Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to vehicle door trim. [Background technology]

[0002] A technology described in Patent Document 1 is known as a conventional vehicle door trim. The door trim described in Patent Document 1 is equipped with a door inside handle box that rotatably holds a door inside handle used to open, close, or lock a vehicle door. In this door trim, two cables (door operation cables) connected to the door inside handle are pulled out from the door inside handle box to the outside of the vehicle and extend to a door opening / closing lock mechanism. A vehicle door can be obtained by attaching this door trim to a door inner panel. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-290256 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, mounting members such as screws may be used when attaching the door trim to the door inner panel (door panel). However, depending on the mounting location on the door trim where the mounting member is attached and the position and shape of the cable, the cable may be close to the mounting location and get in the way of the installation work of the mounting member. In this case, for example, a worker must avoid the cable when performing the installation work, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0005] The present disclosure is a technology completed based on the above circumstances, and has an object to provide a vehicle door trim that can be smoothly attached to a door panel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle door trim comprising: a trim portion attached to a door panel that constitutes a door; an inside handle attached to the trim portion; and a cable having one end connected to the inside handle and the other end connected to a locking device that locks the door; the trim portion having an opening that penetrates from the inside to the outside of the vehicle; the opening having an opening inner wall portion that constitutes an inner wall and an inner edge portion that is located on the inside of the vehicle compartment of the opening inner wall portion; the inside handle being attached to the inner edge portion in a connected state with the one end of the cable connected to the inside handle; the opening inner wall portion having an attachment portion that serves as an attachment point for the trim portion to the door panel; and a regulating portion that regulates the cable from moving toward the attachment portion when the inside handle in the connected state is attached to the inner edge portion from the inside of the vehicle compartment.

[0007] With this vehicle door trim, when the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion, the restricting portion restricts the movement of the cable toward the attachment portion, so that when attaching an attachment member such as a screw to the attachment portion, the cable does not come close to the attachment portion and get in the way, and for example, a worker does not need to avoid the cable when performing the attachment work, which allows for smooth attachment to the door panel at the attachment portion.

[0008] In the above configuration, the mounting portion is provided on the inner wall main body portion of the opening inner wall portion, and the regulating portion may be configured to extend from the lower side of the mounting portion on the inner wall main body portion upward on the vehicle cabin side beyond the one end of the cable, or to extend from the upper side of the mounting portion downward on the vehicle cabin side beyond the one end of the cable.

[0009] According to this vehicle door trim, when the inside handle in a connected state is attached to the inner edge portion, if one end of the cable approaches the inner wall main body portion, the cable abuts against the surface of the restricting portion opposite the mounting portion, allowing the cable to be accommodated within the opening so as to avoid the mounting portion. For example, if the restricting portion is configured to extend from the lower side of the mounting portion on the inner wall main body portion upward in the vehicle cabin interior beyond one end of the cable, the cable abuts against the lower surface of the restricting portion when the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion, allowing the cable to be accommodated below the mounting portion across the restricting portion. On the other hand, if the restricting portion is configured to extend from the upper side of the mounting portion downward in the vehicle cabin interior beyond one end of the cable, the cable abuts against the upper surface of the restricting portion when the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion, allowing the cable to be accommodated above the mounting portion across the restricting portion.

[0010] In the above configuration, the mounting portion is provided on the inner wall main body portion of the opening inner wall portion, and the regulating portion is shaped in the inner wall main body portion so as to extend upward from the lower side of the mounting portion toward the inside of the vehicle cabin, and the end portion of the regulating portion on the inside of the vehicle cabin may be located higher than the mounting portion.

[0011] With this vehicle door trim, even if the cable approaches the mounting portion from inside the vehicle cabin when the connected inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion, the end of the restricting portion on the inside of the vehicle cabin prevents the cable from approaching the mounting portion, and the cable can be separated from the mounting portion and contained below the restricting portion. Furthermore, after the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion, the mounting portion can be seen from another opening above the opening inner wall portion where a switch base or the like is attached, so that the mounting portion can be smoothly attached from such another opening.

[0012] In the above configuration, the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion by having one end of each of its two ends in the fore-and-aft direction abut the inner edge portion and the other end rotating toward the outside of the vehicle compartment, and in the connected state, the one end of the cable is connected to the other end side of the inside handle, and the regulating portion may regulate the cable from moving toward the mounting portion as the inside handle rotates.

