Abstract
Abstract A plastics shaping mold comprising a layer of hardened resin material fixedly superposed on a metal mold and defining an uneven shaping surface for forming an uneven surface pattern on plastic articles. The plastics shaping mold is prepared by a method comprising the steps of superposing a resin material in a fluid state on a master in sheet form defining an uneven surface inverse to the uneven shaping surface to be formed, allowing the resin material to harden and removing the master, thereby to form the layer of hardened resin material defining the uneven shaping surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A mold for shaping a plastic material, which comprises a first mold portion and a second mold portion, a hardened resin layer of non-uniform thickness fixedly superposed on at least a pattern-defining portion of said first mold portion and adapted to be in contact with said plastic material, said hardened resin layer on said first mold portion having a pattern defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness, said pattern defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness being exposed toward said second mold portion for impressing a pattern defined surface of non-uniform thickness on said plastic material injected between said exposed pattern-defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness and said second mold portion, said hardened resin layer has a thickness of from about 0.2 mm to about 0.6 mm with said pattern defining surface of non-uniform thickness to be impressed on said plastic material being shallower than said resin layer thickness.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A mold for shaping a plastic material, which comprises a first mold portion and a second mold portion, a hardened resin layer of non-uniform thickness fixedly superposed on at least a pattern-defining portion of said first mold portion and adapted to be in contact with said plastic material, said hardened resin layer on said first mold portion having a pattern defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness, said pattern defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness being exposed toward said second mold portion for impressing a pattern defined surface of non-uniform thickness on said plastic material injected between said exposed pattern-defining shaping surface of non-uniform thickness and said second mold portion, said hardened resin layer has a thickness of from about 0.2 mm to about 0.6 mm with said pattern defining surface of non-uniform thickness to be impressed on said plastic material being shallower than said resin layer thickness.
