The protrusion of the base material is housed in the bulge of the skin from the back side as a core material. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-5526 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in Patent Document 1, when the skin is stretched over the base material, or when the skin is thermally shrunk, a gap is formed between the bulging portion of the skin and the protruding portion of the base material, which may cause deformation.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to prevent an interior part with a skin from losing its shape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that the core material housed in the bulging portion is bonded to the bulging portion.

[0007] Specifically, the first invention is directed to an interior part with a skin that includes a base material and a skin disposed on the surface side of the base material, and provides the following solution.

[0008] That is, the first invention is characterized in that the skin has a bulge portion that bulges out on the front side, and a core material is housed inside the bulge portion of the skin and adhered to the bulge portion from the back side.

[0009] A second invention is characterized in that in the skinned interior part according to the first invention, the core material is made of an adhesive.

[0010] A third invention is characterized in that, in the interior part with skin according to the first or second invention, a cushion layer made of a material having cushioning properties is disposed on the front side of the base material, and the skin is disposed on the front side of the cushion layer.

[0011] The fourth invention is characterized in that, in the interior part with skin according to the first or second invention, a switch device is provided on the back side of the skin to detect pressure from the front side or the approach of a finger to a predetermined area in the vicinity of the bulge on the skin.

[0012] The fifth invention is characterized in that, in the interior part with skin according to the third invention, a switch device is provided on the back side of the skin to detect pressure from the front side or the approach of a finger to a predetermined area in the vicinity of the bulge in the skin. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the core material is bonded to the bulging portion of the skin from the back side, so that gaps are unlikely to form between the bulging portion of the skin and the core material when the skin is attached to the base material, when the skin is thermally shrunk, etc. Therefore, deformation of the skin-covered interior part due to such gaps can be suppressed.

[0014] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the core material can be attached to the skin simply by pouring adhesive into the bulging portion of the skin and allowing it to harden. This makes the assembly process easier than when adhesive is applied to the bulging portion of the skin or the core material and then a core material separate from the adhesive is placed in the bulging portion of the skin.

[0015] Furthermore, by pouring adhesive into the bulging portion of the skin, the core material can be attached to the skin, so the shape of the bulging portion of the skin can be set to a shape that makes it difficult to accommodate a solid core material, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in the shape of the bulging portion.

[0016] According to the third aspect of the invention, the cushion layer is provided between the bulging portion of the skin and the base material, so that the bulging portion of the skin feels soft to the touch.

[0017] Furthermore, when a finger or the like comes into contact with the bulging portion of the skin, the force acting on the bulging portion of the skin is absorbed by the cushion layer, so that wear and glossing of the bulging portion of the skin can be suppressed.

[0018] According to the fourth invention, if the user memorizes in advance the positional relationship between the bulge of the skin and the specified area, the user can recognize the position of the specified area simply by touching the bulge of the skin, making blind operation easier.

[0019] According to the fifth invention, if the user memorizes in advance the positional relationship between the bulge of the skin and the specified area, the user can recognize the position of the specified area simply by touching the bulge of the skin, making blind operation easier.

[0020] Furthermore, since a cushion layer is provided between the skin and the base material, the skin feels soft when a predetermined area is pressed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] (Embodiment 1) 1 shows a console 1 as an interior part with a skin according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which is installed between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of an automobile so as to extend in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle body. The console 1 includes a box 3 and a cover member 5. The box 3 includes a box body 3a that opens upward, and a lid 3b that is attached to the box body 3a in an openable and closable manner. When closed, the lid 3b can be used as an armrest.

[0024] The cover member 5 has a rectangular plate-shaped upper surface 5a that extends in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle body with its plate surface facing up and down below the lid 3b at the front of the box 3, and plate-shaped side surfaces 5b that protrude downward from both vehicle width direction edge portions of the upper surface 5a. The side surfaces 5b extend to the vicinity of the rear end of the box main body 3a and cover the lower half of the box main body 3a from both vehicle width direction sides.

