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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

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.

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

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

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

15. 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.
