Abstract
In a skin material of vehicle interior equipment, which includes a first fabric material that is formed of a first conductive wire material and a main fiber material weaker than the first conductive wire material, and a manufacturing method for the skin material, part of the main fiber material is removed from the first fabric material, and a conductive member, which is used to supply electric power to the conductive wire material, is electrically connected to the exposed first conductive wire material.
Claims9
A skin material of vehicle interior equipment, comprising:
- a first fabric material including a first conductive wire material and a main fiber material that has a mechanical strength that is weaker than a mechanical strength of the first conductive wire material;
- and
- a conductive member, which is used to supply electric power to the first conductive wire material, is electrically connected to a portion of the first conductive wire material that is exposed from the first fabric material, wherein
- the conductive member wraps around and covers the exposed portion of the first conductive wire material and is sewn to front and back surfaces of the first fabric material.
