Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention primarily relates to an instrument panel for an automobile.

Conventionally, this type of panel is known, for example, as shown in Figure 1, a type in which a composite sheet or other composite resin sheet a and an ABS resin or other core material b are laminated one above the other is known. Next, instruments and other parts are to be attached to the upper surface of the object with screws or other means, and thus the core material B has a mounting surface C prepared in advance, for example, in the form of a thick boss on the back surface. The surface C is generally prepared in the same plane as the remaining surfaces as shown in the figure.

In such a case, since the sheet a is closely bonded to the surface C in substantially the same way as the remaining surfaces, the surface C is then bonded to the top surface in order to expose the surface C in preparation for installation. Trim sheet a with blade d
Removal by other methods is not easy.

That is, the sheet a is peeled off by making a cut with the trim blade d, but if the amount of the cut is small, it will be difficult to peel it off, and if the amount of the cut is too large, the core material b will be damaged, making the work difficult. This is accompanied by the inconvenience of

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain an instrument panel that does not have such disadvantages, and is made by laminating a composite sheet or other laminated resin sheet and an ABC resin or other core material one above the other. The core material is characterized in that the intended mounting surface of the core material is previously formed into a concave surface to provide a gap between it and the sheet.

An example of implementing the present invention will be explained with reference to the attached drawings.

Figures 2 to 4 show one example of this. 1 is a composite or resin sheet, 2 is a core material, and both 1 and 2 are superimposed on top of each other and are bonded or otherwise attached to each other. The instrument panel as a whole has been as good as it gets.

The sheet 1 is made of, for example, a composite sheet formed by laminating a relatively thin leather sheet 1a made of polyvinyl chloride or other material and a relatively thick foam sheet 1b made of polypropylene foam or the like on top of each other. The core material 2 is made of, for example, ABS resin or the like, and its bonding is performed, for example, between upper and lower molds 3 and 4 as shown in the third figure.

In the drawing, 5, 5 is a chain supporting both side edges of the seat 1;
Reference numeral 6 indicates a vacuum evacuation hole opened in the upper surface of the core material 2.

According to the present invention, in the above, the intended mounting surface 7 of the core material 2 is prepared in advance as a concave surface recessed downward,
When laminating with the sheet 1, a gap 8 was left on the upper surface thereof.

In other words, the surface 7 was not bonded to the sheet 1, but was made to exist separately from it. Since the sheet 1 is thus free above the surface 7, it can be easily cut and removed by, for example, the trim blade 9.

Incidentally, when bonding the two sheets 1 and 2 together, the inside of the gap 8 can be evacuated through the guide hole in the same way as the remaining parts. It is preferable not to perform evacuation.

The mounting surface 7 has a thick boss shape at the rear, and a screw hole 1 is formed in this.
Made it possible to get 0.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the mounting state, in which instruments and other members 11 are superimposed on the mounting surface γ at each end of the lower bracket 12 and fixed thereto with screws 13 or other means. .

In this way, according to the present invention, the intended mounting surface of the core material is shaped into a concave surface in advance, and a gap is created between the top surface and the sheet, and then the work of removing the sheet from the top surface is performed. It has the effect of being simple and easy.
