Abstract
Abstract In a metal part in which a rubber is adhered to a portion or the whole of a surface thereof, and a surface treating method of the metal part to improve adhesive property between the metal and the rubber, to make it easy to form a surface roughness in a portion of a metal part, and to achieve an improvement in the surface roughness and mold maintenance property, a reduction of working cost, and a reduction of man hour. A surface roughness for increasing adhesive property between the metal and the rubber is formed in a portion of the metal part to which the rubber is adhered, and the surface roughness is transcribed from a mold to the metal part by providing with a surface roughness in the mold. A magnitude of the surface roughness is preferably set to be 10 μm or more and less than 60 μm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A surface treating method of a metal part in order to form a surface roughness for increasing an adhesive property between the metal part and a rubber on a portion, to which the rubber is adhered, in a surface of the metal part, comprising the steps of: providing a surface roughness in a mold for working said metal part; transcribing the surface roughness from said mold to said metal part at a time of working; and adhering the rubber only to the portion of the metal part with the surface roughness to achieve an improved adhesion and form a seal lip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A surface treating method of a metal part in order to form a surface roughness for increasing an adhesive property between the metal part and a rubber on a portion, to which the rubber is adhered, in a surface of the metal part, comprising the steps of: providing a surface roughness in a mold for working said metal part; transcribing the surface roughness from said mold to said metal part at a time of working; and adhering the rubber only to the portion of the metal part with the surface roughness to achieve an improved adhesion and form a seal lip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The surface treating method of a metal part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a magnitude of the surface roughness formed on the surface of the metal part for the purpose of increasing the adhesive property between the metal and the rubber is set to be 10 μm or more and less than 60 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The surface treating method of a metal part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a magnitude of the surface roughness formed on the surface of the metal part for the purpose of increasing the adhesive property between the metal and the rubber is set to be 10 μm or more and 40 μm or less.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The surface treating method of a metal part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein recess portions which are deeper than said surface roughness are additionally provided in a roughness applying portion in the mold in which the surface roughness is previously provided.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
113 words
A method to prevent two or more metal parts from binding to each other after the metal parts are simultaneously dipped in an adhesive agent solution and said adhesive agent solution is applied to the metal parts, comprising the steps of: providing a surface roughness in a mold for working each of said metal parts; transcribing the surface roughness from said mold to said each of metal parts at a time of working each of said metal parts; simultaneously dipping said metal parts into said adhesive agent solution after transcribing; and adhering a rubber only to a portion of each of the metal parts with the surface roughness to achieve an improved adhesion.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
113 words
A method to prevent two or more metal parts from binding to each other after the metal parts are simultaneously dipped in an adhesive agent solution and said adhesive agent solution is applied to the metal parts, comprising the steps of: providing a surface roughness in a mold for working each of said metal parts; transcribing the surface roughness from said mold to said each of metal parts at a time of working each of said metal parts; simultaneously dipping said metal parts into said adhesive agent solution after transcribing; and adhering a rubber only to a portion of each of the metal parts with the surface roughness to achieve an improved adhesion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a magnitude of the surface roughness formed on the contact surface of each of said metal parts for the purpose of preventing the metal parts from being bonded to each other is set to be 10 μm or more and less than 60 μm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
53 words
The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a magnitude of the surface roughness formed on the contact surface of each of said metal parts for the purpose of preventing the metal parts from being bonded to each other is set to be 10 μm or more and 40 μm or less.
