[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-154567 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When manufacturing a wide variety of products with different color designs, it is necessary to prepare a decorative film for each color design. Therefore, when applying to a small-lot, high-mix product, the number of types of decorative film to be prepared increases, resulting in low versatility.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to expand the range of application of decorative sheets and increase their versatility. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The method for manufacturing a decorative object includes preparing a common decorative sheet and an additional decorative sheet having an appearance design different from that of the common decorative sheet, covering a first object to be decorated and a second object to be decorated with the common decorative sheet, and changing the presence or absence or type of the additional decorative sheet covering the first object to be decorated and the second object to be decorated.

[0007] The first decorative object is a decorative object comprising an object to be decorated having a surface, a first decorative sheet directly attached to the surface, and a second decorative sheet which is directly attached to the first decorative sheet and has translucency.

[0008] The second decorative object is a decorative object comprising an object to be decorated, a first decorative sheet covering the object to be decorated, a second decorative sheet covering the first decorative sheet and having translucency, and a third decorative sheet covering the second decorative sheet and having translucency. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to this manufacturing method for decorative objects, the common decorative sheet can be used in common regardless of the external design of the decorative object, and the frequency of use of the common decorative sheet can be increased. In addition, by changing the presence or absence of an additional decorative sheet or by changing the type of additional decorative sheet, decorative objects with different external designs can be obtained. This expands the range of application of the common decorative sheet and increases its versatility.

[0010] In addition, the first decorative object can realize a wide variety of appearances by combining the first decorative sheet with the second decorative sheet. At least one of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet can be used to decorate other decorative objects. This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility.

[0011] In addition, the second decorative object can realize a wide variety of appearance expressions by combining each decorative sheet. At least one of the decorative sheets can be used to decorate other decorative objects. This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] {First embodiment} Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a decoration and a decoration according to the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a side view showing an example of a saddle-ride type vehicle 10 equipped with a decoration. A saddle-ride type vehicle is a vehicle in which a driver sits astride a seat when driving. Fig. 1 shows a motorcycle as an example of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10.

[0014] The saddle-type vehicle 10 includes a power engine 11, a frame 12, wheels 13, and a handlebar 14. The frame 12 is a framework that supports each component part of the saddle-type vehicle 10. The power engine 11 is an engine that generates driving force for traveling, and is, for example, an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. At least one wheel 13 is rotationally driven by the driving force of the power engine 11, enabling the saddle-type vehicle 10 to travel. By steering the handlebar 14, the direction of the at least one wheel 13 is changed, and the traveling direction of the saddle-type vehicle 10 is changed.

[0015] In order to meet the tastes of buyers, saddle-type vehicles may be manufactured in multiple types with different exterior designs (decorations and colors) even if the exterior shapes and functions are the same. They may be manufactured in small lots of different types. In the manufacturing process, depending on the order volume and production plans, products with different exterior designs may be manufactured together on one assembly line.

[0016] The decorations 20a, 20b are parts of the saddle riding type vehicle 10 that can be observed by the user, for example, a cover of the saddle riding type vehicle 10. The cover is a part that covers the frame 12 or the power engine 11, etc., and may be a part made of a resin material called a cowl, front cover, side cover, or rear cover. The decoration may also be an exposed part other than the cover, a part made of a metal material, or an exposed part of the vehicle body such as a fuel tank, a part of the frame, or an engine case. Thus, in this embodiment, the decoration is a part that is exposed as an exterior part of the saddle riding type vehicle.

[0017] The material of the object of the decoration is not particularly limited, and the object may be made of metal or resin.

[0018] Fig. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for manufacturing the decoration according to the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a method for manufacturing the decorations 20a and 20b according to the first embodiment.

[0019] The decorative objects 20a, 20b include objects to be decorated 22a, 22b and decorative layers 30a, 30b. In this manufacturing method, two types of decorative objects 20a, 20b having the same shape but different external designs are manufactured.

[0020] The objects to be decorated 22a, 22b are objects to be decorated with a visually recognizable appearance design. As described above, the objects to be decorated 22a, 22b are, for example, plate-shaped resin parts that serve as bases for the covers of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10.

[0021] The decorative layers 30a, 30b are layers that cover the surfaces of the objects 22a, 22b to be decorated. The decorative layers 30a, 30b are layers for decorating the objects 22a, 22b to be decorated. In this embodiment, the decorative layers 30a, 30b include one or more decorative sheets 32a, 42a.

[0022] The decorative objects 20a and 20b may be decorated with different exterior designs. The exterior design is the visually recognizable appearance of an object, and is influenced by the color, pattern, texture, or a combination of these on the surface of the object. The texture can be influenced by differences in transparency, the color of the transparent layer, the thickness of the transparent layer, the presence or absence of a glittering material, gloss, optical deflection, and the like. Different exterior designs only need to be visually recognized as different. Different exterior designs only need to be visually recognizable as different, so even if the colors are the same, they can be understood as different exterior designs due to differences in gloss, transparency, or the sense of depth of the transparent layer.

[0023] In the description of this specification, when the decorative object and the decorative sheet have different appearance designs, they may be distinguished by adding alphabets such as "a", "b", etc. after the numerical code.

[0024] Similarly, objects to be decorated that are decorated with different exterior designs may be distinguished by adding alphabets such as "a", "b", etc., after the numerical code 22. However, the objects to be decorated 22a and the objects to be decorated 22b, etc., have the same shape. The objects to be decorated 22a, 22b, etc. may be collectively referred to as the object to be decorated 22.

