Abstract
A vehicle interior part includes a structure in which a soft upholstery material covers a front surface of a base material which is located on an interior side of a vehicle. The soft upholstery material is disposed in a stretched state on the front surface of the base material which is located on the interior side of the vehicle.
Claims8
A vehicle interior part including a structure in which a soft upholstery material covers a front surface of a base material which is located on an interior side of a vehicle,
- the soft upholstery material being disposed in a stretched state on the front surface of the base material which is located on the interior side of the vehicle,
- the vehicle interior part including a structure in which a projecting rib formed on a terminal portion of the base material so as to project in a plane direction of the base material is retained in an engagement hole formed in a fold-back terminal portion of the soft upholstery material,
- an inward flange portion being formed at a position adjacent to the projecting rib on the terminal portion of the base material so as to project toward a design surface side,
- the projecting rib having a tilted surface formed on the design surface side and tilted with respect to a direction in which the projecting rib projects so as to be continuous from a tip end surface of the inward flange portion to a tip end of the projecting rib such that the projecting rib becomes gradually thinner toward its tip end in the direction in which the projecting rib projects, and
- the projecting rib projecting from a peripheral edge portion of the terminal portion of the base material at a position closer to a surface of the base material located on an opposite side from the design surface side, in a thickness direction of the terminal portion of the base material.
A vehicle interior part including a structure in which a soft upholstery material covers a front surface of a base material which is located on an interior side of a vehicle,
- the soft upholstery material being disposed in a stretched state on the front surface of the base material which is located on the interior side of the vehicle,
- the vehicle interior part being a vehicle composite interior part including a first member which is the base material and a second member that are fitted on each other, and the soft upholstery material that is elastically deformable, that has the fold-back terminal portion and that partially or entirely covers a front surface of the first member with the fold-back terminal portion being held between a mating surface of the first member and a mating surface of the second member, and
- at least one of the soft upholstery material and the second member including a tensile force generating portion that, as the mating surfaces of the first and second members are moved toward each other, pulls the fold-back terminal portion of the soft upholstery material toward a back surface of the first member to apply a tensile force to the soft upholstery material.
