  An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle interior device that can prevent an attachment member attached to an apparatus main body from being attached to the apparatus main body in a direction opposite to a predetermined direction.

The present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.
(1) the device body;
A resin attachment member attached to the apparatus body in a predetermined orientation;
Have
The mounting member includes a design portion whose side surface of the vehicle interior constitutes a design surface, and is provided protruding from the design portion to the side opposite to the vehicle interior, and is attached to the apparatus body in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction. A vehicle interior device, comprising: a misassembly prevention rib that interferes with the device main body.
(2) Molten resin that has flowed through a runner provided in the mold in the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib after molding when the mounting member is molded using a mold. (1) The vehicle interior device according to (1).

According to the vehicle interior device of (1) above, since the mounting member is provided with the erroneous assembly preventing rib that interferes with the device main body when the mounting member is mounted in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the operator can install the mounting member. Even if it is intended to be mounted in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction when mounting to the apparatus main body, the erroneous assembly preventing rib interferes with the apparatus main body and cannot be mounted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous attachment of the mounting member to the apparatus main body.
In addition, since the misassembly prevention rib is provided so as to protrude from the design portion to the side opposite to the vehicle compartment, the misassembly prevention rib is hidden by the design portion when the attachment member is attached to the apparatus main body in a predetermined direction. It is possible to prevent the appearance from deteriorating even if a misassembly prevention rib is provided.
According to the vehicle interior device of the above (2), since the molten resin that has flowed through the runner provided in the mold flows into the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib after molding, it is misassembled after molding. After the molten resin has flowed into the portion to be the prevention rib and the pressure and flow velocity of the molten resin have been reduced at the portion, the molten resin is attached to the mounting member portion other than the portion to be the misassembly prevention rib after molding (design portion, etc. ). Therefore, it can suppress that the wave pattern (jetting) by shaping | molding appears in a design part (especially design surface).

Below, an example of the interior device for vehicles of the example of the present invention is explained with reference to FIGS. In the drawing, the arrow Fr indicates the front of the vehicle, and the arrow Up indicates the upper side (the side opposite to the passenger compartment).

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the mounting member 30 is provided with the erroneous assembly preventing rib 35 that interferes with the apparatus main body 20 when the mounting member 30 is mounted in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction, the operator attaches the mounting member 30 to the apparatus main body. Even if it is intended to be mounted in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction when it is mounted on 20, the erroneous assembly prevention rib 35 interferes with the apparatus main body 20 and cannot be mounted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous attachment of the attachment member 30 to the apparatus main body 20.

  Since the misassembly prevention rib 35 is provided so as to protrude from the design portion 31 to the side opposite to the vehicle compartment, the erroneous assembly prevention rib 35 is designed when the attachment member 30 is attached to the apparatus main body 20 in a predetermined direction. It can be concealed by the part 31, and even if the misassembly prevention rib 35 is provided, it can suppress deteriorating appearance.

  Since the molten resin that has flowed through the runners 42 provided in the molds 40 and 41 flows into the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib 35 after molding, the molten resin melts into the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib 35 after molding. After causing the resin to flow and reducing the pressure and flow velocity of the molten resin at the portion, the molten resin is allowed to flow into the mounting member 30 portion (design portion 31 or the like) other than the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib 35 after molding. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the pressure change and flow rate change of the molten resin flowing into the mounting member 30 other than the portion that becomes the misassembly prevention rib 35 after molding, and the design portion 31 (particularly the design surface 31a) is subjected to a wave due to molding. A pattern (jetting) can be prevented from appearing.

  Since the claw portion 33 is provided so as to extend from the box-shaped portion 32 on the side opposite to the vehicle compartment, the claw portion 33 is provided with the claw portion 33 as compared with the case where the claw portion 33 is provided extending from the design portion 31 to the side opposite the vehicle compartment. The length in the extending direction (length in the vertical direction) can be shortened, and the strength of the claw portion 33 can be improved.

  Since the apparatus body 20 is provided with a recess 23 that receives the recessed design portion 31 on the side opposite to the vehicle compartment, the side surface 31c of the design portion 31 is linear or substantially linear in a cross-sectional view in the vehicle front-rear direction. Even if it is a case, it can suppress that the anti-cabinet side of the design part 31 is visible from a vehicle interior.

  Since the recess 23 extends in the same direction as the vehicle left-right direction, the recess 23 does not get in the way when the attachment member 30 is slid with respect to the apparatus main body 20.
