Abstract

A method for manufacturing a coated product for suppressing the occurrence of sagging or cracking at an outer corner curved surface part of a coated product, includes: transporting a laminate in which a decorative material is bonded to a surface of the substrate; heating a bending margin of the decorative material projecting outward from a side surface of the substrate during transport of the laminate; and bending the bending margin heated in the heating step during transport of the laminate in a non-heated state to bond the bending margin to the side surface of the substrate. During heating, the bending margin being heated is bent in a half-folded state toward the side surface of the substrate. During bonding, the bending margin bent in the half-folded state in the heating step is further bent to be bonded to the side surface of the substrate.

Claims (19)

1. A method for manufacturing a coated product in which a surface and a side surface of a substrate are coated with a decorative material, the method comprising:

a transport step of transporting a laminate in which the decorative material is bonded to the surface of the substrate;

a heating step of heating a bending margin of the decorative material projecting outward from the side surface of the substrate during transport of the laminate; and

a bonding step of bending the bending margin heated in the heating step during transport of the laminate in a non-heated state to bond the bending margin to the side surface of the substrate,

wherein, in the heating step, the bending margin being heated is bent in a half-folded state toward the side surface of the substrate, and

wherein, in the bonding step, the bending margin bent in the half-folded state in the heating step is further bent to be bonded to the side surface of the substrate.

2. The method for manufacturing a coated product according to claim 1 , wherein, in the bonding step, a tip of the bending margin is brought into abutment on an abutment base when the bending margin is bonded to the side surface of the substrate.

3. The method for manufacturing a coated product according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the heating step, the bending margin is heated by a heater and bent by a first bending member that is arranged so as to face the heater, and

wherein, in the bonding step, the bending margin is bent by a second bending member that is arranged so as to be spaced apart from the heater on a downstream side in a transport direction of the laminate.

4. The method for manufacturing a coated product according to claim 3 , wherein the first bending member is provided so as to be switchable between a facing state in which it faces the heater and a retracting state in which it retracts to a lateral side of the heater.

5. The method for manufacturing a coated product according to claim 3 , wherein, in the heating step, the bending margin is bent by being brought into abutment on an inclined surface formed in the first bending member.

6. The method for manufacturing a coated product according to claim 1 , wherein, in the heating step, the bending margin is bent at a bending angle of 30 to 70% of the total bending angle when the bending margin is bonded to the side surface of the substrate.

7. A device for manufacturing a coated product in which a surface and a side surface of a substrate are coated with a decorative material, the device comprising:

a transport unit that transports a laminate in which the decorative material is bonded to the surface of the substrate;

a heating unit that heats a bending margin of the decorative material projecting outward from the side surface of the substrate during transport of the laminate; and

a bonding unit that bonds the bending margin heated in the heating unit during transport of the laminate in a non-heated state to bond the bending margin to the side surface of the substrate,

wherein the heating units bends the bending margin being heated in a half-folded state toward the side surface of the substrate, and

wherein the bonding unit further bends the bending margin bent in the half-folded state in the heating unit to bond the bending margin to the side surface of the substrate.
