Abstract

A vehicular interior part includes an interior part and a trim main body where the interior part is mounted. The interior part includes an interior part main wall portion and a mount projection projecting from a rear surface of the interior part main wall portion. The trim main body includes a main body side wall portion and an extended portion extending from the main body side wall portion toward a middle portion of the trim main body. The extended portion includes an insertion through hole in which the mount projection is and a clearance portion adjacent to the insertion through hole and with which the extended portion is movable toward the middle portion of the trim main body relative to the mount projection that is in the insertion through hole in response that the main body side wall portion receives a load in a vehicular interior-exterior direction.

7. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4, wherein

the extended portion includes an extended basal portion that is continuous from the main body side wall portion and from which the extended portion extends, and

the extended portion includes the clearance portion on an extended basal portion side with respect to the insertion through hole.

8. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4, wherein

the main body side wall portion has an exterior edge portion on the vehicular exterior side with respect to the extended portion and the exterior edge portion is in contact with an inner panel.

9. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4, wherein

the insertion through hole has an opening size that fits the mount projection.

10. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4, wherein

the extended portion is on the vehicular exterior side with respect to the interior part main wall portion and overlaps the interior part main wall portion, and

the mount projection is in the insertion through hole.

11. The vehicular interior part according to claim 4, wherein

the extended portion extends toward a vehicular front side from the main body side wall portion that is on a vehicular rear side.

12. A vehicular interior part comprising:

a main wall portion having a main surface facing a vehicular interior side and having an outer peripheral edge and a middle portion;

a side wall portion extending from the outer peripheral edge toward a vehicular exterior side;

an interior part including;

an interior part main wall portion that is a part of the main wall portion and having a rear surface that is opposite to the main surface; and

a mount projection projecting from the rear surface; and

a trim main body mounted on the interior part and on a vehicular exterior side with respect to the interior part, the trim main body including;

a main body side wall portion that is a part of the side wall portion; and

an extended portion extending from the main body side wall portion toward the middle portion of the main wall portion along the rear surface of the interior part main wall portion, the extended portion including an insertion through hole and a clearance portion, the insertion through hole in which the mount projection is, and the clearance portion being adjacent to the insertion through hole and with which the extended portion is movable toward the middle portion of the main wall portion relative to the mount projection that is in the insertion through hole in response that the main body side wall portion receives a load in a vehicular interior-exterior direction, wherein