[0013] With this vehicle door trim, the inside handle is attached to the inner edge portion while the other end is rotated, which makes it difficult for the one end of the cable connected to the other end to move closer to the restricting portion, making it easier for the restricting portion to restrict the movement of the cable toward the attachment portion. This makes it easier to attach the inside handle to the inner edge portion and the attachment member to the attachment portion.

[0014] In the above configuration, the trim portion may include a trim main body portion and an armrest that bulges from the trim main body portion toward the interior of the vehicle, and the inner edge portion may be provided on the armrest.

[0015] With this configuration, it is possible to provide a vehicle door trim that can be smoothly attached to the door panel at the attachment portion while improving design and convenience. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a vehicle door trim that can be smoothly attached to a door panel. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0018] <Embodiment> An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 7. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a door trim (vehicle door trim) 100 will be described which is attached to a door panel 101 constituting a door 102 of an automobile (car) as a vehicle. Note that the drawings will be described with the arrow F indicating the forward direction, the arrow R indicating the rearward direction, the arrow U indicating the upward direction, the arrow D indicating the downward direction, the arrow IN indicating the inside of the vehicle cabin (inside of the vehicle cabin), and the arrow OUT indicating the outside of the vehicle cabin (outside of the vehicle cabin). Also, a switch base 6 is omitted from Figs. 2, 4, and 7.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2 , the door 102 includes a door panel 101 made of sheet metal and a door trim 100 attached to the door panel 101 from the inside of the vehicle cabin. The door panel 101 is provided with a locking device 110 that can lock the openable door 102 in a closed state. Two cables 8 and 9 extending from an inside handle 10 (described later) are connected to the locking device 110. When a predetermined operation is performed on the inside handle 10, the locking device 110 unlocks the door 102 via the cable 8 or the cable 9. Once the door 102 is unlocked by the locking device 110, it becomes possible to open the door. Note that the routing paths of the cables 8 and 9 between the door trim 100 and the door panel 101 (on the outside of the vehicle cabin of the door trim 100) are not particularly limited. The other ends 8B and 9B of the cables 8 and 9 may be bundled together to form a single cable, which may be connected to the locking device 110.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the door trim 100 includes a trim section 1 formed by combining multiple structural elements to form a plate-like overall shape; an inside handle 10 attached to the trim section 1 from the inside of the vehicle cabin; and a plate-like switch base 6 on which multiple switches are provided. The trim section 1 includes a plate-like trim main body 2 that constitutes the majority of the trim section 1 and has a plate surface extending in the up-down and front-rear directions; an armrest 5 that bulges into the vehicle cabin from the center of the trim main body 2 in the up-down direction and extends in the front-rear direction; and a plate-like ornament board 4 whose plate surface extends rearward and upward from the armrest 5. The trim main body 2 includes an upper portion 2A located above the armrest 5 and a lower portion 2B located below the armrest 5. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the armrest 5 (pull handle 52) and ornament board 4 of the trim section 1 are attached to the door panel 101 from the inside of the vehicle cabin by threading multiple screws 70, 71.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the armrest 5 includes an upper wall 51 extending from the ornament board 4 toward the interior of the vehicle cabin. The upper wall 51 is on which a passenger can place their arm. The pull handle 52 is recessed downward from the center of the upper wall 51 in the longitudinal direction toward the exterior of the vehicle cabin. The side wall 50 extends downward from the end of the upper wall 51 facing the interior of the vehicle cabin. The side wall 50 curves toward the exterior as it extends downward and connects to the lower part 2B of the trim main body 2. The side wall 50 is integrally molded with the lower part 2B of the trim main body 2. The front end 51A of the upper wall 51 is shaped like a narrow plate extending in the longitudinal direction. A switch base 6 is attached from above to an upper edge 27 formed by the front end 51A and the upper part 2A of the trim main body 2. The switch base 6 is attached after the door trim 100 is attached to the door panel 101.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, pull handle 52 includes bottom wall portion 52A, which forms the bottom of pull handle 52 and has a plate surface that extends horizontally; inclined wall portion 52B, which rises upward from the front end of bottom wall portion 52A and slopes toward the interior of the vehicle as it extends rearward; and curved wall portion 52C, which rises from the interior and rear ends of bottom wall portion 52A and curves toward the exterior of the vehicle as it extends rearward. Attached to the underside of bottom wall portion 52A is curved member 53 (see Fig. 7), which has one end extending from the underside of bottom wall portion 52A toward the exterior of the vehicle, a middle portion curved upward, and the other end extending toward the interior of door panel 101. Curved member 53 is attached to door panel 101 by screwing screws 71. 2 and 3, the ornament board 4 includes an ornament main body 4B that forms the majority of the ornament board 4, and an extension 4A that is located outside the passenger compartment of the pull handle 52 and extends from the front side of the ornament main body 4B to the bottom wall 52A. An occupant can insert their fingers into the space between the pull handle 52 and the extension 4A and grasp, for example, the curved wall 52C to open or close the door 102.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , the trim portion 1 has an opening 20 that penetrates in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle interior and through which a cable 8 is inserted. The opening 20 is mainly composed of the trim main body 2, a front end portion 51A of a side wall portion 50 and an upper wall portion 51 of the armrest 5, a pull handle 52, and an ornament board 4. The opening 20 has an opening inner wall portion 21 that forms the inner wall of the opening 20, an inner edge portion 25 located on the inner side of the vehicle interior of the opening inner wall portion 21, an outer edge portion 26 located on the outer side of the opening inner wall portion 21, and an upper edge portion 27 located above the opening inner wall portion 21. The opening inner wall portion 21 is a portion disposed in front of an inclined wall portion 52B of the pull handle 52 and is a part of the pull handle 52. The inner wall main body 22 of the opening inner wall 21 is fastened together with the front end 4A1 of the extension 4A of the ornament board 4 to the door panel 101 by screwing in screws 70 (mounting members). By fastening together with the screws 70, the pull handle 52 and the ornament board 4 are attached to the door panel 101 from the inside of the vehicle compartment.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper edge 27 is an edge portion formed by the front end 51A of the upper wall 51 and the upper portion 2A of the trim main body 2. The upper edge 27 is closed by attaching the plate-shaped switch base 6 from above. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the outer edge 26 is an edge portion formed by at least the upper portion 2A and lower portion 2B of the trim main body 2 and the front end 4A1 of the extension portion 4A of the ornament board 4. The outer edge 26 is generally located further outward and forward of the interior compartment than the inner edge 25 and the opening inner wall 21. The opening 20 forms a diagonally penetrating passageway (a space that extends more rearward as it approaches the interior of the compartment) that runs from the outer edge 26 through the opening inner wall 21 toward the inner edge 25.