[0025] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cover member 5 has a base material 7 that forms its main body. The base material 7 has a rectangular plate-shaped upper wall portion 7a that extends in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle body with its plate surface facing up and down, and plate-shaped side wall portions 7b that protrude downward from both ends of the upper wall portion 7a in the vehicle width direction. The side wall portions 7b extend to the vicinity of the rear end of the box main body 3a. The base material 7 is made of a hard resin such as polypropylene (PP), acrylic resin, or polycarbonate.

[0026] A stretchable skin 9 is disposed over the entire surface (front side) of the base material 7. The skin 9 is made of a stretchable material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane. The skin 9 is made of a light-transmitting resin layer 15. Two bulging portions 9a, which are linear in plan view and bulge out toward the front side, are formed at positions closer to both ends in the vehicle width direction than the center in the vehicle width direction in the area of the skin 9 overlapping the upper wall portion 7a, and extend parallel to each other in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle body with a semicircular cross section. Each bulging portion 9a is entirely filled with adhesive 11 serving as a core material made of a separate material from the base material 7 and is bonded to the bulging portion 9a from the back side. The adhesive 11 may be an acrylic, silicone, or urethane adhesive. Therefore, the cross section of the adhesive 11 contained in each bulging portion 9a is semicircular. The area of the skin 9 excluding the bulging portion 9a is adhered to the surface of the base material 7 with the whole or part of its back surface adhered to the surface of the base material 7 with the adhesive 11, and the end is fixed to the base material 7 with the end wrapped around the back side of the base material 7.

[0027] To manufacture the cover member 5 configured as described above, first, the skin 9 is prepared. Then, the bulging portion 9a is formed in the skin 9 by TOM (Three Dimension Overlay Method) molding, which is a vacuum / pressure forming method. Then, a liquid or gel adhesive 11 is poured into the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and cured by UV (ultraviolet) irradiation. In this manner, the core material made of the adhesive 11 can be assembled to the skin 9 simply by pouring the adhesive 11 into the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and curing it. This simplifies the assembly process compared to preparing a core material separate from the adhesive 11, applying the adhesive 11 to the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 or the core material, and then fitting the core material into the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9. Then, the skin 9 is stretched, and its back surface is bonded to the front surface of the substrate 7 with the adhesive 11, and its end is wrapped around the back side of the substrate 7 to be stretched (fixed) to the substrate 7. At this time, the skin 9 is stretched, but since the adhesive 11 is contained in the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and hardened, no gap is formed between the adhesive 11 and the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the surface of the cover member 5 from losing its shape due to the gap.

[0028] Therefore, according to the first embodiment, by forming the bulging portion 9a on the skin 9, the design of the cover member 5 is improved.

[0029] Furthermore, since the adhesive 11 is adhered to the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 from the back side as a core material, gaps are unlikely to form between the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and the adhesive 11 that forms the core material, even when the skin 9 is thermally shrunk, etc. Therefore, deformation of the surface of the cover member 5 due to such gaps can be prevented.

[0030] Furthermore, by pouring adhesive 11 into bulging portion 9a of skin 9, a core material made of adhesive 11 can be attached to skin 9, so the shape of bulging portion 9a of skin 9 can be set to a shape that makes it difficult to accommodate a solid core material. This increases the degree of freedom in the shape of bulging portion 9a.

[0031] (Embodiment 2) Fig. 4 is a view corresponding to Fig. 2 of embodiment 2. In embodiment 2, a cushion layer 13 is disposed on the surface (front side) of the upper wall portion 7a of the base material 7. A skin 9 is disposed on the front side of the cushion layer 13. The cushion layer 13 is made of a material having cushioning properties, such as urethane foam or silicone resin.

[0032] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, when the cover member 5 is manufactured, adhesive 11 is poured into the bulge portion 9a and hardened, and then the skin 9 is stretched, and the back surface of the skin 9 is adhered to the front surface of the cushion layer 13 and the base material 7 with adhesive 11, and the ends of the skin 9 are wrapped around the back side of the base material 7 to fix it to the cushion layer 13 and the base material 7. At this time, by eliminating or reducing the amount of adhesive 11 present between the upper surface of the cushion layer 13 and the area of the skin 9 where the bulge portion 9a is not formed, it is possible to prevent the adhesive 11 from affecting the tactile feel of the area of the upper surface of the skin 9 where the bulge portion 9a is not formed.

