SOLUTION: The opening and closing plate for a passage at a ticket gate has a cutout formed in part of a polyolefin foam plate on one or both sides. A member made of another polyolefin foam plate having approximately the same thickness as the former polyolefin foam plate and an outer diameter approximately equal to the inner diameter of the cutout and having a color different from the former polyolefin foam plate is fitted into the cutout. The two polyolefin foam plates are placed on both sides of an iron plate and integrated together by press molding. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
