Abstract

The present invention discloses a molded laying interior material for a vehicle includes a decorative layer that faces a vehicle compartment and a buffer material layer that faces a vehicle body panel. The decorative layer has a first concavo-convex shape formed by press molding on a side of the vehicle compartment. The buffer material layer has a second concavo-convex shape formed by press molding a buffer material on a side of the vehicle body panel. The buffer material has a fiber structure in which fibers are oriented in a thickness direction in the fiber structure The decorative layer and the buffer material layer are at least laminated and integrated.

Claims (44)

1. A molded laying interior material for a vehicle, comprising:

a decorative layer that faces a vehicle compartment; and

a buffer material layer that faces a vehicle body panel;

the decorative layer has a first concavo-convex shape formed by press molding on a side of the vehicle compartment;

the buffer material layer has a second concavo-convex shape formed by press molding a buffer material on a side of the vehicle body panel;

the buffer material has a wavelike shape in which a web is repeatedly folded back in a thickness direction in the wavelike shape such that pleats are formed;

the decorative layer and the buffer material layer are at least laminated and integrated;

the second concavo-convex shape of the buffer material layer includes a first cross-sectional shape along a lamination direction of the pleats and a second cross-sectional shape along a width direction of the buffer material; and

a height from a lowest part to a highest part in the first cross-sectional shape along the lamination direction of the pleats is larger than a height from a lowest part to a highest part in the second cross-sectional shape along the width direction of the buffer material when the decorative layer is disposed on a bottom of the vehicle compartment.

2. A molded laying interior material for a vehicle, comprising:

a decorative layer that faces a vehicle compartment; and

a buffer material layer that faces a vehicle body panel;

the decorative layer has a first concavo-convex shape formed by press molding on a side of the vehicle compartment;

the buffer material layer has a second concavo-convex shape formed by press molding a first buffer material on a side of the vehicle body panel;

the first buffer material has a wavelike shape in which a web is repeatedly folded back in a thickness direction in the wavelike shape such that pleats are formed;

the decorative layer and the buffer material layer are at least laminated and integrated;

the second concavo-convex shape of the buffer material layer includes a first cross-sectional shape along a lamination direction of the pleats and a second cross-sectional shape along a width direction of the buffer material;

a height from a lowest part to a highest part in the first cross-sectional shape along the lamination direction of the pleats is larger than a height from a lowest part to a highest tart in the second cross-sectional shape along the width direction of the buffer material when the decorative layer is disposed on a bottom of the vehicle compartment;

a second buffer material is post-applied to a surface of the buffer material layer on the vehicle body panel side;

the second buffer material has a fiber structure in which a web is repeatedly folded back in a thickness direction in the fiber structure; and

a folding direction of constituent fibers in the second buffer material is different from a folding direction of constituent fibers in the buffer material layer.

3. The molded laying interior material for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer material layer has a portion whose thickness is 65% or less of a maximum thickness of the buffer material layer.

4. The molded laying interior material for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the buffer material layer is laminated on part of a surface on the side of the vehicle body panel, and

felt is post-applied, after the press molding, to the surface on the side of the vehicle body panel where the buffer material layer is not provided.

5. The molded laying interior material for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a perforated resin layer that is provided between the decorative layer and the buffer material layer; and

a sound absorbing layer that is provided between the perforated resin layer and the buffer material layer;

wherein

a plurality of holes passing through in a thickness direction is formed in the perforated resin layer;

the decorative layer has air permeability;

the perforated resin layer has a third concavo-convex shape formed by press molding;

the sound absorbing layer has a fourth concavo-convex shape formed by press molding;

the decorative layer, the perforated resin layer, the sound absorbing layer and the buffer material layer are at least laminated and integrated;

the third concavo-convex shape of the perforated resin layer is different from the second concavo-convex shape of the buffer material layer; and

the fourth concavo-convex shape of the sound absorbing layer is different from the second concavo-convex shape of the buffer material layer.

6. The molded laying interior material for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a perforated resin layer that is provided between the decorative layer and the buffer material layer;

wherein

a plurality of holes passing through in a thickness direction is formed in the perforated resin layer;

the decorative layer has air permeability;

the perforated resin layer has a third concavo-convex shape formed by press molding;

the decorative layer, the perforated resin layer and the buffer material layer are at least laminated and integrated;

the third concavo-convex shape of the perforated resin layer is different from the second concavo-convex shape of the buffer material layer; and

the perforated resin layer is in contact with the buffer material layer.
