  • Patent number: 10807541
    Abstract: In the surface structure of an article 7 according to the present invention, a plurality of convex portions 11 are so disposed on a surface 9 as to have intervals relative to each other and a plurality of fine convex portions 21 having a diameter d and a height h smaller than those of the concave portion 11 are formed on the surface of at least the edge portion 15 of the concave portion 11. By this, when a hand touches the surface 9 of the article 7, the proper number of convex portions 21 abut on a linear object 25 constituting a fingerprint 23 of a hand's finger, to thereby allow the human being to obtain a delicate-and-soft touch feeling.

  • Patent number: 9452553
    Abstract: Disclosed is a surface structure of an article (1) including multiple protrusions (3) on the surface. A height H of the protrusions (3) is equal to or larger than 5 ?m, and equal to or smaller than 32 ?m, as well as at least one of a distance P between each two neighboring protrusions (3) and a distance W between each neighboring two of recesses (5) formed between the protrusions (3) is larger than the height H of the protrusions (3).

  • Patent number: 7685886
    Abstract: A convexo concave amplifying device for exhibiting a convexo concave by amplifying a sense of a convexo concave of an object, comprising a sensing member and an exhibiting member. The sensing member 101 comprises a flexible sheet able to contact with the surface of the object O and to deform along the surface of the object. The exhibiting member 120 that is formed on a surface of the flexible sheet and has a deformation resistance smaller than that of the flexible sheet in at least one of directions orthogonal to a direction of thickness of the flexible sheet. With such construction, the object convexo concave can be amplified and exhibited. A deformation sensing device for sensing a deformation thereof comprising a capsule deformable by stress, a viscous fluid F contained in the capsule, and a relative movement sensing member that is disposed inside of the capsule and senses a relative movement against the viscous fluid.
