Abstract
An interior member includes a first skin material, a second skin material, and transducers. The first skin material includes a first exposed part exposed to a cabin interior, and a first embedded part embedded on a cabin exterior side from the first exposed part. The second skin material includes a second exposed part exposed to the cabin interior and adjacent to the first exposed part, and a second embedded part embedded on the cabin exterior side from the second exposed part and joined to the first embedded part. The transducers each include a main body arranged directly back of the first exposed part, and a wiring part disposed directly back of at least the first embedded part and electrically connected to the main body. An end of each wiring part is disposed on the cabin exterior side of the first embedded part.
Claims11
An interior member comprising:
- a first skin material comprising:
- a first exposed part, exposed to a cabin interior;
- and
- a first embedded part, embedded on a cabin exterior side from the first exposed part;
- a second skin material comprising:
- a second exposed part, exposed to the cabin interior and adjacent to the first exposed part;
- and
- a second embedded part, embedded on the cabin exterior side from the second exposed part and joined to the first embedded part;
- a transducer comprising:
- a main body, disposed directly back of the first exposed part;
- and
- a wiring part, disposed directly back of at least the first embedded part and electrically connected to the main body, wherein
- an end of the wiring part is disposed on the cabin exterior side of the first embedded part;
- and
- a first stitch, suturing the first embedded part and the second embedded part while sewing the wiring part on a back surface of the first embedded part.
An interior member comprising:
- a first skin material comprising:
- a first exposed part, exposed to a cabin interior;
- and
- a first embedded part, embedded on a cabin exterior side from the first exposed part;
- a second skin material comprising:
- a second exposed part, exposed to the cabin interior and adjacent to the first exposed part;
- and
- a second embedded part, embedded on the cabin exterior side from the second exposed part and joined to the first embedded part;
- a transducer comprising:
- a main body, disposed directly back of the first exposed part;
- and
- a wiring part, disposed directly back of at least the first embedded part and electrically connected to the main body, wherein an end of the wiring part is disposed on the cabin exterior side of the first embedded part;
- and
- a flexible part, disposed on a back side of the first skin material, the second skin material, and the transducer, wherein the end of the wiring part is disposed on the cabin exterior side of the flexible part, wherein
- the main body comprises an input region where a predetermined physical quantity is input;
- the flexible part comprises a first region disposed on the back side of the input region, a second region adjacent to the first region, a high hardness region, and a low hardness region lower in hardness than the high hardness region;
- at least one of (a) and (b) below is satisfied:
- (a) one of the first region and the second region is the high hardness region and the other is the low hardness region;
- and
- (b) one of the two first regions comprised in the flexible part is the high hardness region and the other is the low hardness region;
- and
- the first exposed part comprises:
- a skin layer, having a light transmitting property;
- an intermediate layer, disposed on the back side of the skin layer and having a lower light transmitting property than the skin layer;
- a design layer, disposed on the back side of the intermediate layer and having a lower light transmitting property than the intermediate layer;
- and a recess, opening on at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the design layer;
- the first exposed part comprises a display region formed by the recess and displaying a predetermined design on a front surface of the first exposed part by light irradiated from the back side;
- as seen from a front side, the input region and the first region are disposed around the display region, and the second region is disposed in the display region;
- and
- the second region comprises a light introduction hole that introduces the light.
