Abstract

A decoration part includes a base member having a front-side surface and an outer peripheral end portion, a skin covering the front-side surface of the base member, and a holding member mounted to the front-side surface of the base member and arranged on a rear-surface side of the skin. The skin has a stitch line formed with a thread, and a part of the stitch line is arranged in the outer peripheral end portion. The holding member holds the thread with which the skin and the holding member are sewed and has a linear shape extending along the stitch line. The holding member has a mount portion mounted to a holding member mount portion of the base member and a stitch portion that is sewed with the thread. The holding member has the stitch portion closer to an outer peripheral end of the base member than the mount portion.

Claims

1. A decoration part comprising:

a base member having a front-side surface and an outer peripheral end portion including an outer peripheral end;

a skin covering the front-side surface of the base member and having a stitch line formed with a thread on a front-side surface of the skin, a part of the stitch line being arranged in the outer peripheral end portion of the base member; and

a holding member mounted to the front-side surface of the base member and arranged on a rear-surface side of the skin, the holding member holding the thread with which the skin and the holding member are sewed and having a linear shape extending along the stitch line, the holding member having a mount portion that is mounted to a holding member mount portion of the base member and a stitch portion that is sewed with the thread, the holding member having the stitch portion closer to the outer peripheral end of the base member than the mount portion.

2. The decoration part according to claim 1, wherein the holding member further includes:

a holding member main body extending along the stitch line and including the stitch portion, and

a mount projection that is the mount portion and projects from a rear-side surface of the holding member main body toward the base member, the mount projection being fitted to the holding member mount portion of the base member.

3. The decoration part according to claim 2, wherein

the holding member mount portion is a through hole formed through the base member,

the skin includes a folded portion that is disposed on a side of a rear-side surface of the base member that is opposite to the front-side surface thereof,

the mount projection extends through the through hole and a distal end portion thereof projects to the rear-side surface of the base member, and

the distal end portion of the mount projection is covered with the folded portion.

4. The decoration part according to claim 3, wherein

the mount projection includes projection pieces each of which projects from the rear-side surface of the holding member main body toward the base member and the projection pieces include an outer projection piece located near the outer peripheral end of the base member and an inner projection piece located farther from the outer peripheral end than the outer projection piece,

the base member has a hole edge portion around the through hole and the hole edge portion includes an outer hole edge portion that is located near the outer peripheral end and an inner hole edge portion that is located farther from the outer peripheral end than the outer hole edge portion,

the inner hole edge portion has a thickness greater than the outer hole edge portion, and

the inner projection piece has a stopper portion at its distal end portion, and the stopper portion is stopped by the inner hole edge portion from the rear-side surface of the base member.

5. The decoration part according to claim 1, wherein

the holding member extends along the outer peripheral end portion, and

the mount portion includes a plurality of mount portions that are arranged in an extending direction in which the holding member extends.

6. The decoration part according to claim 3, wherein

the skin disposed on the front-side surface of the base member and the folded portion sandwich the holding member that is mounted to the base member via the mount projection and the through hole, and the skin disposed on the front-side surface of the base member and the folded portion sandwich the holding member from the front-side surface and the rear-side surface of the base member.

7. The decoration part according to claim 1, wherein

the outer peripheral end portion of the base member has a thickness smaller at the outer peripheral end of the base member than at a portion away from the outer peripheral end.

8. The decoration part according to claim 4, wherein

the inner projection piece projects from an inner-side end of the holding member main body with respect to the base member.

9. The decoration part according to claim 1, wherein

the stitch portion has a recess, and

the base member and the thread provided in the stitch portion have a space therebetween.

10. The decoration part according to claim 2, wherein
