A method for manufacturing a lighting button key is provided. The method includes forming a button body by processing a metal plate, attaching a thin film to the button body and performing double etching on a rear surface of the button body to process a symbol pattern. Additionally, the method includes press-forming the rear surface of the button body and an injection material of a transparent or translucent material into the rear surface of the button body to perform injection molding.

A method of manufacturing an emergency lamp switch is provided. The method includes printing a symbol on a film using inks of a plurality of colors and injection-molding an emergency lamp switch body on a symbol print surface of the film. The symbol print surface is transferred to the emergency lamp switch body and the film from the emergency lamp switch body is removed.

A vehicle trim element is formed by a method that includes the steps of: applying a film on the front face of a layer of ligneous material, with the applied film having at least one engraved pattern; placing the layer of ligneous material together with the applied film in a forming tool, with the front face of the layer being turned towards a wall of the forming tool; pressing the layer of ligneous material together with the applied film against the wall such that the layer adopts the shape of the trim element to be produced and such that, during the pressing of the layer and applied film, the engraved pattern is transferred to the front face of the layer; and removing the film after the pressing of the layer of ligneous material in order to obtain the trim element having a front face with the engraved pattern.

A casing component according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a to-be-decorated area and a decoration portion. The to-be-decorated area includes a plurality of to-be-decorated surfaces to be decorated, the plurality of to-be-decorated surfaces being formed such that adjacent to-be-decorated surfaces have different heights. The decoration portion includes a metal layer formed in each of the plurality of to-be-decorated surfaces.

A soil-resistant transfer sheet which includes, in the following order, a substrate sheet (a), a soil-resistant layer (b), a coating layer (c), and optionally an adhesive layer (d), wherein a surface of the soil-resistant layer, which reveals after the substrate sheet (a) is removed, has a contact angle with water of 100° or larger and a contact angle with hexadecane of 40° or larger; a process for producing a molded resin by in-mold labeling using the transfer sheet. The soil-resistant layer (b) is a layer obtained from a soil-resistant composition, and the coating layer (c) is a layer obtained from a polymerizable coating composition. The soil-resistant composition especially preferably is a perfluoropolyether urethane acrylate composition. Also disclosed is a process for producing the soil-resistant transfer sheet.

A film for decorative forming includes a layered structure in which a protective layer and a colored layer are arranged sequentially in this order on a base material film, wherein, when a storage elastic modulus of the protective layer at 100° C. is written as E′a(100) and a storage elastic modulus of the colored layer at 100° C. is written as E′b(100), E′a(100) and E′b(100) satisfy conditions (1) to (3): (1) E′a(100)/E′b(100) is less than or equal to 8, (2) E′a(100) is greater than or equal to 10 MPa, (3) E′b(100) is less than or equal to 12 MPa.

An injection-moulded piece that has a plastic base layer, a transparent or translucent cover layer, and a layer containing individual decorative elements located between the base and cover layers. The decorative elements are at least partly embedded both in the cover layer and in the base layer. The method for producing the injection-moulded piece, wherein decorative elements are placed on a sticky cover layer and a base layer is applied to the decorative elements by injection moulding. The individual decorative elements are applied to the sticky surface of the cover layer, by a random process, and if required, a second cover layer is applied, the decorative elements are at least partly embedded in the cover layer, waiting for the cover layer to dry, and a base layer is applied to the decorative elements by injection moulding so that the base layer embeds the remaining part of the decorative elements.

A method for producing a component, and an injection-molding device. In the method. the following steps are carried out, in particular in succession: closing an injection mold, injection molding a base body by introducing a first plastic material into a first injection-molding cavity, opening the injection mold, stamping one or more first film elements and removing the component from the mold.

A method relates to manufacturing an in-mold decorative molded product including a transfer layer formed on a surface of an injection-molded product. The method includes inserting, in a first mold for injection molding, an in-mold transfer film including the transfer layer disposed on a base film; forming a molding injection space by mold clamping of the first mold and a second mold including a structure for injecting a molding resin into the molding injection space and a structure for holding the in-mold decorative molded product; and forming the in-mold decorative molded product by filling the molding injection space with the molding resin and then opening the first and second molds. When the base film is separated from the in-mold decorative molded product by opening the first and second molds, a peeling weight varies depending on a portion in an end part of the in-mold decorative molded product.
