  • Patent number: 8722177
    Abstract: In a transfer mold body, a display portion is formed from a crystalline resin and a main body portion is formed from an amorphous resin. Accordingly, a transfer layer is only transferred to the amorphous resin formed main body portion that has good transfer properties for the transfer layer, and the transfer layer is not transferred to the crystalline resin formed display portion that has poor transfer properties for the transfer layer. Accordingly, only the main body portion is decorated by the transfer layer, with the display portion to which the transfer layer is not transferred visibly displayed as the letter. Accordingly, since printing process is not necessary, suppressing an increase in cost of the transfer mold body. Moreover, the position of the letter is determined by two-color molding of the main body portion and the display portion, enabling positional displacement of the letter to be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20140106641
    Abstract: A backspin toy includes a running body including a flywheel, a starting base including a starting unit, and a torque giving unit. The torque giving unit gives torque to travel backward to the flywheel in a state in which the running body is kept on the starting base. The starting unit hits the running body so as to give force to travel forward to the running body in a state in which the torque is given to the flywheel, thereby catapulting the running body forward with backspin. The running body including the flywheel, to which the torque is given, and being catapulted forward, travels backward by the torque given to the flywheel in response to reaching a limit point of the force to travel forward.

  • Publication number: 20140058671
    Abstract: The navigation device includes a detour exploring portion configured to explore a detour to avoid a section in which a traffic hazard occurs using map data at a level lower than a predetermined level when a traffic hazard determining portion determines that the traffic hazard occurs on the guidance route, and a display control portion configured to zoom the detour to match a scale of the detour to a currently designated scale, and synthesize and display the detour on a map image. The navigation device maintains the display of the wide area map and synthesizes and additionally displays a detour, for example, to pass through a road such as a narrow street included in a detailed map on the map image such that the user can receive, at a glance, a detour to easily bypass the section in which a traffic hazard occurs.

  • Publication number: 20130323462
    Abstract: A transfer layer is transferred well to a step portion. In a transfer mold body, a projection and indentation portion is formed to a front face of a bottom wall of a step portion. When covering a transfer film over a base member, air between the transfer film and the step portion is accordingly expelled from between indented portions of the projection and indentation portion and the transfer film at an edge portion of the bottom wall. The transfer film can accordingly be covered over the step portion whilst suppressing air from remaining between the transfer film and the step portion. A transfer layer of the transfer film can accordingly is transferred well to the front face of the step portion.
