DECORATIVE TRIM STRIP WITH ENHANCED DEPTH OF VISION

摘要

A flexible trimstrip especially useful on an automobile's exterior surface provides a decorative appearance with enhanced depth of vision. The trim strip comprises an elongated transparent or translucent core (11) of a plastic material. A bottom surface of the core is covered with an opaque layer (12/13) and an adhesive layer (14). A top surface of the core has a thin covering of a metal (16) having a mirror-like appearance with selected portions removed so that a pattern of the underlying opaque layer is revealed. A transparent plastic overlay (17) is formed over the top covering of metal (16). The overlay (17) has radiused edges (18) to give enhanced depth of vision to the trim strip.
