When the terminal portion of the epidermis cannot be restrained by the peripheral edge of the interior member as described above due to various restrictions, the following structure can be considered. That is, a receiving wall portion is formed on the interior member. This receiving wall portion recedes from the outer surface of the main portion of the interior member and is connected to the edge of the main portion of the interior member via a step. The terminal portion of the epidermis covers the receiving wall portion beyond the edge of the main portion of the interior member. The terminal portion is hidden by the other interior member hitting the receiving wall portion via the terminal portion of the skin.

When the above structure is adopted, no problem occurs when the other interior member is applied from a direction orthogonal to the receiving wall portion. However, when the other interior member approaches the receiving wall portion from a direction substantially along the receiving wall portion, the terminal portion of the skin floating from the receiving wall portion is squeezed by the other interior member and the receiving wall portion is squeezed. At the end of the portion, the epidermis near the terminal portion may bulge outward. This bulge deteriorates the appearance as a wrinkle.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in a vehicle interior structure, a support member, a first interior member fixed to the support member, a skin covering the first interior member, and the first one. A second interior member, which is adjacent to the interior member and is fixed to the support member, is provided.
The first interior member has a main wall portion and a sub-wall portion that intersects the main wall portion and faces the support member, and the sub-wall portion is the support member via the terminal portion of the epidermis. It has a first edge that hits the receiving surface of the above and a second edge that intersects with the first edge, and the receiving wall portion that recedes from the outer surface of the sub wall portion is connected to the second edge through a step. The terminal portion of the epidermis extends beyond the second edge of the sub-wall portion so as to cover the receiving wall portion, and the second interior member has a side wall portion along the receiving wall portion. However, it is fixed to the support member by approaching the support member from the direction intersecting with the main wall portion, and in the fixed state, the side edge of the side wall portion on the support member side is supported by the support member. Along with hitting the receiving surface of the member, a part of the side wall portion hits the receiving wall portion via the terminal portion of the skin, and the end portion of the receiving wall portion on the receiving surface side faces the receiving surface. It is characterized in that an inclined edge is formed so as to approach the second edge.

According to the above configuration, when the first interior member covered with the skin is fixed to the support member and the second interior member is further fixed to the support member, the side wall portion of the second interior member is the terminal portion of the skin. It hits the receiving wall while squeezing, but since the inclined edge is formed at the end of the receiving wall, the terminal part of the epidermis can escape inward and the epidermis near the second edge of the secondary wall bulges. There is no force to make it. As a result, the occurrence of wrinkles on the epidermis can be prevented and a good appearance can be ensured.

In one aspect of the present invention, the vehicle interior structure is a register assembly, the support member is composed of a support frame having an opening and is fixed to an instrument panel, the first interior member is composed of an ornament member, and the second interior member is composed of an ornament member.