[0025] In the first embodiment, an example of manufacturing a decorative object 20a and a decorative object 20b is described. The decorative object 20a includes a decoration object 22a and a decorative layer 30a that covers the decoration object 22a. The decorative object 20a may be understood as a first decoration object, and the decoration object 22a may be understood as the first decoration object. The decorative object 20b includes a decoration object 22b and a decorative layer 30b that covers the decoration object 22b. The decorative object 20b may be understood as a second decoration object, and the decoration object 22b may be understood as the second decoration object. Due to the difference between the decorative layer 30a and the decorative layer 30b, the decorative object 20a and the decorative object 20b are manufactured as objects decorated with different external designs.

[0026] In manufacturing the decorative object 20a and the decorative object 20b, a common decorative sheet 32a and an additional decorative sheet 42a are prepared. The additional decorative sheet 42a has an external design different from that of the common decorative sheet 32a.

[0027] The additional decorative sheet 42a may have a degree of translucency that allows the common decorative sheet 32a to be observed. Therefore, when the additional decorative sheet 42a is attached onto the common decorative sheet 32a, a decoration having an external design that is a combination of the external design of the common decorative sheet 32a and the external design of the additional decorative sheet 42a is applied.

[0028] The additional decorative sheet 42a is preferably not a transparent sheet through which the other side can be seen as is. In other words, the additional decorative sheet 42a is preferably a sheet that brings about some optical change to the design of the base.

[0029] The common decorative sheet 32a is configured by laminating, for example, an adhesive layer 33, a base material 34, and a decorative layer 35 in this order. The base material 34 is, for example, a resin film such as TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer). The adhesive layer 33 is formed on one main surface of the base material 34. The decorative layer 35 is applied to the other main surface of the base material 34. The decorative layer 35 can be formed, for example, by printing on the other main surface of the base material 34. Therefore, compared to a layer formed by spray painting or the like, the decorative layer 35 is easily formed neatly with a uniform thickness and without the inclusion of foreign matter. The decorative layer 35 may have a multi-layer structure.

[0030] Other decorative sheets such as the additional decorative sheet 42a described in this specification are also formed in a laminated structure including an adhesive layer, a base material, and a decorative layer in the same manner as described above.

[0031] An object to be decorated is prepared (see step S1). The object to be decorated may be called an object to be decorated 22a when used to manufacture the object to be decorated 20a, and may be called an object to be decorated 22b when used to manufacture the object to be decorated 20b.

[0032] A decorative sheet is prepared (see step S2), and the decorative sheet is attached to the object to be decorated (see step S3). For example, the object to be decorated 22a and the object to be decorated 22b are each covered with a common decorative sheet 32a. The work of covering the object to be decorated 22a or the object to be decorated 22b with the common decorative sheet 32a is performed, for example, by heating and softening the common decorative sheet 32a and sucking the common decorative sheet 32a toward the surface of the object to be decorated 22a or the object to be decorated 22b with air.

[0033] The common decorative sheet 32a may be directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated 22a or 22b. Here, the decorative sheet being directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated means that the decorative sheet is attached in direct contact with the surface of the object to be decorated on which no decorative layer is formed. Therefore, the case where the decorative sheet is attached to the surface of the object to be decorated on which a pretreatment layer not for decorative purposes is applied also corresponds to the case where the decorative sheet is directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated. In addition, when the object to be decorated is a metal, the case where the decorative sheet is attached to the surface of the object to be decorated on which an anti-corrosion layer is formed also corresponds to the case where the decorative sheet is directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated.

[0034] However, it is not essential that the decorative sheet is directly attached to the object to be decorated. The object to be decorated may be coated with a decorative paint, and the decorative sheet may be attached to the decorative layer.

[0035] In this embodiment, an example will be described in which the common decorative sheet 32a is a base common decorative sheet that is attached adjacent to the surface of the object to be decorated 22a or the object to be decorated 22b.

[0036] The presence or absence of a decorative sheet to be laminated is determined (see step S4). That is, in order to make the external design of the decoration object 20a and the decoration object 20b different, the presence or absence or the type of the additional decorative sheet 42a covering the decoration object 22a and the decoration object 22b is changed. In this embodiment, the presence or absence of the additional decorative sheet 42a covering the decoration object 22a and the decoration object 22b is changed.

[0037] That is, when the object 22a to be decorated does not have an additional decorative sheet 42a, it is determined in step S4 that there is no decorative sheet to be laminated. Therefore, the decorative layer 30a on the object 22a to be decorated has a single-layer structure of the common decorative sheet 32a. Therefore, the object 20a to be decorated has an appearance decorated with the common decorative sheet 32a.

[0038] The object to be decorated 22b is covered with the common decorative sheet 32a, and is further covered with the additional decorative sheet 42a. In this case, it is determined in step S4 that there is a decorative sheet to be laminated, and the process returns to step S2. The additional decorative sheet 42a may be directly attached to the surface of the common decorative sheet 32a by the same procedure as for the common decorative sheet 32a. Therefore, the decorative layer 30b on the object to be decorated 22b has a multi-layer structure including the common decorative sheet 32a and the additional decorative sheet 42a. Therefore, the object to be decorated 20b has an appearance in which the common decorative sheet 32a can be observed through the additional decorative sheet 42a.

[0039] According to this manufacturing method for the decorative objects 20a and 20b, the common decorative sheet 32a is used in common for the decorative object 20a and the decorative object 20b regardless of the external design. Therefore, the frequency of use of the common decorative sheet 32a can be increased, and the amount of use can be increased. In addition, by changing the presence or absence of the additional decorative sheet 42a or changing the type of the additional decorative sheet 42a, decorative objects with different external designs can be obtained. This at least expands the application range of the common decorative sheet 32a, and increases versatility.

