DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an exterior part for a watch, and aims to provide a method for producing a thin watch side through a simple process at low cost and with a free design. be.

Conventional methods for manufacturing thin-walled watches include a method of manufacturing into a predetermined shape by cutting, etc. after each process of drawing and press working, and a method of forming by a casting method such as lost wax, and then cutting into a predetermined shape, etc. There was a method to manufacture it in the shape of . However, the above manufacturing methods have various drawbacks.

Regarding drawing processing, there are restrictions on plate thickness, shape, and design due to processing issues. Particularly in terms of plate thickness constraints, it is extremely difficult to draw ultra-thin plates from the perspective of drawing processing, and this is a major hurdle in dealing with the trend towards thinner plates. Furthermore, since the plate thickness could not be made thinner, the amount of material used for the watch side increased, resulting in a significant cost increase for watch bodies, especially products that used precious metals. Furthermore, as watches become more fashionable and diversification of designs becomes a priority, not only does the number of drawing processes increase, but the process itself becomes impossible.

Like drawing, press working also has restrictions on plate thickness, shape, and design due to processing problems. Furthermore, removing burrs generated during press processing requires a large amount of man-hours, leading to an increase in material costs.

Compared to drawing and press working, the casting method has fewer restrictions on shape and requires less raw material for the watch. For this reason, it is most suitable for manufacturing precious metal watches, but on the other hand, casting has the disadvantage of generating cavities, so it is still difficult to apply it to watches where appearance quality is important. Defects (particularly in hot water running) have occurred and remain a problem.

As explained above, with the current manufacturing method, there are many constraints on shape, plate thickness, design, and cost increases when manufacturing thin watch sides, making it extremely difficult to expand mass production.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by combining injection molding and surface treatment technology, thereby making it possible to easily manufacture thin-walled watch sides at low cost and without being subject to restrictions on plate thickness or shape. This is what I am trying to do.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 designates a male mold for a watch exterior part made of a chemically dissolvable plastic material which is injection molded. Examples of the material for the male mold 1 include injection moldable plastic materials such as ABS resin, polycarbonate resin, polyphenylene, nylon, polysulfonate, fluorine resin, styrene, epoxy resin, and phenolic resin. Since a metal layer will be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the male mold 1 in the next step, it is manufactured in advance to a predetermined size by reducing the thickness of the metal layer 2. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface of the male mold 1 of the watch exterior part is subjected to surface treatment, and a metal layer 2 is deposited until it reaches the size of the watch side, thereby producing a complete watch side body.

The material of the metal layer 2 is Ni.Pd.Au.Ag.Rh.
Examples include Ru or alloys thereof, and multilayer coatings of the above materials. The thickness is set to 50 to 500 μm. Considering the watch side currently in use, if the thickness is less than 50 μm, there is no strength and it cannot be used as a watch side, causing damage to the movement, but if it is over 500 μm, it can be manufactured by drawing, which has cost advantages. It disappears.

For the complete watch side manufactured by the method described above,
As shown in FIG. 3, a machined hole 3 is provided on the inner surface so that the male die 1 can be chemically dissolved. Next, the male mold 1 is selectively chemically dissolved in the outer peripheral metal layer 2 of the completed watch side part to produce a male mold 4 of the watch exterior part. This male mold 4 is subjected to simple cutting and polishing and used as a watch side.

Since the watch side according to the present invention combines injection molding and surface treatment, it has good dimensional accuracy, which is a feature of the injection molding method, and can press product dimensions to a tolerance of 2/1000 to 3/1000 mm. It is. The constraints on shapes have expanded dramatically, and almost any shape can be created as long as a mold is available. Furthermore, by using surface treatment technology, the thickness of the plating layer, that is, the thickness of the watch side, can be adjusted to match the material strength and the strength of the watch side, making it possible to obtain an extremely high quality watch side. In addition, the plate thickness, shape, and