[0033] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the first embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] Therefore, according to the second embodiment, the cushion layer 13 is provided between the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and the base material 7, so that the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 feels soft to the touch. Furthermore, when a finger or the like touches the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9, the force acting on the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 is absorbed by the cushion layer 13, so that wear and glossing of the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 can be suppressed.

[0035] (Embodiment 3) FIG. 5 is a view corresponding to FIG. 2 of the third embodiment. In this third embodiment, a light-transmitting portion 7c made of a light-transmitting hard resin such as polypropylene (PP), acrylic resin, or polycarbonate is integrally formed in the middle of the upper wall portion 7a of the base material 7. The portion of the base material 7 excluding the light-transmitting portion 7c constitutes the light-shielding portion 7d. The region where the light-transmitting portion 7c is formed is indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 1. The skin 9 has two layers: a light-transmitting resin layer 15 and a light-shielding layer 17 colored with a black pigment. A portion (middle) of the region of the skin 9 overlapping with the light-transmitting portion 7c is made only of the light-transmitting resin layer 15, constituting a light-transmitting region 9b where the light-shielding layer 17 is not formed. The light-transmitting region 9b is formed in the shape of a predetermined mark. The light-transmitting region 9b is formed at a position sandwiched between the bulging portions 9a on both sides in the vehicle width direction. The portion of the skin 9 other than the light-transmitting region 9b is made up of two layers, a light-transmitting resin layer 15 and a light-shielding layer 17, and constitutes a light-shielding region 9c.

[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of bosses 7e are integrally formed on the light-shielding portion 7d of the upper wall portion 7a of the base material 7 to protrude downward. A resin substrate 19 is fastened to these bosses 7e with screws 21, with its component surface facing the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 from below. An LED 23 is disposed on the component surface of the substrate 19 as a light source. The LED 23 faces the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 from below. Therefore, when the LED 23 is turned on, the light L passes through the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 and the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9, and the shape of the light-transmitting region 9b appears on the surface of the skin 9.

[0037] To manufacture the skin 9 as described above, first, the skin 9 is molded so that it is entirely made up of two layers, the light-transmitting resin layer 15 and the light-shielding layer 17, and then a bulge 9a is formed in the skin 9 by TOM molding. Then, a part of the light-shielding layer 17 of the skin 9 is peeled off with a laser to form a light-transmitting region 9b. At this time, since the skin 9 has already been given a three-dimensional shape by TOM molding, it is easy to identify the position to irradiate the laser.

[0038] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the first embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0039] (Embodiment 4) Fig. 6 is a view corresponding to Fig. 5 of embodiment 4. In this embodiment 4, a cushion layer 13 is disposed on the surface (front side) of the upper wall portion 7a of the substrate 7. A first region 13a of the cushion layer 13 that overlaps with the light-transmitting portion 7c is made of a light-transmitting material with cushioning properties, such as urethane foam or silicone resin. On the other hand, a second region 13b of the cushion layer 13 excluding the first region 13a is made of a light-blocking material with cushioning properties, such as urethane foam or silicone resin. A skin 9 is disposed on the front side of the cushion layer 13.

[0040] In the fourth embodiment, when the cover member 5 is manufactured, adhesive 11 is poured into the bulge 9a and hardened, and then the skin 9 is stretched, and the back surface of the skin 9 is adhered to the front surface of the cushion layer 13 and the substrate 7 with adhesive 11, and the ends of the skin 9 are wrapped around the back side of the substrate 7 to be fixed to the cushion layer 13 and the substrate 7. At this time, by eliminating or reducing the amount of adhesive 11 present between the upper surface of the cushion layer 13 and the region of the skin 9 where the bulge 9a is not formed, it is possible to prevent the adhesive 11 from affecting the tactile feel of the region of the upper surface of the skin 9 where the bulge 9a is not formed.