[0040] For example, consider a case where a dedicated decorative sheet for the decoration 20a and a dedicated decorative sheet for the decoration 20b are prepared separately. In this case, the amount of the dedicated decorative sheet for the decoration 20a corresponds to the number of the decoration 20a to be manufactured, and the amount of the dedicated decorative sheet for the decoration 20b corresponds to the number of the decoration 20b to be manufactured.

[0041] According to this embodiment, the common decorative sheet 32a is used in an amount corresponding to the total number of the decorative objects 20a and 20b manufactured, and the additional decorative sheet 42a is used in an amount corresponding to the number of the decorative objects 20b manufactured. Therefore, the amount of the common decorative sheet 32a used can be increased. If the amount of the common decorative sheet 32a used can be increased, the manufacturing cost of the common decorative sheet 32a can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the decorative objects 20a and 20b can be reduced.

[0042] From this viewpoint, the objects to be decorated 22a and 22b are covered with a common decorative sheet 32a, and the presence or absence of an additional decorative sheet 42a covering the objects to be decorated 22a and 22b is changed. Thus, the object to be decorated 22a is an example of a first object to be decorated, and the object to be decorated 22b is an example of a second object to be decorated.

[0043] In addition, because the exterior design is realized by the decorative sheet, the painting process can be eliminated or reduced. As a result, the number of painting processes can be reduced, and decorated products can be manufactured while reducing manufacturing costs and environmental impact. Another advantage is that the work of attaching the decorative sheet is easier than painting and can be easily automated. Products with different exterior designs can be manufactured simply by changing the type and number of decorative sheets to be attached. For this reason, compared to painting work that requires different paints to be applied, it is easier to manufacture products with different exterior designs and to diversify the product line.

[0044] By using the common decorative sheet 32a as a common base sheet adjacent to the surfaces of the objects 22a, 22b to be decorated, the initial steps of manufacturing the objects 20a, 20b can be shared, and the benefits of sharing the steps are great.

[0045] In addition, according to the decoration object 20b, a wide variety of appearances can be realized by combining the first decorative sheet exemplified as the common decorative sheet 32a and the second decorative sheet exemplified as the additional decorative sheet 42a. At least one of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet can be used to decorate other decoration objects, as in the decoration object 20a. This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility.

[0046] The common decorative sheet 32a may be a sheet that forms a base color as a chromatic color, and the additional decorative sheet 42a may be a decorative sheet that adds visual correction to the base color. This makes it possible to manufacture multiple types of decorative objects with different visual correction effects for the base color.

[0047] Conversely, the common decorative sheet 32a may be a decorative sheet that adds visual correction to the base color. The additional decorative sheet 42a may be a chromatic sheet that forms the base color. This allows the manufacture of multiple types of decorative objects with the same visual correction effect but different base colors.

[0048] For example, a decorative sheet that provides visual correction may contain transparent fine particle materials such as polyester or acrylic to provide a matte effect to the base color. A decorative sheet that provides visual correction may also contain glitter particles such as aluminum flakes to provide a glitter effect to the base color. A decorative sheet that provides visual correction may also contain materials such as pearl pigments to provide a pearl effect to the base color. The pearl effect is an effect in which the base color is the actual color and a color is provided by interference, like a pearl. A decorative sheet with a visual correction effect may be prepared with transparent layers of different thicknesses.

[0049] The decorative sheets 32a, 42a as described above soften and adhere to the objects 22a, 22b without gaps during thermoforming, conforming to the shape of the objects 22a, 22b. Therefore, even if the objects 22a, 22b have curved surfaces, decoration can be achieved that conforms to the shape of the objects 22a, 22b. In vehicles used outdoors, the sheets are suitable for use when the objects 22a, 22b are exposed to curved surfaces. When the objects 20a, 20b are exposed to sunlight outdoors, the optical effect of bright light that mixes countless colors easily changes the appearance of the exterior depending on the angle at which the light strikes.

[0050] In FIG. 3, the types of additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b covering the object to be decorated 22b and the object to be decorated 22c may be changed to make the external designs of the decoration object 20b and the decoration object 20c shown in parentheses different from each other.

[0051] The additional decorative sheet 42a and the additional decorative sheet 42b are different in type in that they have different external designs. For example, the object to be decorated 22b may be covered with the additional decorative sheet 42a, and the object to be decorated 22c may be covered with the additional decorative sheet 42b.

[0052] In this case, the decoration 20b has an appearance obtained by observing the common decorative sheet 32a through the additional decorative sheet 42a. The decoration 20c has an appearance obtained by observing the common decorative sheet 32a through the additional decorative sheet 42b. Therefore, the decorations 20b and 20c have different appearance designs.

[0053] From this viewpoint, the objects to be decorated 22b and 22c are covered with the common decorative sheet 32a, and the types of the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b covering the objects to be decorated 22b and 22c are changed. Therefore, the object to be decorated 22b may be understood as an example of the first object to be decorated, and the object to be decorated 22c may be understood as an example of the second object to be decorated.

[0054] The common decorative sheet 32a can be observed through the additional decorative sheet 42a or the additional decorative sheet 42b. The common decorative sheet 32a may be, for example, a sheet including a metallic layer 32ay. The metallic layer 32ay is a layer having a metal-like luster. The metallic layer 32ay is, for example, a layer formed by mixing metal powder with paint. The metal powder is, for example, aluminum flakes. The metallic layer 32ay may be, for example, a silver metallic layer.

[0055] The common decorative sheet 32a does not have to be a metallic layer, and may be, for example, a chromatic color layer.

[0056] The additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b are preferably translucent so that the common decorative sheet 32a can be observed. Translucency refers to the property of allowing light to pass through the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b to at least allow a faint recognition of the color, outline, or pattern under an indoor lighting environment.

[0057] The additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b may be sheets having a higher light transmittance than the common decorative sheet 32a.

