Abstract

An interior trim material for a vehicle has a base member, a band-like plate, and a cloth material, which is formed by applying double stitches on at least the band-like plate and the cloth material. The band-like plate is provided with a projecting portion formed in a longitudinal direction on the based member side and a cored bar inserted into the projecting portion, the base member is provided with a first groove portion capable of accommodating the whole band-like plate and a second groove portion engaging with the projecting portion of the band-like plate, the cloth material and the band-like plate are simultaneously sewn together in a disposition region of the band-like plate, the double stitches are applied on the cloth material, and the band-like plate sewn together with the cloth material is positioned on respective groove portions of the base member to be joined to the base member.

Claims

1-7. -7. (canceled)

8. An interior trim arrangement for a vehicle comprising:

a base member;

a band-like plate comprising;

a projecting portion formed in a longitudinal direction on a side of the base member; and

a cored bar inserted into the projecting portion;

wherein the base member comprises;

a first groove portion capable of accommodating the whole band-like plate; and

a second groove portion engaging the projecting portion of the band-like plate;

the arrangement further comprising;

a cloth material, which is formed by applying a double stitch on at least the band-like plate and the cloth material, the cloth material and the band-like plate being simultaneously sewn together in a disposition region of the band-like plate and the cloth material being applied double-stitched, and

the band-like plate sewn with the cloth material is positioned on the respective groove portions of the base member to be joined to the base member.

9. The interior trim arrangement according to claim 8, wherein a continuous cut out portion is formed on at least one side of both sides of the band-like plate in a longitudinal direction.

10. The interior trim arrangement according to claim 8, wherein the projecting portion of the band-like plate is intermittently formed, and the second groove portion of the base member is intermittently formed to match with the projecting portion of the band-like plate.

11. The interior trim arrangement according to claim 8, wherein the interior trim arrangement for a vehicle is an armrest.

12. A method of manufacturing an interior trim arrangement for a vehicle comprising:

providing a base member;

providing a band-like plate;

providing a cloth material;

forming the cloth material by applying a double-stitch on at least the band-like plate and the cloth material;

sewing simultaneously the cloth material and the band-like plate on which a projecting portion inserted with a cored bar is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction on the base member side of the band-like plate in a disposition region of the band-like plate to apply a double stitch;

applying adhesive agent on at least either one of the band-like plate or the base member including a first groove portion capable of accommodating the whole band-like plate and a second groove portion engaging the projecting portion, and

positioning the band-like plate sewn together with the cloth material at respective groove portions of the base member to be joined to the base member.

13. The method of manufacturing according to claim 12, wherein the forming of the cloth material comprises overlapping and sewing two cover materials while leaving end portion sides of the two cover materials as folded portions.

14. The method of manufacturing according to claim 12, wherein, in the positioning of the band-like plate sewn together with the cloth material on the respective groove portions of the base member to be joined to the base member, the method further comprising:

flexing a portion of the band-like plate including cut out portions formed on at least one side of both sides of the band-like plate in a longitudinal direction and caused to contact with the base member, thereby joining the band-like plate to the base member.
