(E) A mold clamping step of moving one of the female mold and the male mold (usually a female mold) to the other (usually a male mold) to clamp the mold. (F) An injection molding step of injecting and filling a resin (molten resin) in a flowing state from the male mold side into a cavity formed between the female mold and the male mold to perform injection molding. (G) A mold opening step of separating the female mold and the male mold. (H) A sheet trimming step of separating a portion of the painted sheet to be attached to the injection resin molded body from another portion (excess portion). (I) A take-out step of taking out the laminated product on which the painted sheet is adhesively laminated from both the male and female molds.

合をいう。[0004] The simultaneous execution of a plurality of steps means that a plurality of steps are included in one step. For example, in the mold clamping step (e), the painted sheet is divided into a female type and a male type. If it is not fixed and held between them, the clamping step (b) is performed simultaneously with the mold clamping step, and the painted sheet is used in the injection molding step (f). If the stretching is performed by the heat and pressure of the injected molten resin, this means that the stretching step (d) is performed simultaneously with the injection molding step.

となすことにより絵付けが完了する。[0005] As the painting sheet, either a laminated sheet (laminated sheet) or a transfer sheet is used in accordance with the product type. In the case of a laminated sheet, painting is performed as it is by injection molding. That is, all the layers of the sheet are bonded and integrated with the surface of the injection resin molded body to form a decorative layer. On the other hand, when the painting sheet is a transfer sheet, the support sheet of the painting sheet integrated with the surface of the injection resin molded body is peeled off, and only the transfer layer such as the decoration layer remains on the injection resin molding body side. Then, the painting is completed by forming a decorative layer.

が得られる。On the other hand, in the case where, for example, an integrated convex portion with a hook portion is provided on the back surface side of the decorative component, the painted sheet is in close contact with the female cavity in the stretching step. However, there is a gap between the integrated protrusion having the hook portion and the integral protrusion. However, in a subsequent injection molding process, when a resin in a flowing state such as a molten resin is injected and filled into the molding cavity, the heat and pressure of the resin causes the painted sheet around the integration convex portion to partially expand. When the resin breaks down, the resin also wraps around the gap portion on the back side of the decorative part and clings to the entirety of the integration convex portion, and when the resin in the fluidized state solidifies, the solidified injection resin molded body A laminated product is obtained in which the decorative component is integrated with the decorative component, and the decorative component is positioned and fixed at the specific portion.

The painting sheet S is in close contact with the cavity 13 of the female mold 12, but a gap K is formed between the painting sheet S and the integration convex portion 2a having the hook portion 2b. However, in the subsequent injection molding step, as shown in FIG. 8, when the molten resin (Pa) is injected and filled into the molding cavity 3, the heat and pressure of the resin (Pa) cause the integration. The painted sheet S around the convex portion 1a is partially torn, and the resin (Pa) also wraps around the gap K on the back side of the inscription plate 2 and clings to the entire convex portion 1a for integration. Molten resin (P
When a) is solidified, as shown in FIG. 9, the solidified injection resin molded body Pa and the nameplate 2 are integrated, and the laminated product P in which the nameplate 2 is positioned and fixed at a specific portion is formed. can get.
