  • Patent number: 8900689
    Abstract: A method for producing a resin plated product includes: a molding step of forming a resin molded product as a resin molded product to be plated that includes integrally a main body part with a form of a molding and a sacrifice part arranged in the vicinity of an edge part not to come into contact with the edge part; an electro-less plating step of applying an electro-less plating process to the resin molded product, an electroplating step of immersing the resin molded product in an electroplating bath provided with an anode electrode, applying an anode voltage to the anode electrode and applying a cathode voltage to the resin molded product to carry out an electroplating process; and a removing step of removing the sacrifice part from the resin molded product. The sacrifice part is preferably extended from a non-designed surface of the main body part.

  • Patent number: 8092666
    Abstract: A bumper molding is fabricated by disposing segmented anodes 31 and 32 on surfaces 22 and 24 of a base material 20, which are to be plated, and performing electroplating so as to form metal films on the surfaces 22 and 24, respectively. The curvature of a surface of a concave portion, which is formed in each part of the surfaces 22 and 24 so that the surface of the concave portion is away from the segmented anodes 31 and 32, respectively, is larger than those of other portions at a part serving as a border between the second plated surface 22 and the fourth plated surface 24. Accordingly, the distance from the part serving as the border between the second plated surface 22 and the fourth plated surface 24 to a metal case 50a corresponding to this part is set so as to be shorter than those from each of the other parts to the metal cases 50a and 50b respectively corresponding to the segmented anodes 31 and 32.
