2. Description of the Related Art In a passenger compartment of a vehicle such as a passenger car, various vehicle interior members such as an instrument panel, a floor console and a door panel are provided. Since the color, design and texture of these vehicle interior members greatly affect the atmosphere and texture of the passenger compartment, the interior members are required to have improved texture and a sense of luxury. Therefore, in the vehicle interior member, by applying a preformed skin on the outer surface of the synthetic resin base material formed into a required shape by injection molding technology or the like based on vacuum molding technology or powder slush molding technology, A method for improving the texture is adopted. Further, in order to produce a sense of quality, it is often the case that a specific member such as a wood-grain-like decorative panel component or various accessory components is additionally mounted at a required position on the outer surface of the outer skin.

By the way, in the vehicle interior member described above, the work of applying the preformed skin to the base material based on the above-described molding technique and the installation portion provided at a required position of the skin. On the other hand, it is necessary to perform the work of mounting the specific member in separate steps. This is because with the vacuum forming technique or the powder slush forming technique, it was extremely difficult to form the skin and mount the specific member to the formed skin at the same time.

For example, in the powder slush molding, as is well known, the powder slush molding die has two skin molding surfaces.
By heating the mold heated to a high temperature of around 00 ° C. and charged with resin powder such as PVC, TPU, TPO, the resin powder in contact with the heated skin forming surface is appropriately melted and the skin forming surface is This is a technique for forming a skin with a conforming shape.
Therefore, when the specific member made of synthetic resin is set on the skin forming surface that is heated to the temperature described above, the specific member is softened and deformed or melted by this heat, so the specific member is inserted. It can be said that it is almost impossible to form the skin under this condition. Although it is possible to prevent thermal deformation of the specific member by setting the heating temperature of the skin forming surface to a low value, there is a new problem that the melting of the powder resin becomes insufficient and molding defects and quality defects occur. Will occur.

On the other hand, the vacuum forming technique is well known as follows.
This is a technique for forming a skin having a shape along the skin forming surface by suction-adhering a softened resin sheet material heated to a predetermined temperature to the skin forming surface of a vacuum forming mold that is evacuated. . However, when the vacuum forming of the skin is performed under the condition that the specific member is preset on the skin forming surface, the deformation amount (elongation) of the resin sheet material locally increases at the portion corresponding to the specific member. There were inherent problems such as the extremely small thickness of the part and the occurrence of tears.

That is, when using a skin formed by each of the above-mentioned molding techniques, the work of forming the skin and the work of mounting the specific member on the skin are performed in separate steps. There was an inherent problem that the number of steps increased and the molding cost increased. Further, since the specific member is retrofitted from the outside of the outer skin after the outer skin is applied to the base material, a gap is formed at the boundary between the outer skin and the specific member, which rather deteriorates the texture. It was pointed out that there are some drawbacks such as being lost.

As described above, the urethane skin 10 molded by using the molding die 40 based on the above-mentioned urethane spray molding technique serves as a specific member when the urethane film 12 constituting the urethane skin 10 is molded. Since the decorative panel component 14 is simultaneously attached to the molded urethane film 12, the decorative panel component 14 can be handled as a single component pre-mounted as described above. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the molded urethane skin 10 is subjected to an injection molding technique or the like similarly to a conventional general molding skin (a skin formed based on a vacuum molding technique or a powder slush molding technique). It adheres to the outer surface of the base material 30 formed on the basis of the base material to form the decorative surface of the instrument panel 34, which is a vehicle interior member. In addition, in FIG.
The urethane skin 3 of the embodiment, which is foamed and interposed between the urethane skin 10, the base material 30, and both members 10 and 30.
An instrument panel having a three-layer structure including two is illustrated.
