Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a skin end treatment structure for vehicle interior parts such as headrests and armrests for automobiles.

(Prior Art) For vehicle interior parts such as headrests for automobiles, the ends of a skin material that is covered with an insert frame through a pad material are aligned with the bottom of the insert frame and the ends are sealed together. This seal portion is often hidden by an undercover. (For example, Utsukai 57-
(Publication No. 154354) (Problems to be solved by the invention) However, as described above, sealing the ends of the skin material attached to the bottom of the insert frame not only requires a lot of effort, but also requires a lot of work to seal the ends of the skin material attached to the bottom of the insert frame. There is a problem in that a large amount of material must be used, resulting in high costs.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to a skin end treatment structure for vehicle interior parts that solves the above-mentioned problems. In the skin end treatment structure for an automobile interior part in which the skin material is hidden by an undercover, a strip core material is attached to the end of the skin material to form a thick edge, and the thick edge is connected to the lower peripheral edge of the insert frame. It is characterized by being held in place by an undercover at both sides.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be described in detail using the illustrated automobile head rest as an example. Reference numeral 1 denotes an interior component body, and the interior component body 1 is made of metal or synthetic resin and has a stay 2. an insert frame 3, a pad material 4 attached around it, a skin material 5 covered with the insert frame 3 via the pad material 4, and a bottom part 3a of the insert frame 3.
It consists of an undercover 6 that hides the end of the skin material 5 attached to the peripheral portion of the cover. The undercover 6 is a shallow inverted box made of metal or synthetic resin, and has an outer flange 6a protruding from the lower end of its peripheral frame. In the embodiment, the flange end of this outer flange portion 6a is formed into an upward protrusion 6b. This undercover 6 is then fastened and fixed to the insert frame 3 with screws 7. On the other hand, the skin material 5 is formed into a bag shape using synthetic resin leather, woven fabric, etc., and the back side of the terminal corresponding to the opening is formed into a belt shape having moderate elasticity and rigidity such as medium-hard polypropylene resin. The core material 8 is attached and integrated by sewing or welding to form a thick edge part 9. The skin material 5 is covered with the insert frame 3 via the pad material 4, and the thick edge part at the end thereof is formed. The portion 9 is sandwiched and held between the lower peripheral portion of the insert frame 3 and the undercover 6. Note that the specific means for sandwiching and holding the thick edge portion 9 between the lower peripheral portion of the insert frame 3 and the undercover 6 is not particularly limited;
In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 2, the width of the strip-shaped core material 8 is set to be equal to or slightly larger than the height of the peripheral frame portion of the undercover 6, and the thick edge portion 9 is set to the undercover. Insert the under cover 6 along the outside of the periphery of the frame 3.
By tightening screws 7 to the bottom part 3a of the belt, the belt-shaped core material 8 is held in a slightly warped state between the peripheral part of the bottom part 3a and the outer flange part 6a. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the belt-shaped core material 8 is formed into a substantially L-shape, and a thick edge 9 curved into a substantially L-shape is formed in a portion extending from the upper bottom of the undercover 6 to the peripheral frame. The part that is aligned with the upper bottom part is sandwiched and held between the peripheral part of the bottom part 3a and the upper bottom part of the undercover 6 which is fastened to the bottom part 3a with screws 7. In any case, the thick edge 9 formed at the end of the skin material 5 is clamped and held under the interior component main body 1 by the undercover 6 at the lower peripheral edge of the insert frame 3, and is simultaneously hidden and removed. It is sufficient if it has a structure that can be stopped.

When such an automobile interior part is installed and used inside an automobile body, the end of the skin material 5 is hidden by the undercover 6 at the lower peripheral portion of the bottom portion 3a of the insert frame 3, so that it is extremely aesthetically pleasing. There is almost no difference from the conventional method in terms of the quality of the material, but in the present invention, the end of the skin material 5 is connected to the thick edge 9 to which the strip-shaped core material 8 is attached.
Since the thick edge part 9 of this terminal is sandwiched and held by the undercover 6 at the lower peripheral part of the insert frame 3, there is no need for welding the terminals together. Insert under cover 6 into frame 3
The skin material 5 can be easily covered by simply tightening it to the bottom 3a of the skin material 5, and there is no risk of the skin material 5 coming off once it has been covered, so there is no sagging or wrinkling of the skin material 5, providing a high-quality product. can. Although the above embodiments are only for headrests, it is of course applicable to any vehicle interior parts in which an armrest or other insert frame is coated with a skin material via a pad material and the end thereof is hidden by an undercover. be.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention allows for accurate and easy covering of skin materials with simple steps, and there is no risk of sagging or wrinkling of the skin material. It has the advantage of requiring only a small quantity, and has extremely great practical value as a surface end treatment structure for vehicle interior parts, which allows high-quality vehicle interior parts to be mass-produced at low cost.
