such that the transparent resin plate is decorated therewith,
- wherein the transparent resin plate has a light-transmissive transparent part, and
- the transparent part has a refractive sheet for causing penetrating light to be refracted, and
- a part of the decorative layer formed on the transparent part has a half mirror design and a relatively high light transmittance.
A method of producing a vehicle outer plate panel that is attached to a vehicle and constitutes an outer wall of a body, the method comprising:
- a decorative layer-forming step of forming a decorative layer on a transparent, flat, transparent resin plate by screen printing;
- a pressure molding step of molding the transparent resin plate having the decorative layer into a prescribed shape by pressure molding;
- before the pressure molding step, a pedestal member-fixing step of fixing a pedestal member on a back-surface side of the transparent resin plate;
- and
- after the pressure molding step, a cutting step of cutting the transparent resin plate and the pedestal member.