[0058] The additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b may be, for example, translucent sheets including color clear layers 42ay, 42by. The color clear layers are layers that include coloring elements for adding color and have translucency. The coloring elements are elements that change the appearance, and may be pigments or doses, for example. The color clear layers 42ay, 42by may be formed from a color clear agent in which a pigment is added to a clear paint. The color clear layers 42ay, 42by are observed to have a darker color as their thickness increases. For this reason, they are more likely to give a sense of depth than opaque colored layers or colorless, transparent layers.

[0059] The difference between the types of the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b may be the difference in color between the color clear layers 42ay, 42by. For example, a green color clear layer 42ay may be used as the additional decorative sheet 42a, and an orange color clear layer 42by may be used as the additional decorative sheet 42b.

[0060] The common decorative sheet 32a may be a metallic layer 32ay such as a silver metallic layer, and the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b including the color clear layers 42ay, 42by may cover the common decorative sheet 32a from the side opposite to the objects of decoration 22b, 22c. In this case, the common decorative sheet 32a including the metallic layer can be observed through the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b having translucency, so that a transparent and glossy candy color is realized, and the variety of appearance types can be increased.

[0061] By changing the color of the color clear layers of the additional decorative sheets 42a and 42b, the candy color can be changed.

[0062] In addition, the thickness of the additional decorative sheets 42a, 42b is more easily formed to a uniform thickness than a paint film, and therefore the common decorative sheet 32a is observed through the color clear layer of uniform thickness, so that a uniform sense of transparency can be presented, and the texture of the appearance of the decorative objects 20b, 20c can be improved.

[0063] The decorations 20a, 20b, and 20c may be covered with an additional functional sheet, which may be an abrasion-resistant sheet, a scratch-repairing sheet, a light-resistant sheet, a weather-resistant sheet, a stain-resistant sheet, or an ultraviolet-resistant sheet.

[0064] In the first embodiment, as in the modified example shown in Fig. 4, the additional decorative sheet 42c may include a glittering clear layer 42cy to which glittering particles 42cg are added. The glittering particles are particles that cause light reflection, such as mica particles, pearl particles, metal particles (e.g., aluminum particles), and pigments in which glass flakes are coated with metal or metal oxide (e.g., titanium oxide). The glittering clear layer may include glittering particles 42cg in a transparent layer or a color clear layer.

[0065] When the additional decorative sheet 42c includes the glittering clear layer 42cy, the light that enters the glittering clear layer 42cy is reflected by the glittering particles at various positions in the thickness direction. This gives the glittering clear layer 42cy a sense of depth. In addition, the light is reflected by the scattered glittering particles. This gives the surface of the decoration 20d covered with the additional decorative sheet 42c a fine, sparkling feel at multiple positions. This improves the texture of the decoration 20d.

[0066] When changing the type of additional decorative sheet as in this modified example, it is also possible to change the type between the color clear layers 42ay, by and the shiny clear layer 42cy, rather than just changing the color of the color clear layer.

[0067] When the shiny clear layer 42cy is realized by the additional decorative sheet 42c, the thickness of the shiny clear layer 42cy is more easily formed to a constant thickness than a coating layer. Therefore, the shiny clear layer 42cy of a uniform thickness can exhibit a uniform transparency, and can improve the texture of the appearance of the decoration 20d.

[0068] The additional decorative sheet may be any layer that produces an optical change in the design of the base, and may include a layer having optical deflection properties in addition to the above-mentioned color clear layer or layer containing a glittering material.

[0069] {Second embodiment} In the first embodiment, an example has been described in which the common decorative sheet is a common base sheet, and the additional decorative sheet covers the common decorative sheet from the side opposite to the object to be decorated.

[0070] In the second embodiment, an example will be described in which an additional decorative sheet is a common base sheet, and a common decorative sheet covers the additional decorative sheet from the side opposite to the object to be decorated.

[0071] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a manufacturing method for the decorations 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d according to the second embodiment.

[0072] In manufacturing the decorations 120a, 120b, 120c, and 120d, additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b and a common decorative sheet 132a are prepared. The additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b have a different external design from the common decorative sheet 132a.

[0073] The additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b are sheets that are attached to the object to be decorated 22 as common base sheets. The additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b are sheets that are observed through a translucent sheet, similar to the common decorative sheet 32a in the first embodiment. The additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b may include a metallic layer. For example, the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b may include a silver metallic layer, a gold metallic layer, or a color layer of various chromatic colors or an achromatic layer.

[0074] The common decorative sheet 132a may have a degree of translucency that allows the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b to be observed, similar to the additional decorative sheet 42a in the first embodiment. However, the common decorative sheet 132a is not a transparent sheet that allows the other side to be observed as is. In other words, the common decorative sheet 132a is a sheet that brings about some optical change to the design of the base. Therefore, when the common decorative sheet 132a is attached to the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b, a decoration having an external design is applied by a combination of the additional decorative sheet 142a or the additional decorative sheet 142b and the common decorative sheet 132a.

[0075] Then, the additional decorative sheet 142a or the additional decorative sheet 142b is attached to the object to be decorated 22. The object to be decorated 22 with the additional decorative sheet 142a attached is the decorative object 120a. The object to be decorated 22 with the additional decorative sheet 142b attached is the decorative object 120c. The decorative objects 120a and 120c have different external designs due to the types of the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b.

[0076] A common decoration sheet 132a is attached onto the object to be decorated 22 to which the additional decoration sheet 142a has been attached, thereby producing a decorated object 120b.

[0077] A common decoration sheet 132a is attached onto the object to be decorated 22 to which the additional decoration sheet 142b has been attached, thereby producing a decorated object 120d.

