ている。Resin molded products are made from parisons made of thermoplastic synthetic resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, and are blow molded to form hollow three-dimensional shapes.Specifically, they are used for door armrests, sun visors, etc. ,
Examples include vehicle accessories such as grab rails, pillars, pockets, headrests, center consoles, and overhead consoles. As the parison 1', one having a thickness of about two layers is usually used, and it is softened by heating at around 200°C and then placed in a mold Cl*
After inserting the parison 1' into the mold cavity surface C, the parison 1' is filled with compressed air of about 7 kg/c2.
3. By pressing against C4, it is possible to form a nail into a resin molded product l having a desired three-dimensional shape. Necessary decorative members 2 are attached to this resin molded product 1 depending on the purpose. For example, a sheet-like or plate-like material such as a skin material, a caution plate, a molding, etc. is suitable.

品１の外表面より陥入して肉厚内に埋込み装着され。1 and C2 are pressed against the cavity surfaces C3 and C4 to form a hollow resin molded product 1 according to the cavity shape. At the same time, the parison surface is brought into pressure contact with the back surface of the decorative member 2 at the location where the decorative member 2 has been placed in advance, and a portion of the parison surface is pressed from the thick surface along the recesses C5 and CG of the cavity surfaces C3 and C4. It comes to be applied around the front edge of the decorative member 2. Therefore, the decorative member 2 is installed by being recessed from the outer surface of the resin molded product 1 and embedded within the wall thickness.
