Description

  The present invention relates to an interior member attached to a body panel of a vehicle.

  As a method of attaching interior members such as linings (trims) and instrument panels that constitute the inner wall of the passenger compartment to the body panel, locking means such as nails and stoppers are provided on the back surface of the interior member, and this is applied to the body panel. A method of stopping is known (see Patent Document 1). Such a locking structure is also useful as temporary fixing or positioning means before fixing the interior member with a bolt or the like.

  By the way, in the case where the locking means is provided on the back surface of the interior member, it is necessary to prevent the design property from being damaged by the occurrence of sink marks on the surface of the interior member. The surface of the molten resin injected into the mold is solidified first, and then the inside is solidified while shrinking. For this reason, the thicker the part, the larger the surface is drawn and the sink occurs. The occurrence of sink marks can be suppressed by making the locking means thinner. In this case, however, another problem arises that the strength of the locking means is reduced. Therefore, “increase the thickness of the engaging plate material by arranging a plurality of engaging plates having engaging claws in parallel with each other and connecting the adjacent plate members with reinforcing ribs. There has been proposed a technique for improving the strength of the engaging member (see Patent Document 2).