[0078] In the relationship between the decoration 120b and the decoration 120d, the types of the additional decorative sheets 142a, 142b are different, and therefore the external designs are different.

[0079] The common decorative sheet 132a may be attached to the object to be decorated 22 without attaching the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b. In this case, the external design of the object to be decorated can be made different depending on the presence or absence of the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b.

[0080] According to the second embodiment, the additional decorative sheets 142a and 142b are used as base layers. The common decorative sheet 132a is non-transparent and light-transmitting, and is used as a surface-side common decorative sheet that is commonly attached to the decoration object 22 as the first decoration object or the second decoration object. Therefore, the common decorative sheet 132a can provide a special color effect to the base design. In addition, the thickness of the common decorative sheet 132a as the surface-side common decorative sheet is more easily formed to a constant thickness than a coating layer. Therefore, the common decorative sheet 132a with a uniform thickness can provide a uniform feeling of thickness.

[0081] In addition, an object to be decorated 22 to which the additional decorative sheet 142a or the additional decorative sheet 142b is attached may be manufactured as the decorated object 120a or 100c.

[0082] {Third embodiment} In the third embodiment, an example is described in which a base common decorative sheet that is attached adjacent to the surface of the object to be decorated 22, and a surface side common decorative sheet that is attached onto the base design surface of the object to be decorated 22 are prepared as common decorative sheets.

[0083] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a manufacturing method for the decorations 220d and 220e according to the third embodiment.

[0084] That is, the common decoration sheet 32a is attached to the object 22 to be decorated as described in the first embodiment and its modified example.

[0085] An additional decorative sheet 42a or an additional decorative sheet 42b is attached to the surface of the common decorative sheet 32a as the above-mentioned base common decorative sheet. In this way, a base design is formed by combining the common decorative sheet 32a and the additional decorative sheet 42a, or a base design is formed by combining the common decorative sheet 32a and the additional decorative sheet 42b.

[0086] Furthermore, a common decorative sheet 252a is attached to the surface of the additional decorative sheet 42a or the additional decorative sheet 42b. As the common decorative sheet 252a, a sheet having a color clear layer or a shiny clear layer to which shiny particles are added can be used, like the additional decorative sheet 42c.

[0087] In this way, the decorative objects 220d and 220e are manufactured. The decorative object 220d is configured by attaching a common decorative sheet 32a, an additional decorative sheet 42a, and a common decorative sheet 252a to the object to be decorated 22. The decorative object 220e is configured by attaching a common decorative sheet 32a, an additional decorative sheet 42b, and a common decorative sheet 252a to the object to be decorated 22. The decorative objects 220d and 220e have different external designs because the types of the additional decorative sheets 42a and 42b are different.

[0088] Alternatively, the additional decorative sheets 42a and 42b may be omitted, and the common decorative sheet 252a may be attached to the surface of the common decorative sheet 32a to produce a decorative object. This decorative object has an external design different from the decorative objects 220d and 220e, since the common decorative sheet 32a is directly observed through the common decorative sheet 252a.

[0089] In this embodiment, the common decorative sheet 32a is an example of a base common decorative sheet that is attached adjacent to the surface of the decoration target 22d for the decoration object 220d and the surface of the decoration target 22e for the decoration object 220e.

[0090] The common decorative sheet 252a has a color clear layer or a glittering clear layer with glittering particles added thereto, and is an example of a surface-side common decorative sheet that is attached onto the base design surface of the object to be decorated 22d or the object to be decorated 22e.

[0091] According to this embodiment, for decorative objects 220d, 220e having multiple exterior designs, the common decorative sheet 32a as a base common decorative sheet constituting at least a part of the base design and the common decorative sheet 252a as a surface side common decorative sheet are standardized, thereby expanding their range of application and increasing versatility.

[0092] In addition, according to this embodiment, by using four types of decorative sheets 32a, 42a, 42b, 252a, it is possible to manufacture decorative objects 20a, 20b, 20c, 220d, 220e having five or more types of exterior designs. Specifically, it is possible to manufacture a decorative object 20a to which only the decorative sheet 32a is attached, a decorative object 20b to which the decorative sheets 32a and 42a are attached, a decorative object 20c to which the decorative sheets 32a and 42b are attached, a decorative object 220d to which the decorative sheets 32a, 42a, 252a are attached, and a decorative object 220e to which the decorative sheets 32a, 42b, 252a are attached. Therefore, the number of types of exterior designs of the decorative objects can be made equal to or greater than the number of types of the decorative sheets 32a, 42a, 42b, 252a, and it is possible to enrich the exterior designs of the decorative objects at low cost.

[0093] In this embodiment, the decoration object 22b for the decoration 20b may be understood as the first decoration object, the decoration object 22d for the decoration 220d as the second decoration object, and the decoration object 22e for the decoration 220e as the third decoration object.

[0094] In this case, the common decoration sheet 32a may be understood as a first common decoration sheet that covers the decoration target 22b as the first decoration target and the decoration target 22d as the second decoration target.

[0095] The common decoration sheet 252a may be understood as a second common decoration sheet that covers the decoration object 22d as the second decoration object and the decoration object 22e as the third decoration object.

[0096] When understood in this way, by using the common decorative sheet 252a as the second common decorative sheet, the second decorative object 220d having a different appearance design from the decorative object 20b as the first decorative object can be manufactured. By using the common decorative sheet 252a as the second common decorative sheet, the third decorative object 220e having an even different appearance design can be manufactured. Therefore, by using multiple types of common decorative sheets 32a, 252a having different appearance designs, it is possible to achieve a diversity of appearance designs and increase the variety of different decorative objects.

