As described above, a box-shaped formed body having a flange with a folded edge has been produced by a vacuum forming method using a female mold. Aluminum is mainly used as a mold material. However, in order to obtain a precise and high-quality molded product, it is necessary to use a high-quality aluminum material and perform advanced machining and manual finishing by skilled workers.
It takes one and a half to two months for mold making. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the mold is high.

[0004] In addition, it is difficult to completely eliminate defects in a female mold manufactured at a high cost, and there are some defects generated during use. When this mold is made of a casting, porosity tends to occur, and it cannot be completely removed even if it is removed by post-processing. In addition, if dust or dust adheres, if it is sandwiched and molded, fine bubbles are generated due to the expansion of the air surrounded by the dust. Especially when a transparent plate is molded, it becomes an avatar shape and can be seen through from the inside. Further, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, a molded body vacuum-formed using a female mold has a bottom (rear part) on the front side, in particular, a corner where an edge 53 of a ridge line where the surfaces come into contact with each other intersects. The thickness of 54 becomes extremely thin. To prevent this, it is necessary to use a thick original plate or take a method such as complicated heating control. In addition, a thickness close to the thickness of the original plate is likely to remain on the flange 52, and it is necessary to take a similar method of controlling heating. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost is increased in any case.

In this case, in the related art in which the box-shaped molded body obtained from the female mold is reinforced from the outside, there has been a problem when the box-shaped molded body is covered on the reinforcing male mold. In other words, there is a problem that the dimensions are slightly small and cannot be inserted, the dimensions are too large to leave a gap, or the shapes do not match. If the shapes are not matched, the reinforcing mold is closed, and the reinforcing material from the outside (from the female mold side of the reinforcing mold) Injecting (or injecting) the powder, the box-shaped molded body is broken or wrinkles are caused. At that time, glass fiber is mixed to reinforce, but when backing up by injection molding, the shrinkage at the time of cooling is accurately calculated, and an accurate inner shape and dimensions taking this into account have been required. On the other hand, when the frame-shaped plug according to the present embodiment is used, it is easy to obtain a molded product with accurate dimensions. It is possible.

Conventionally, there is also a method in which a male mold is manufactured from a metal such as aluminum without using a female mold, and the box-shaped molded body is formed by vacuum forming. Although the shape and size of the mold can be obtained more accurately than the female mold, it requires extremely delicate control such as pre-stretching process with air and control of vacuum operation, and it is difficult to control the thickness. No molding method has been adopted. Although the male mold has the above-mentioned advantage, the sheet is closely adhered to the mold by the vacuum, so that the flaws and dust are easily copied to the molded product as it is. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since it is molded with the frame-shaped plug, a beautiful molded body is easily obtained. Also, the mold manufacturing cost is reduced and the manufacturing period is shortened.