[0025] The inner edge portion 25 is provided in the center portion in the front-to-rear direction of the side wall portion 50 of the armrest 5, on the interior side of the vehicle of the pull handle 52 (more specifically, the inclined wall portion 52B and the curved wall portion 52C). The inner edge portion 25 has a trapezoidal frame shape with its long sides in the front-to-rear direction and its length in the front-to-rear direction decreasing downward.

[0026] The inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25 from inside the vehicle cabin. The inside handle 10 includes a storage portion 11 having a frame-shaped surface facing the interior of the vehicle cabin, a handle portion 12 stored in the storage portion 11 with the surface facing the interior of the vehicle cabin exposed, a pivot shaft 13 that rotatably attaches the handle portion 12 to the storage portion 11, and a first connection portion 14 to which the cable 8 is connected. The storage portion 11 includes a rear protrusion 11A that is a rear end (one end) of both end portions 11A, 11B of the inside handle 10 in the fore-and-aft direction and protrudes rearward, a front protrusion 11B that is a front end (the other end) of both end portions 11A, 11B and protrudes forward, and a holding portion 11C that can hold the cable 9.

[0027] 1 to 3 and 6, the handle portion 12 includes a hook portion 12A at the front end where an occupant can hook their fingers, a pressing portion 12B located behind the hook portion 12A and which the occupant can press with their fingers, and a second connection portion 12C located behind the first connection portion 14 and to which the cable 9 is connected. When the occupant pulls the hook portion 12A toward the interior of the vehicle, the hook portion 12A can be rotated about a rotation shaft 13 toward the interior of the vehicle (in the direction of arrow X in FIG. 3).

[0028] Hereinafter, the two cables 8, 9 will be referred to as the first cable 8 and the second cable 9. The first cable 8 is an electric wire capable of transmitting an electrical signal to the locking device 110. One end 8A of the first cable 8 is connected to the end 14A of the first connection part 14 on the outside of the vehicle compartment, and the other end 8B is connected to the locking device 110. The second cable 9 is made of a material that is more rigid and less likely to bend than the first cable 8. One end 9A of the second cable 9 is connected to the second connection part 12C of the inside handle 10, and the other end 9B is connected to the locking device 110.

