A buckle includes a supporting member, a case, a lock portion and an illuminating unit. The case covers the supporting member. The lock portion is supported by the supporting member and is covered by the case to lock or unlock a tongue which is inserted into an insertion hole. An insertion hole is formed between the case and the lock portion. The illuminating unit illuminates both ends of the insertion hole of the tongue. The illuminating unit includes a light emitting unit, a light distribution unit, a first diffusing unit and a second diffusing unit. The light emitting unit emits light. The light distribution unit distributes the light emitted by the light emitting unit to form a first light beam and a second light beam. The first diffusing unit diffuses the first light beam. The second diffusing unit diffuses the second light beam.

A method of an emboss pattern process has steps of transferring an emboss pattern onto a thermoplastic resin sheet by using an emboss patterning roller; lustering the opposite face of the embossed face of the thermoplastic resin sheet by using a lustering means having a mirror face member; and peeling the thermoplastic resin sheet from the emboss patterning roller at a lower temperature than a temperature for transferring the emboss pattern. The emboss patterning roller has a roller body, having a face embossed with the pattern, and sealing rings attached on each side face of the roller body, in which the roller body and the sealing ring has a passage for flowing a cooling medium from one sealing ring through the roller body to the other sealing ring.
