Press molded product and method for manufacturing molded product

A method for manufacturing a molded product in which a blank is pressed to obtain the molded product, the method comprising:

• situating the blank between a first metallic mold and a second metallic mold arranged apart from each other;
• and
• forming the molded product including a top plate, a vertical wall, and a flange by pressing the blank with the first metallic mold and the second metallic mold by bringing the first metallic mold and the second metallic mold close to each other,
• the blank being a steel plate that includes a first steel plate, and a reinforcing member having a plate thickness greater than a plate thickness of the first steel plate and/or having a strength greater than a strength of the first steel plate,
• the vertical wall being a plate-like portion that stands from an end of the top plate so as to surround the top plate;
• the flange being a plate-like portion that extends from the vertical wall in a direction intersecting the vertical wall and is situated to surround the top plate in a plan view perpendicular to the top plate,
• the blank including a top plate corresponding portion that represents a portion corresponding to the top plate, a vertical wall corresponding portion that represents a portion corresponding to the vertical wall, and a flange corresponding portion that represents a portion corresponding to the flange,
• the top plate corresponding portion being situated in the first steel plate,
• the reinforcing member being a portion having a length and situated in the flange corresponding portion,
• in the molded product, an edge of the reinforcing member on a side of the top plate extending roughly parallel to the ridgeline between the vertical wall and the flange, and
• an angle formed by the edge of the reinforcing member on the side of the top plate and the ridgeline in the molded product being smaller than an angle formed by an edge of the reinforcing member on a side of the top plate corresponding portion and a boundary between the vertical wall corresponding portion and the flange corresponding portion in the blank.