[0029] When the pressing portion 12B of the inside handle 10 is pressed, the inside handle 10 sends an unlock signal from the first connection portion 14 to the locking device 110 via the first cable 8, electrically unlocking the door 102 of the locking device 110. In normal operation, an occupant can electrically unlock the door 102 by pressing the pressing portion 12B with, for example, their thumb, and then insert their fingers other than the thumb into the pull handle 52 to push the door 102 outward, thereby smoothly opening the door 102. On the other hand, when the hooking portion 12A of the inside handle 10 is rotated in the direction of arrow X, the second connection portion 12C, which is linked to the rotation, pulls the second cable 9 forward toward the inside of the vehicle, thereby mechanically unlocking the door 102 of the locking device 110. In an emergency such as when the battery is dead, the occupant can mechanically unlock the door 102 by pulling the hook portion 12A and push the door 102 outward to open it.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 2, 6, and 7, a state in which one end 8A of the first cable 8 is connected to the first connection portion 14 (on the front protrusion 11B side in the front-to-rear direction of the inside handle 10) and one end 9A of the second cable 9 is connected to the second connection portion 12C (on the rear protrusion 11A side in the front-to-rear direction of the inside handle 10) is referred to as a connected state. Also, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5, a state in which the inside handle 10 in the connected state is attached to the inner edge portion 25 is referred to as an attached state. After the inside handle 10 is connected on the passenger compartment side of the inner edge portion 25, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the rear protrusion 11A can be hooked on the passenger compartment outer surface of the inner rear edge portion 25A that forms the rear edge of the inner edge portion 25, and the front protrusion 11B can be rotated outward from the passenger compartment (in the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 6) around the rear protrusion 11A as a rotation axis. Then, as the front protrusion 11B rotates in the Y direction, the front protrusion 11B passes over the inner front edge portion 25B, which forms the front edge of the inner edge portion 25, on the outside of the vehicle compartment, and the inside handle 10 is attached by fitting it into the inner edge portion 25 from the inside of the vehicle compartment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, and is in an attached state.

[0031] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, opening inner wall portion 21 includes: a plate-shaped inner wall main body portion 22 that extends forward from front end portion 52B1 of inclined wall portion 52B of pull handle 52 and is inclined toward the outside of the vehicle cabin as it extends upward; an attachment portion 24 that is provided in inner wall main body portion 22 and has the shape of a hole that penetrates from the inside to the outside of the vehicle cabin and into which a screw 70 is screwed, and serves as a mounting point for pull handle 52 and ornament board 4 to door panel 101; and a regulating portion 23 that extends in inner wall main body portion 22 from the underside of attachment portion 24, inclining upward as it extends toward the inside of the vehicle cabin.

[0032] The restricting portion 23 includes a trapezoidal portion 23A that rises at a right angle from the inner wall main body portion 22 and has a trapezoidal shape when viewed from above, the trapezoidal portion 23A having a width in the front-to-rear direction that decreases toward the interior of the vehicle cabin, and a rectangular portion 23B that is disposed on the interior side of the trapezoidal portion 23A and has a rectangular shape when viewed from above and a width in the front-to-rear direction that is smaller than that of the trapezoidal portion 23A. A front end 23C of the restricting portion 23 extends perpendicular to the interior side of the vehicle cabin of the inner wall main body portion 22. Rear ends 23A1 and 23A2 of the trapezoidal portion 23A extend at an inclination forward as they extend from the inner wall main body portion 22 toward the interior of the vehicle cabin. The rear ends 23A1 and 23A2 include an outer rear end 23A1 and an inner rear end 23A2 that is located more interior than the outer rear end 23A1 and extends at a more forward inclination than the outer rear end 23A1 as it extends toward the interior of the vehicle cabin.