[0097] The decoration object 220d has a common decoration sheet 32a, an additional decoration sheet 42a covering the common decoration sheet 32a, and a common decoration sheet 252a covering the additional decoration sheet 42a. The common decoration sheet 252a is an example of a first decoration sheet covering the object to be decorated 22, the additional decoration sheet 42a is an example of a second decoration sheet having translucency, and the common decoration sheet 252a is an example of a third decoration sheet having translucency.

[0098] This decoration object 220d can realize a wide variety of appearances by combining the first decoration sheet on the decoration object 22 with the second and third decoration sheets having translucency superimposed thereon. At least one of the decoration sheets can also be used to decorate other decoration objects. This expands the range of application of the decoration sheets and increases their versatility.

[0099] 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a modified example of the third embodiment. In this modified example, a plurality of common decorative sheets 32a, 32b with different external designs are prepared as a base common decorative sheet to be attached to the surface of the object to be decorated 22. The common decorative sheets 32a, 32b may be sheets of different colors, for example.

[0100] The common decorative sheets 32a and 32b are used as base common decorative sheets, and the type of the common decorative sheets 32a and 32b is changed according to the external design to be manufactured. Additional decorative sheets 42a and 42b and a common decorative sheet 252a may be attached to the front side of the common decorative sheets 32a and 32b according to the external design to be manufactured.

[0101] The common decorative sheets 32a, 32b can be observed through the additional decorative sheet 42a or the additional decorative sheet 42b, which has translucency, and the common decorative sheet 252a, which also has translucency, so that by changing the common decorative sheets 32a, 32b, decorative objects with different external designs can be produced.

[0102] A plurality of common decorative sheets 252a, 252b with different exterior designs may be prepared as the surface-side common decorative sheet to be attached onto the base design of the object to be decorated 22. The common decorative sheets 252a, 252b may have different designs with or without glittering particles, or may be sheets of different colors, as long as they bring about different optical changes to the base design.

[0103] The common decorative sheets 252a and 252b are used as surface common decorative sheets, and the type of the common decorative sheets 252a and 252b is changed according to the external design to be manufactured. Since the base design can be observed through the common decorative sheets 252a and 252b, decorative objects with different external designs can be manufactured by changing the common decorative sheets 252a and 252b.

[0104] Note that multiple types of common decorative sheets 32a, 32b may be prepared as base common decorative sheets, and one type of common decorative sheet 252a may be prepared as the front common decorative sheet. Alternatively, one type of common decorative sheet 32a may be prepared as the base common decorative sheet, and multiple types of common decorative sheets 252a, 252b may be prepared as the front common decorative sheet.

[0105] According to this modified example, by changing at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface common decorative sheet, which have different exterior designs, the variety of decorations with different exterior designs can be increased.

[0106] {Variation} Although the decorative object is exemplified by a part of a saddle-type vehicle, the decorative object is not limited to this. For example, an automobile part may be the decorative object. For example, the decorative object may be a wheel cover, a mirror cover, or an interior part such as a dashboard or a steering wheel. In addition, the decorative object may be suitably used for parts that require a variety of color designs. For example, parts other than vehicle parts that have a highly hobby-oriented design or parts that are produced in a wide variety of small quantities (wide variety small lot) may be selected as the decorative object.

[0107] Of the decorative sheets, either or both of the common decorative sheet and the additional decorative sheet do not have to be formed in a single color, and may be printed with a plurality of colors to form a pattern or a logo.

[0108] The decorative sheet may be thermoformed layer by layer, or a plurality of layers may be laminated and thermoformed together.

[0109] The decoration may be a part of another vehicle. For example, the decoration may be a part of a three-wheeled motor vehicle, an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle), a personal watercraft, or a four-wheeled automobile. The decoration may be a wheel cover or a mirror cover. The decoration does not necessarily have to be a part of a vehicle, and may be any of various objects that are decorated on the object to be decorated.

[0110] The configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.

[0111] This disclosure also discloses content from the following two perspectives.

[0112] Based on the first perspective:

[0113] The first aspect is a method for producing a decoration, which comprises preparing a plurality of types of decorative sheets, and selecting one or more of the plurality of types of decorative sheets to cover a surface of an object to be decorated.

[0114] In this case, a wide variety of appearances can be realized by using one decorative sheet selected from a plurality of types of decorative sheets or by combining a plurality of decorative sheets.

[0115] The second aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to the first aspect, which includes preparing a first decorative sheet and a second decorative sheet as the multiple types of decorative sheets, preparing multiple types of at least one of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet, and combining the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet to cover the surface of the object to be decorated.

[0116] In this case, a variety of appearances can be realized by preparing multiple types of at least one of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet and combining the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet.

[0117] A third aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative article according to the second aspect, in which the second decorative sheet covers the first decorative sheet from the side opposite to the object to be decorated.

[0118] This allows the first decorative sheet to be used as a base layer, and the second decorative sheet to be used as a layer that is easily observed from the outside.

[0119] A fourth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to the third aspect, in which the first decorative sheet is directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated, and the second decorative sheet is directly attached to the first decorative sheet.

[0120] As a result, even if the coating layer is reduced, a rich appearance can be achieved by the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet.

[0121] A fifth aspect is a method for producing a decorative article according to the third or fourth aspect, in which the second decorative sheet has a higher transmittance than the first decorative sheet.

[0122] This allows the first decorative sheet to be observed through the second decorative sheet, thereby improving the appearance and texture of the decorative article.

[0123] A sixth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object relating to any one of the third to fifth aspects, wherein the first decorative sheet includes a metallic layer, and the second decorative sheet has a degree of transparency that allows the first decorative sheet to be observed from the outside.

[0124] In this case, since the metallic layer can be observed through the transparent second decorative sheet, the texture of the appearance of the decoration can be improved.

