Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ornament with a gather for a vehicle mounted on the inside of a vehicle such as a door trim of a vehicle and a method for manufacturing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, an armrest, a door pocket, and other ornaments are mounted on the inside of a vehicle door trim. Many ornaments have a structure in which the surface of a substrate, in which a pad is stacked on a plate material such as an iron plate, is covered with a synthetic leather surface. Among them, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, there are also those with gathers that are elaborately designed to gather gathers 102 on skin 101. The ornament in which the gathers 102 are attached to the outer skin 101 has a unique tone that the gathers 102 produce compared to the monotonous flat-faced outer skin, and enhances the value of the ornament as a decorative component. In the conventional ornament with such a gather, as shown in FIG. 8, a gather 102 is formed on the upper and lower sides of a skin 101 by sewing with a sewing machine in advance and a pad 104 of a base material 105 in which a pad 104 is attached to a plate material 103 is used. It is manufactured by pulling it while pulling it so that unnecessary wrinkles are not formed on the side surface.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional ornament with gather has a problem that the cost is high because the manufacturing is troublesome and the quality control is troublesome. That is,
Since the synthetic leather used as the outer skin 101 is not so flexible and has a considerably high rigidity as a sheet-shaped member, it is difficult to form the gather 102 well even by pinching and sewn. In addition, when the outer skin 101 is stretched, the outer skin 1 with the gathers 102 attached so as to prevent unnecessary wrinkles.
Since the terminal part of 01 is strongly pulled, the gather 102 is extended and disappears. Therefore, the proportion of defective products is considerably higher than that of a monotonous skin ornament without gathers 102.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its object is to enhance the appearance of the gathered ornament by the stable gathering and reduce the cost of the gathered ornament. The object is to provide a manufacturing method for easily and easily manufacturing a gathered ornament.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a vehicle interior decoration such as a door trim of a vehicle in which a base material is covered with a surface skin and the surface skin is gathered. An ornament with vehicular gathering constituting a surface, wherein the base material is a thin corrugated (corrugated) resin plate having a corrugated shape for gather formation on the pad The outer skin is closely joined to the surface of the pad and has gathers formed by the corrugation of the pad.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention of claim 2 is for a vehicle which forms a decorative surface on the inside of a vehicle such as a door trim of a vehicle in which a base material is covered with a surface skin and the surface skin is gathered. In the production of ornaments with gathers, the surface of the pad that forms part of the above base material is adhered to the surface of the material without gathers, and the back surface forms the other part of the base material A corrugated resin plate having a mold is superposed to form a layered body, and the layered body is fitted to upper and lower weld types each having a contact surface corresponding to the corrugation of the resin plate. The outer skin, the pad and the resin plate are welded to each other at their peripheral portions in a close contact state, and the outer skin is formed with a gather that follows the corrugation for forming the gather. That.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the gather is formed on the surface of the skin by the corrugation of the pad made of the resin plate, not by sewing, by closely bonding the surface of the skin to the base material.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the upper and lower weld types each having a contact surface corresponding to the corrugation of the resin plate are used to weld the outer skin, the pad and the resin plate to each other in a closely contacted state at their peripheral portions, thereby forming the outer skin. A gather that follows the corrugation for forming is formed on the.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 show an ornament 1 with a gather for a vehicle door trim showing an embodiment of the present invention. The features of this ornament with gather 1 are:
That is, the gather 2 is formed not by sewing such as picking and sewing, but by forming by what is called a mold. That is, the gathered ornament 1 mounted on the door trim 3 has a structure in which a surface of a base material 4 is covered with a synthetic leather skin 5 made of vinyl chloride or the like.
Are formed. As shown in FIG. 2, the base material 4 is lined with a resin plate 8 made of polyethylene or the like with a corrugated shape having a corrugated shape 7 for gather formation on one side of a resin impregnated pad 6 and a thickness of about 1.0 mm. With the configuration, the surface of the soft resin-impregnated pad 6 has a waveform lined in the vertical direction by the lined resin plate 8. The skin 5 is closely bonded to the surface of the resin-impregnated pad 6 having a corrugated shape using an adhesive, and is heat-sealed to the base material 4 at the peripheral edge portion 9 to be integrated with the base material 4. The gather 2 of the surface skin 5 is formed in a uniform and stable form so as to follow the corrugation appearing on the surface of the resin-impregnated pad 6 as it is, and has a good appearance.

The gathered ornament 1 is attached to the door trim 3 at a required position of a frame portion 10 having a U-shaped cross section which is integrally formed on the peripheral edge of the resin plate 8 as shown in FIGS. It is performed by fitting the existing boss 11 to the door trim 3 side. That is, on the door trim 3 side, the spring nut 12 is attached to the back surface of the boss fitting portion, and the boss 11 is gripped by the spring nut 12 when the boss 11 is fitted. 3 and 4, M indicates a decorative molding.

Next, a method for manufacturing the above ornament 1 with gathers will be described. A significant difference from the conventional method of manufacturing an ornament with gathers is the formation of the gathers 2 on the surface skin 5 and the method of attaching the surface skin 5 to the base material 4. That is, first, the outer skin 5 in the material state cut into the required shape and size without the gather 2 is bonded to the surface of the resin-impregnated pad 6 forming a part of the base material 4 by using an adhesive. Then, a corrugated resin plate 8 having a corrugated pattern 7 for gather formation which constitutes another part of the base material 4 is superposed on the back surface of the resin impregnated pad 6 to form a layered body. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, the layered body is fitted to upper and lower weld molds 14 and 15 each having a contact surface 13 corresponding to the corrugation 7 of the resin plate 8, and the weld molds 14 and 15 form a skin. 5, the resin impregnated pad 6 and the resin plate 8 are welded to each other at their peripheral portions 9 in a close contact state. As a result, the three members are molded so as to have the same waveform as the resin plate 8, and the gathers 2 are formed on the skin 5 following the corrugations 7 for gather formation.

According to the method of manufacturing the ornament 1 with gathers, it is not necessary to form the gathers 2 on the skin 5 having a fairly rigid structure by pinching and sewing, and since the skin 5 is not stretched and attached, it is manufactured. Is easy, the quality is stable, and the cost is reduced. The gather 2 of the surface skin 5 is, as it were, a mold-formed product, which is uniform and the quality is stable, so that the proportion of defective products is significantly reduced. Although the above-mentioned embodiments have been described with respect to the case of synthetic leather, the skin is not limited to synthetic leather, and can be applied to a rigid skin or a non-rigid skin.

[0013]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, according to the invention of claim 1, the gather is formed on the skin by the corrugation of the pad made of the resin plate, not by sewing, due to the close bonding of the skin to the base material. As a result, the uniformity and stability of the shape of the gather are improved, and a gathered ornament with a good appearance can be obtained at low cost.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the gather forming work by sewing with a sewing machine is not required, and an ornament with a gather having a stable quality and a good appearance can be easily and easily manufactured, and the cost is reduced.