[0033] 3 and 4, a tip 23B1 of the square portion 23B on the interior side of the vehicle cabin (the end portion of the restricting portion 23 on the interior side of the vehicle cabin) is located higher than the mounting portion 24. When the inside handle 10 is in the mounted state, the tip 23B1 is located on the interior side of the vehicle cabin and forward and upward than one end 8A of the first cable 8 (the restricting portion 23 extends upward and on the interior side of the vehicle cabin than one end 8A of the first cable 8). The tip 23B1 is located on the interior side of the vehicle cabin than the end 14A of the first connecting portion 14 on the exterior side of the vehicle cabin.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 5, an attachment portion 24 is located on the upper surface of the restricting portion 23. On the other hand, two ribs 23D, 23E, which are triangular in front view and rise from the inner wall main body portion 22 and reinforce the restricting portion 23, are connected to the lower surface of the restricting portion 23. The ribs 23D, 23E are composed of a front rib 23D and a rear rib 23E that is arranged rearward of the front rib 23D and is slightly smaller than the front rib 23D. An end surface 23E1 on the interior side of the rear rib 23E is located closer to the exterior of the vehicle cabin than an end surface 23D1 on the interior side of the front rib 23D, and is shorter in the up-down direction.

[0035] When the inside handle 10 is in the attached state, the restricting portion 23 routes the first cable 8 from the rear ends 23A1, 23A2 of the trapezoidal portion 23A below the end face 23E1 of the rear rib 23E and below the end face 23D1 of the front rib 23D (below the trapezoidal portion 23A and the square portion 23B). In this way, the restricting portion 23 restricts the first cable 8 from moving over the tip end 23B1 of the square portion 23B toward the attachment portion 24.

[0036] 6 and 7, when the inside handle 10 is connected to the inside of the vehicle cabin of the inner edge 25, and the rear protrusion 11A is hooked onto the exterior surface of the inner rear edge 25A, and the front protrusion 11B is rotated toward the outside of the vehicle cabin (in the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 6) around the rear protrusion 11A as a rotation axis, the first cable 8 enters below the tip 23B1 of the square portion 23B, and one end 8A of the first cable 8 comes close to the gap between the restricting portion 23 and the inclined wall portion 52B. The restricting portion 23 restricts the first cable 8, which has entered below the tip 23B1, from moving toward the mounting portion 24 (upward) as the inside handle 10 rotates (moves in the Y direction). 3 and 4, when the inside handle 10 is further rotated, the first cable 8 is routed below the end surface 23E1 of the rear rib 23E and below the end surface 23D1 of the front rib 23D, and one end 8A of the first cable 8 is accommodated between the restricting portion 23 and the inclined wall portion 52B. Then, the inside handle 10 is fitted into the inner edge portion 25 from the inside of the vehicle compartment.

[0037] Thereafter, a screw 70 is inserted from the upper edge 27 and threaded into the mounting portion 24 using a screwdriver or the like, thereby attaching the inner wall main body 22 and the front end 4A1 of the extension 4A of the ornament board 4 to the door panel 101. Then, the switch base 6 is attached to the upper edge 27, blocking the upper part of the opening inner wall 21 and the upper part of one end 8A of the first cable 8.

[0038] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a door trim 100 is shown which includes a trim portion 1 attached to a door panel 101 constituting a door 102, an inside handle 10 attached to the trim portion 1, and a first cable 8 having one end 8A connected to the inside handle 10 and the other end 8B connected to a locking device 110 which locks the door 102, the trim portion 1 having an opening 20 which penetrates from the inside to the outside of the vehicle, the opening 20 having an opening inner wall portion 21 which constitutes the inner wall, and an inner edge portion 25 which is located on the inside of the vehicle compartment of the opening inner wall portion 21, the inside handle 10 being attached to the inner edge portion 25 in a connected state in which one end 8A of the first cable 8 is connected to the inside handle 10, the opening inner wall portion 21 having an attachment portion 24 which is an attachment point of the trim portion 1 to the door panel 101, and a regulating portion 23 which regulates the first cable 8 from moving toward the attachment portion 24 when the connected inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25 from the inside of the vehicle compartment.

[0039] According to such door trim 100, when the inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25, the restricting portion 23 restricts the first cable 8 from moving toward the attachment portion 24, so that when attaching the screw (attachment member) 70 to the attachment portion 24, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the first cable 8 gets close to the attachment portion 24 and gets in the way, and for example, there is no need for a worker to perform the attachment work while avoiding the first cable 8. This allows for smooth attachment to the door panel 101 at the attachment portion 24.

[0040] The mounting portion 24 is provided on the inner wall main body portion 22 of the opening inner wall portion 21, and the regulating portion 23 extends from the lower side of the mounting portion 24 in the inner wall main body portion 22 upward toward the inside of the vehicle cabin beyond one end 8A of the first cable 8.