[0041] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the third embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0042] Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, the cushion layer 13 is provided between the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and the base material 7, so that the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 feels soft to the touch. Furthermore, when a finger or the like touches the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9, the force acting on the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 is absorbed by the cushion layer 13, so that wear and glossing of the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 can be suppressed.

[0043] (Embodiment 5) FIG. 7 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 6 of the fifth embodiment. In this fifth embodiment, the light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7 is movable vertically relative to the light-shielding portion 7d. A downwardly projecting protruding wall portion 7f is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7. A guide wall portion 7g is integrally formed on the light-shielding portion 7d on the outer peripheral side of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7 so as to surround the protruding wall portion 7f. A tactile switch 25 is disposed on the component surface of the substrate 19 with its pressing surface facing the protruding wall portion 7f from the backside. One end of a compression coil spring 27 is attached to the component surface of the substrate 19, and the other end of the compression coil spring 27 is attached to the protruding wall portion 7f of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7. The light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7 and the tactile switch 25 constitute a switch device.

[0044] In the fifth embodiment, when the LED 23 is illuminated, the shape of the light-transmitting region 9b appears on the surface of the skin 9. The user then presses the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9, i.e., the region corresponding to the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7, with their finger to move the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 backward along the guide wall portion 7g against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 27, thereby pressing the pressing surface of the tactile switch 25 via the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 and the first region 13a of the cushion layer 13. The tactile switch 25 then detects the pressure on the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9 from the front side, and outputs the detection result to an audio device or a navigation device in the vehicle. The audio device or the navigation device in the vehicle then performs an operation according to the detection result received from the tactile switch 25. Furthermore, if the user memorizes the positional relationship between the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 and the light-transmitting region 9b in advance, the user can recognize the position of the light-transmitting region 9b simply by touching the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9, facilitating blind operation. When the user then removes his or her finger from the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9, the biasing force of the compression coil spring 27 causes the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 to rise along the guide wall portion 7g, and the pressing surface of the tactile switch 25 is no longer pressed.

[0045] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the fourth embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0046] Therefore, according to this embodiment 5, even if the surface of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 is positioned on the front side of the light-shielding portion 7d due to variations in assembly, the area of the cushion layer 13 that overlaps with the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 can be elastically deformed thinly, and the surface of the cushion layer 13 can be maintained in a smooth shape, thereby preventing the formation of a step on the surface of the skin 9 at the location corresponding to the boundary between the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7 and the light-shielding portion 7d.

[0047] (Embodiment 6) 8 is a view corresponding to FIG. 6 of the sixth embodiment. In this sixth embodiment, an electrostatic sensor 29 serving as a sheet-like switch device having light transmission properties is disposed on the back surface of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the substrate 7. The electrostatic sensor 29 includes a transparent film substrate and a plurality of transparent electrodes formed on the film substrate. The electrostatic sensor 29 detects the approach of a finger to the transparent electrodes from the front side.

[0048] In the sixth embodiment, when the LED 23 is illuminated, the shape of the light-transmitting region 9b appears on the surface of the skin 9. When a user brings a finger close to the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9, i.e., the region corresponding to the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7, from the front side, the electrostatic sensor 29 detects the approach of the finger from the front side to the light-transmitting region 9b of the skin 9, and the detection result is output to an audio device or a navigation device in the vehicle. The audio device or the navigation device in the vehicle then performs an operation according to the detection result received from the electrostatic sensor 29. At this time, if the user has previously memorized the positional relationship between the bulge 9a of the skin 9 and the light-transmitting region 9b, the user can recognize the position of the light-transmitting region 9b simply by touching the bulge 9a of the skin 9, making it easier to operate the blinds.

[0049] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the fourth embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0050] (Embodiment 7) Fig. 9 is a view corresponding to Fig. 8 of embodiment 7. In this embodiment 7, the skin 9 is composed only of a light-transmitting resin layer 15. A concealing layer 31 is formed by painting on the surface of the light-transmitting portion 7c of the base material 7, and a peeled portion 33 is formed by peeling off the approximate center of the concealing layer 31 with a laser.