[0125] A seventh aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object relating to any one of the third to sixth aspects, wherein the second decorative sheet includes a color clear layer or a shiny clear layer having shiny particles added thereto.

[0126] In this way, the first decorative sheet can be observed through the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer, thereby improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object. Also, the thickness of the second decorative sheet is easier to form to a uniform thickness than a coating layer. Therefore, a color clear layer or a glossy clear layer of uniform thickness can exhibit uniform transparency, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object.

[0127] An eighth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative article according to any one of the second to seventh aspects, in which the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet are covered with a third decorative sheet.

[0128] In this case, a wider variety of external appearances can be achieved by combining the first decorative sheet, the second decorative sheet, and the third decorative sheet.

[0129] A ninth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative article according to any one of the second to eighth aspects, in which the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet are covered with an additional functional sheet.

[0130] This makes it possible to add functions to the outside of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet by using the additional functional sheet.

[0131] A tenth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative article relating to any one of the second to ninth aspects, wherein each sheet layer formed by the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet includes a sheet base material having a first main surface and a second main surface, an adhesive layer located on the first main surface side, and a decorative layer located on the second main surface side.

[0132] This allows the decorative layer to be neatly formed as a single layer.

[0133] An eleventh aspect is a decorated article comprising an object, a first decorative sheet attached directly to the surface of the object, and a second decorative sheet attached directly to the first decorative sheet.

[0134] This allows a wide variety of appearances to be expressed by combining the first and second decorative sheets. In addition, since the first decorative sheet is directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated, and the second decorative sheet is directly attached to the first decorative sheet, the coating layer can be reduced.

[0135] The twelfth aspect is a decorative article related to the eleventh aspect, in which each layer of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet includes a sheet base material having a first main surface and a second main surface, an adhesive layer located on the first main surface side, and a decorative layer located on the second main surface side.

[0136] This allows the decorative layer to be neatly formed as a single layer.

[0137] Moreover, based on the second perspective,

[0138] A first aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object, comprising: preparing a plurality of types of decorative sheets including a common decorative sheet and an additional decorative sheet having an external design different from that of the common decorative sheet; selecting at least one of the plurality of types of decorative sheets to cover a first decorative object to manufacture a first decorative object; selecting a plurality of types of decorative sheets to cover a second decorative object to manufacture a second decorative object; covering the first decorative object and the second decorative object with the common decorative sheet; and changing the presence or absence or type of the additional decorative sheet covering the first decorative object and the second decorative object, thereby differing the external designs of the first decorative object and the second decorative object.

[0139] In this case, the common decorative sheet can be used in common regardless of the external design of the object to be decorated, and the frequency of use of the common decorative sheet can be increased, thereby reducing the number of types of decorative sheets to be prepared. Also, by changing the presence or absence of an additional decorative sheet or by changing the type of additional decorative sheet, a first decorative object and a second decorative object with different external designs can be obtained. This at least expands the range of application of the common decorative sheet, thereby increasing versatility.

[0140] The second aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to the first aspect, which includes preparing a first common decorative sheet and a second common decorative sheet having an external design different from that of the first common decorative sheet as the common decorative sheet, covering the first decorative object and the second decorative object with the first common decorative sheet, and covering a third decorative object with at least the second common decorative sheet to manufacture a third decorative object having an external design different from that of each of the first decorative object and the second decorative object.

[0146] A fifth aspect is a method for producing a decorative article according to the fourth aspect, in which the additional decorative sheet includes a color clear layer or a glittering clear layer to which glittering particles have been added.

[0147] In this case, the common decorative sheet can be observed through the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer, thereby improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object. Also, the thickness of the additional decorative sheet is more easily formed to a uniform thickness than the coating layer. Therefore, the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer of uniform thickness can exhibit uniform transparency, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object.

[0148] A sixth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the common decorative sheet is non-transparent and light-transmitting, and includes a surface-side common decorative sheet that is attached onto the base design surface of the first decorative object or the second decorative object.

[0149] This allows a special color effect to be applied to the base design. The thickness of the surface-side common decorative sheet is easier to form to a uniform thickness than a coating layer. Therefore, a surface-side common decorative sheet with a uniform thickness can exhibit a uniform transparency, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorated object.

[0150] A seventh aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative article according to the sixth aspect, in which the surface side common decorative sheet includes a color clear layer or a shiny clear layer having shiny particles added thereto.

[0151] In this case, the base design can be observed through the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object. Also, the thickness of the second decorative sheet is more easily formed to a uniform thickness than the coating layer. Therefore, the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer of uniform thickness can exhibit uniform transparency, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object.

[0152] An eighth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the common decorative sheet includes a base common decorative sheet that is attached adjacent to the surface of the first decorative object or the second decorative object, and a surface common decorative sheet that has a color clear layer or a shiny clear layer to which shiny particles have been added, and is attached onto the base design surface of the first decorative object or the second decorative object.

[0153] This allows the base sheet and the surface layer sheet to be the same.

[0154] A ninth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object relating to the eighth aspect, in which at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface side common decorative sheet are prepared in multiple types with different appearance designs, and the type of at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface side common decorative sheet is changed between the first decoration object and the second decoration object and the third decoration object.

[0155] This allows the variety of decorations with different exterior designs to be increased by changing at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the front common decorative sheet, which have different exterior designs.

[0156] The tenth aspect is a decorated object comprising an object to be decorated having a surface, a first decorative sheet attached directly to the surface, and a second decorative sheet attached directly to the first decorative sheet and having transparency that allows the first decorative sheet to be observed.

[0157] As a result, a wide variety of appearances can be expressed by combining the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet. At least one of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet can also be used to decorate other objects. This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility. In addition, since the first decorative sheet is directly attached to the surface of the object to be decorated and the second decorative sheet is directly attached to the first decorative sheet, the coating layer can be reduced.