[0041] According to such a door trim 100, when the inside handle 10 in a connected state is attached to the inner edge portion 25, if one end 8A of the first cable 8 approaches the inner wall main body portion 22, the first cable 8 abuts against the surface of the restricting portion 23 opposite the mounting portion 24, and the first cable 8 can be accommodated within the opening 20 so as to avoid the mounting portion 24. For example, if the restricting portion 23 is configured to extend from below the mounting portion 24 on the inner wall main body portion 22 upward toward the inside of the vehicle compartment beyond one end 8A of the first cable 8, the first cable 8 abuts against the lower surface of the restricting portion 23 when the inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25, and the first cable 8 can be accommodated below the mounting portion 24, separated by the restricting portion 23.

[0042] The mounting portion 24 is provided on the inner wall main body portion 22 of the opening inner wall portion 21, and the regulating portion 23 extends upward from the lower side of the mounting portion 24 toward the inside of the vehicle cabin in the inner wall main body portion 22, and the tip portion 23B1 of the regulating portion 23 is located above the mounting portion 24.

[0043] With this door trim 100, even if the first cable 8 approaches the mounting portion 24 from inside the vehicle cabin when the connected inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25, the tip portion 23B1 of the restricting portion 23 prevents the first cable 8 from approaching the mounting portion 24, and the first cable 8 can be accommodated below the restricting portion 23 from the mounting portion 24. Furthermore, after the inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25, the mounting portion 24 can be seen from another opening 20 above the opening inner wall portion 21, where a switch base or the like is attached, so that the mounting portion 24 can be smoothly attached from such another opening 20.

[0044] The inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25 by having one end 11A of both ends 11A, 11B in the fore-and-aft direction abut against the inner edge portion 25 and the other end 11B rotate toward the outside of the vehicle compartment, and in the connected state, one end 8A of the first cable 8 is connected to the other end 11B side of the inside handle 10, and the regulating portion 23 regulates the first cable 8 from moving toward the mounting portion 24 as the inside handle 10 rotates.

[0045] According to such a door trim 100, the inside handle 10 is attached to the inner edge portion 25 while rotating the other end portion 11B, which makes it difficult for the portion of the first cable 8 connected to the other end portion 11B to move closer to the restricting portion 23, making it easier for the restricting portion 23 to restrict movement of the first cable 8 toward the mounting portion 24. This allows for smoother attachment of the inside handle 10 to the inner edge portion 25 and attachment of the mounting member 70 to the mounting portion 24.

[0046] The trim portion 1 includes a trim main body portion 2 and an armrest 5 that bulges out from the trim main body portion 2 toward the interior of the vehicle, and the inner edge portion 25 is provided on the armrest 5.

[0047] With this configuration, it is possible to provide the door trim 100 that can be smoothly attached to the door panel 101 at the attachment portion 24 while improving design and convenience.

[0048] <Other embodiments> The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above and in the drawings, and for example, the following embodiments are also included within the technical scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, various modifications other than those described below can be made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.

[0049] (1) In addition to the above-described embodiments, the configuration of the trim portion can be modified as appropriate. For example, the trim portion may be formed integrally with an armrest, an ornament board, or the like, rather than being separate components. The outer shape of the trim portion is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, the component on which the inner edge of the opening is provided is not limited to the armrest, and may be provided on an ornament board, or the like.

[0050] (2) The opening, cable, inside handle, etc. may be configured symmetrically from the front to the rear of the above embodiment with the pull handle at the center. For example, the opening may define a space that opens forward as it moves toward the interior of the vehicle cabin, and one end of the cable and the restricting portion may be located behind the curved wall of the pull handle. In this case, after the inside handle is connected, the inside handle may be attached by hooking the front protrusion onto the inner rear edge and rotating the rear protrusion toward the exterior of the vehicle cabin around the front protrusion as a rotation axis.

[0051] (3) The restricting portion may extend from above the mounting portion downward toward the interior of the vehicle cabin beyond one end of the first cable. This allows the first cable to enter above the restricting portion and come into contact with the upper surface of the restricting portion as the inside handle rotates in the Y direction when the inside handle is mounted to the inner edge of the inside handle, and the first cable can be accommodated above the mounting portion, separated from the restricting portion.

[0052] (4) The vehicle door trim exemplified in the above embodiment is not limited to use in automobiles, and may be provided in various vehicles. For example, the vehicle door trim can be applied to ground vehicles such as trains and recreational vehicles, air vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters, and marine and underwater vehicles such as ships and submarines.