[0051] The rest of the configuration and manufacturing method of the cover member 5 are the same as those in the sixth embodiment, so the same components are given the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0052] Therefore, according to the seventh embodiment, the peel-off portion 33 is formed on the base material 7, and therefore, positional deviation of the peel-off portion 33 can be suppressed compared to when the peel-off portion 33 is formed on the skin 9, which is stretched when stretched over the base material 7.

[0053] In the seventh embodiment, the concealing layer 31 and the peeling portion 33 are formed on the surface of the base material 7, but they may be formed on the front or back surface of the first region 13a of the cushion layer 13.

[0054] In addition, in the above-described first to seventh embodiments, the cross section of the adhesive 11 contained in the bulging portion 9a is semicircular, and the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 is formed to have a semicircular cross section. However, the cross section of the adhesive 11 contained in the bulging portion 9a may be trapezoidal, gradually widening downward, and the bulging portion 9a may be shaped to fit the top and both side surfaces of the trapezoidal cross section of the adhesive 11. Furthermore, the cross section of the adhesive 11 contained in the bulging portion 9a may be triangular, gradually widening downward, and the bulging portion 9a may be shaped to fit the both side surfaces of the trapezoidal cross section of the adhesive 11.

[0055] In the above-described first to seventh embodiments, the core material housed in the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 is the adhesive 11. However, as shown in Fig. 10, the core material 35 may be made of a material separate from the adhesive 11 and may be adhered to the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 by the adhesive 11. In this case, the core material 35 may be made of hard resin, elastomer, iron, wood, or the like. The adhesive strength between the bulging portion 9a and the core material 35 may be the adhesive strength of an adhesive, i.e., a strength strong enough to allow the bulging portion 9a to be peeled off.

[0056] In addition, in the above-described first to seventh embodiments, the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 is formed linearly in a plan view, but it may be formed in a plurality of dots in a plan view. Also, the bulging portion 9a of the skin 9 may be formed in a rectangular ring shape, a circular ring shape, or an E-shape that opens toward the rear of the vehicle in a plan view.

[0057] In the above-described fifth to seventh embodiments, the region in which the switch device detects pressing from the front side or the approach of a finger is located between the bulging portions 9a on both sides in the vehicle width direction. However, the region in which the switch device detects pressing from the front side or the approach of a finger may be a predetermined region near the bulging portions 9a, specifically, a region 0 to 10 cm away from the bulging portions 9a. Furthermore, if the bulging portions 9a of the skin 9 are formed in a rectangular or circular ring shape in plan view, the region in which the switch device detects pressing from the front side or the approach of a finger may be a region surrounded by the bulging portions 9a. Furthermore, if the bulging portions 9a of the skin 9 are formed in an E-shape in plan view, the region in which the switch device detects pressing from the front side or the approach of a finger may be a region surrounded on three sides by the bulging portions 9a.

[0058] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiments 3 to 6, the two-layer skin 9 is formed before the light-transmitting region 9b is formed by laser irradiation, but the light-shielding layer 17 may be formed by forming the skin 9 consisting of only the light-transmitting resin layer 15 and painting the entire skin 9.

[0059] Furthermore, in the above-described third to sixth embodiments, the light-shielding layer 17 is formed on the skin 9, but it may be formed on the base material 7, with the skin 9 consisting of only the light-transmitting resin layer 15. By forming the light-shielding layer 17 on the base material 7, it is possible to suppress misalignment of the light-transmitting region where the light-shielding layer 17 is not formed, compared to when the light-shielding layer 17 is formed on the skin 9, which is stretched when stretched over the base material 7.

[0060] The present invention can also be applied to interior parts other than consoles, such as instrument panels, door trim panels, armrests, and console box lid parts.

[0061] Furthermore, the adhesive 11 may be one that cures by a method other than UV curing, such as a moisture curing type. [Industrial Applicability]

[0062] The present invention is useful as a skinned interior part including a base material and a skin disposed on the surface side of the base material. [Explanation of symbols]