[0158] In addition, an eleventh aspect is a decorative object comprising a resin object to be decorated, a first decorative sheet covering the object to be decorated, and a second decorative sheet covering the first decorative sheet and having transparency that allows the first decorative sheet to be observed.

[0159] As a result, a wide variety of appearance expressions can be realized by combining the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet.

This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility. In addition, since the appearance design of the object to be decorated can be expressed by the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet, the coating layer can be reduced.

[0160] A twelfth aspect is a decorative article according to the tenth or eleventh aspect, in which the second decorative sheet has a color clear layer or a glittering clear layer to which glittering particles are added.

[0161] This allows the color clear layer or the shiny clear layer to improve the design and appearance of the decorative article.

[0162] A thirteenth aspect is a decorative article according to any one of the tenth to twelfth aspects, further comprising a second decorative sheet that covers the second decorative sheet and has transparency that allows the second decorative sheet to be observed.

[0163] This makes it possible to realize a wider variety of exterior expressions by combining the first decorative sheet, the second decorative sheet, and the third decorative sheet.

[0164] A fourteenth aspect is a decorative article relating to any one of the tenth to thirteenth aspects, wherein each layer of the first decorative sheet and the second decorative sheet includes a sheet base material having a first main surface and a second main surface, an adhesive layer located on the first main surface side, and a decorative layer located on the second main surface side.

[0165] This allows the decorative layer to be neatly formed as a single layer.

[0166] {Additional Note} The present specification and drawings disclose the following aspects.

[0167] The first aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorated object, which comprises preparing a common decorative sheet and an additional decorative sheet having an appearance design different from that of the common decorative sheet, covering a first object to be decorated and a second object to be decorated with the common decorative sheet, and changing the presence or absence or type of the additional decorative sheet covering the first object to be decorated and the second object to be decorated.

[0168] According to the first aspect, the common decorative sheet can be used in common regardless of the external design of the decorative object, and the frequency of use of the common decorative sheet can be increased. In addition, by changing the presence or absence of an additional decorative sheet or by changing the type of the additional decorative sheet, decorative objects with different external designs can be obtained. This makes it possible to manufacture decorative objects with different external designs while at least expanding the range of application of the common decorative sheet and increasing versatility. In addition, by changing the presence or absence or type of the additional decorative sheet, it is possible to realize a greater variety of external designs than the number of types of decorative sheets.

[0169] As in the second aspect, a manufacturing method for a decorative object according to the first aspect may include preparing a first common decorative sheet and a second common decorative sheet having an appearance design different from that of the first common decorative sheet as the common decorative sheet, covering the first decorative object and the second decorative object with the first common decorative sheet, covering the second decorative object with the second common decorative sheet, and further covering a third decorative object with at least the second common decorative sheet to manufacture a third decorative object.

[0170] In this case, the use of a second common decorative sheet can further increase the variety of appearance design expressions.

[0175] As in a fifth aspect, in the method for producing a decoration according to the fourth aspect, the additional decorative sheet may include a color clear layer or a glittering clear layer to which glittering particles are added.

[0176] In this way, the common decorative sheet can be observed through the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer, thereby improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object. Also, the thickness of the additional decorative sheet is easier to form to a uniform thickness than the coating layer. Therefore, the color clear layer or the glossy clear layer of uniform thickness can present a uniform transparency, improving the texture of the appearance of the decorative object.

[0177] A sixth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the common decorative sheet may include a surface-side common decorative sheet that is non-transparent and translucent and is attached to the first decorative object or the second decorative object.

[0178] In this case, a special color effect can be applied to the base design. Also, the thickness of the surface-side common decorative sheet is easier to be formed to a uniform thickness than the coating layer. Therefore, a surface-side common decorative sheet of uniform thickness can present a uniform feeling of thickness.

[0179] A seventh aspect is a method for manufacturing any one of the first to sixth decorative objects, wherein the common decorative sheet may include a base common decorative sheet that is attached adjacent to a surface of the first decorative object or the second decorative object, and a surface common decorative sheet that has a color clear layer or a shiny clear layer to which shiny particles have been added, and is attached onto the base design surface of the first decorative object or the second decorative object.

[0180] This allows the base sheet and the surface layer sheet to be the same.

[0181] An eighth aspect is a method for manufacturing a decorative object relating to the seventh aspect, in which at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface side common decorative sheet is prepared in multiple types with different appearance designs, and by changing the type of at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface side common decorative sheet, decorative objects with different appearance designs can be manufactured.

[0182] In this way, by changing at least one of the base common decorative sheet and the surface common decorative sheet, which have different exterior designs, the variety of decorations with different exterior designs can be increased.

[0183] A ninth aspect is the method for producing a decoration according to the first aspect, in which the common decorative sheet may cover the additional decorative sheet from the side opposite to the object to be decorated.

[0184] In this case, the additional decorative sheet can be used as a base layer, and the common decorative sheet can be used as a layer that is easily observed from the outside.

[0185] The decorative object of the tenth aspect is a decorative object comprising an object to be decorated having a surface, a first decorative sheet attached directly to the surface, and a second decorative sheet attached directly to the first decorative sheet and having translucency.

[0186] This decorative object can realize a wide variety of appearances by combining the first and second decorative sheets. At least one of the first and second decorative sheets can be used to decorate other decorative objects. This expands the range of application of the decorative sheet and increases its versatility.

[0187] The decorative object of the eleventh aspect is a decorative object comprising an object to be decorated, a first decorative sheet covering the object to be decorated, a second decorative sheet covering the first decorative sheet and having translucency, and a third decorative sheet covering the second decorative sheet and having translucency.
