  • Publication number: 20220017173
    Abstract: A decorative molded article includes a resin-made base body and a resin-made skin body. The base body includes a skeleton body spread in a mesh pattern along a matching surface, and singly has rigidity lower than intended rigidity. The skin body includes a colored printed surface. The skin body is fixed to the base body so as to cover the matching surface. The skin body secures the intended rigidity in cooperation with the base body. The thus-provided decorative molded article includes the decorative sheet with a function of reinforcing rigidity, and thereby enables the decorative sheet to contribute to a decrease in resin amount.

  • Patent number: 8084080
    Abstract: A plasma processing is performed by providing a first and a second electrodes to be relatively parallelly movable, disposing an object to be processed on the second electrode so as to face the first electrode and providing a blocking member to both end portions of the second electrode, so that a plasma processing space is blocked by the blocking member when the first and second electrodes are moved relatively with each other. A voltage is applied to both the first and the second electrodes and a process gas is introduced into the plasma processing space formed between the first and second electrodes, and the plasma is irradiated to the object. The blocking member is provided so as to extend from the second electrode to the first electrode, and an upper surface of the blocking member is raised higher than a surface level of the object to be processed.
