When anodizing a case made of aluminum or the like, it is necessary to attach a conductive jig to the case in order to perform electrolytic treatment. For example, as shown in FIG. 6A, a J-shaped conductive jig 2 is inserted into a hole 11 formed in the housing 1 and immersed in an electrolytic solution to perform an alumite treatment and a coloring treatment of an oxide film. However, in this case, as shown in FIG. 6B, since the oxide film is not formed on the portion where the conductive jig 2 and the housing 1 are in contact, this portion is not colored even by the coloring treatment. If the uncolored portion appears on the front surface side of the housing 1, the product value is impaired in appearance.

Therefore, as a method of solving such a problem, a method of separately providing a tag for attaching a conductive jig to a housing has been adopted. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an example in which a tag is provided on a housing. In the case 1 of FIG. 7, two tags 14 are formed integrally with the case 1 on a peripheral portion of an upper surface thereof (the inner surface side after the device is assembled). A conductive jig 2 as shown in FIG. 6 is inserted through the tag 14, and a series of processes including an alumite process and a coloring process are performed on the housing 1. When these processes are completed, the tag 14 becomes unnecessary and is finally cut and removed.

FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing an embodiment of the housing of the present invention. In the case 1 of FIG. 1, a circular hole 11 is formed at one corner, and a J-shaped conductive jig 2 is inserted into the hole 11. The conductive jig 2 also serves to support and fix the housing 1. Of course, the housing 1 may be supported using a supporting member separately from the conductive jig 2, but
It is preferable that the housing 1 be supported by the conductive jig 2 in consideration of a decrease in work efficiency and an increase in uncolored portions. Here, the material and shape of the conductive jig 2 are not particularly limited as long as the conductive jig 2 has conductivity and can be engaged with the hole 11 formed in the housing 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of housings 1 are mounted on a metal frame 4 via a conductive jig 2, and after undergoing a predetermined process such as degreasing or washing with water, these are immersed in an electrolytic solution. Alumite treatment is performed by applying a DC voltage. At this time, the housing 1 becomes an anode electrode and is oxidized to form a porous oxide film on its surface. As the electrolytic solution, any of acidic sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, chromic acid, boric acid, alkaline and non-aqueous solutions can be used. Since the appearance and color tone of the oxide film differ depending on the type of electrolytic solution and electrolytic conditions,
What is necessary is just to determine suitably according to the use of a housing | casing etc. For example,
When sulfuric acid is used as the electrolytic solution, the sulfuric acid concentration: 10
2020%, current density: 70-150 A / m 2 , voltage: 1
0-20V, solution temperature: 293-303K, electrolysis time:
If the electrolysis conditions are 0.5 to 1 hour, the thickness is 5 to 30 μm.
A slightly transparent oxide film is formed.

After washing the casing with water, the porous oxide film formed on the casing surface is colored. There is no particular limitation on the coloring method, and a dyeing method using a dye, a secondary electrolytic coloring method in which a metal is electrochemically precipitated and colored, and a natural color developing method in which a color is formed by an electrolytic solution composition or an alloy component (electrolytic color developing method) Any method may be used. For example, when nickel is deposited in the pores of the oxide film using the secondary electrolytic coloring method, a large amount of nickel deposition results in black, while a small amount results in bronze color.

After the coloring of the oxide film is completed, the housing is immersed in boiling water or subjected to steam treatment under pressure to close the holes of the oxide film (sealing treatment). This is because the surface of the film and the surface of the pore wall once dissolved in hot water become hydrated alumina, and are densely precipitated in the pores and on the surface as a flaky hydrate.

Next, after the casing 1 is dried, it is removed from the metal frame 4 and becomes a final product. The casing manufactured in this manner is colored in a predetermined color except for a portion that has been in contact with the conductive jig. On the other hand, for the holes for mounting the conductive jig, which is a problem in the appearance of the product, and for the uncolored part around the hole that was not colored because it was in contact with the conductive jig, So that it cannot be seen from outside. At this time, the uncolored portion around the hole outside the assembled device is also covered with the functional member at the same time, and thus cannot be seen from the outside. Although the uncolored portion inside the assembled device is left as it is, it is not visible from the outside, so that the appearance of the device is not spoiled.

The housing 1 in FIG. 3 is a lower housing of a stationary device such as a personal computer (PC) or a printer, and is colored by the above-described processing. Around the hole 11, there is an uncolored portion due to contact with the conductive jig 2 (not shown). When assembling a device using such a housing 1, a non-slip member (functional member) 31 is attached to the lower side of the housing 1 with a double-sided adhesive tape (not shown) so as to cover the holes 11. At this time, the uncolored portion around the hole 11 is also covered by the non-slip member 31 at the same time and becomes invisible from outside. In FIG. 3, the hole 11 has an important effect on the non-slip member 31. That is, the hole 11 is
When the anti-slip member 31 is attached to the housing 1, air is sealed in the internal space formed by the anti-slip member 31 and the housing 1, and air is applied to the adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive tape.

The shape of the hole formed in the housing may be appropriately determined in consideration of the shape of the conductive jig to be used. When the conductive jig is also used as a support member of the housing when performing an immersion process such as an alumite process, the cross-sectional area of the hole is 1.1 to 1 times that of the hole engaging portion of the conductive jig. A range of .5 times is preferred. The cross-sectional area of the hole is 1.1 times that of the hole engaging portion of the conductive jig.
If the ratio is less than twice, the workability of attaching the conductive jig to the hole may be deteriorated. On the other hand, if the cross-sectional area of the hole exceeds 1.5 times that of the hole engaging portion of the conductive jig, the support of the housing by the conductive jig may become unstable.
