Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve impact resistance by including a foam constituting a resin component body, a film covering the foam, a gap forming part forming a gap between the foam and a film and a load dispersing part, dispersing a load input from the film side by the load dispersing part and reducing the load by the foam. <P>SOLUTION: This bumper cover 10 includes the foam 12 constituting a body of the bumper cover 10 and the film 14 covering the foam 12. In a part of the film 14, a folded part 16 forming the gap 18 between the foam 12 and the film 14 is formed. By this constitution, the gap 18 is formed between the foam 12 and the film 14, and thereby an impact load directly input into the foam 12 can be reduced even if an impact is applied by a collision of a collision body 70 from the film 14 side. As a result, impact resistance can be improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

  A bumper cover 10 as a resin component shown in FIG. 1 is configured as a front bumper cover provided in a vehicle such as a passenger car. As shown in FIG. 2, the bumper cover 10 includes a foam 12 and a film 14.

  The foam 12 constitutes the main body of the bumper cover 10, and the film 14 covers the foam 12 from the outside of the vehicle. A folded portion 16 (gap forming portion) that protrudes from the general surface 14 </ b> A toward the foam 12 is formed on a part of the film 14. The folded portion 16 is formed by being folded into a substantially V-shaped cross section so as to have an opening on the vehicle outer side.

  A plurality of gaps 18 are formed between the foam 12 and the film 14 by the front end of the folded portion 16 abutting against the foam 12. In addition, the front-end | tip part of the folding | turning part 16 may be adhere | attached on the foam 12 with the adhesive material etc., for example.

  According to this configuration, since the gap 18 is formed between the foam 12 and the film 14, as shown in FIG. 3, even when the impact body 70 collides from the film 14 side and an impact is applied. The impact load that is directly input to the foam 12 can be reduced. Thereby, impact resistance can be improved.

  In addition, when the impact body 70 collides from the film 14 side and an impact is applied, the impact 16 can be absorbed by being deformed so that the folded portion 16 having a substantially V-shaped cross section is opened. Thereby, impact resistance can be further improved.

  Further, since the gap 18 can be formed between the foam 12 and the film 14 by the folded portion 16 formed by folding a part of the film 14, an increase in the number of parts can be avoided.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The bumper cover 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 is modified in the following configuration with respect to the bumper cover 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above.

  That is, the bumper cover 20 includes a protruding portion 26 (gap forming portion) formed to protrude from the foam 12 toward the film 14 side. Then, a plurality of gaps 18 are formed between the foam 12 and the film 14 by the front end portion of the protruding portion 26 abutting against the film 14.

  Even in this configuration, since the gap 18 is formed between the foam 12 and the film 14, as shown in FIG. 5, when the impact body 70 collides from the film 14 side and an impact is applied. The impact load that is directly input to the foam 12 can be reduced. Thereby, impact resistance can be improved.

  When the collision body 70 collides and an impact is applied, the impact can be absorbed by the deformation of the projection 26 made of the foam material. Thereby, impact resistance can be further improved.

  Moreover, since the clearance gap 18 can be formed between the foam 12 and the film 14 by the protrusion part 26 which protruded and formed in the foam 12, the increase in a number of parts can be avoided.
