Publication number: 20220105667Abstract: The present invention achieves cost reduction by simplifying the manufacturing process for a film-formed molded product provided with a metal coating film capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves therethrough. This method for manufacturing a film-formed molded product which includes a molded product and a metal coating film covering the molded product comprises: forming the molded product between a movable mold and a fixed mold; and then forming the metal coating film which covers the molded product by a film-forming part of a second mold without taking the molded product out from between the movable mold and the fixed mold. The metal coating film is capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves therethrough as a result of generation of cracks after being formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: MITSUBA CorporationInventors: Takao UMEZAWA, Hitoshi KONUMA, Mitsunori SATO

Patent number: 10814837Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress variations in shape of flow channels to have an enlarged flow channel. When an attachment main body 51 of a lid member 50 is attached to a recessed attachment part 46 of a main body member 40, a pair of flange parts 52 provided to the lid member 50 abuts on the main body member 40. Therefore, the insertion amount of the attachment main body 51 into the recessed attachment part 46 in each product can be maintained approximately constant while enlarging a main channel MC and a pair of sub channels SS1 and SS2, which are formed by the main body member 40 and the lid member 50, and variations in shape of these flow channels can be reliably suppress.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Takao Umezawa, Atsushi Otani, Hiroshi Yokoyama

Patent number: 7855494Abstract: An electric connection part between a bulb and a terminal is masked without using a special masking material when a lamp unit is produced through a primary injection step of molding a lamp main body and a lens part while using a movable mold and a fixed mold, a film forming step of covering the lamp main body with a film, and a secondary injection step of uniting the lamp main body and the lens part together with a resinous material. The bulb is incorporated through a step set between the primary injection step and the film forming step. In the state in which the bulb is incorporated in the lamp main body, the surface of the top of the bulb is covered with a film, and a part hidden by the shadow of the film is masked, and hence electric insulation properties are secured.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventor: Takao Umezawa

Patent number: 7740783Abstract: When forming a film on a work, such as a lamp holder, the work is not set in a film-forming chamber as in the prior art, but a film is formed thereon by using a mold, thereby simplifying the film formation work. A movable mold is matched to a fixed mold in a state where a vacuum deposition apparatus, the film-forming element, is provided in the fixed mold and the work is supported in the movable mold. Next, film formation is carried out with the film-forming space in a vacuum state. Thereafter, the movable mold is opened, wherein the film formation work on the work surface using molds can be carried out with a series of processes.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Mitsuba CorporationInventors: Motosuke Ishizawa, Takao Umezawa

Publication number: 20080138561Abstract: When a lamp unit is formed by applying a resinous material onto an abutting part between a lamp main body and a lens part through a secondary injection process, a mold receiving portion that is shaped like a concave groove and that is entered by a mold face is formed inside an abutting portion of the lamp main body so as to receive an injection force generated when secondary injection is performed. When the lamp main body is pushed out with the abutting portion and is extracted alone, the groove of the mold receiving portion is prevented from being expanded and deformed by receiving a load generated when pushed out. A reinforcing rib with which the mold receiving portion is filled is formed at a location that corresponds to a part of the mold receiving portion pushed out by a push-out member.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: OSHIMA ELECTRIC WORKS CO., LTD.Inventor: Takao Umezawa
