Abstract

An interior structure for vehicle includes a first member and a second member that can be superimposed on the first member and that is elastically deformable. A second superimposed surface of the second member includes a plurality of recesses that are open toward a first superimposed surface of the first member, and that are independent of each other without communicating with each other. The plurality of recesses include a plurality of large recesses having a large volume, and a plurality of small recesses having a smaller volume than the volume of the plurality of large recesses. Portions in which the plurality of large recesses are located form a low-elasticity portion of the second member. Portions in which the plurality of small recesses are located form a high-elasticity portion of the second member.

Claims (45)

1 . An interior structure for vehicle comprising:

a first member having a first superimposed surface; and

a second member having a second superimposed surface superimposed on the first superimposed surface, and being elastically deformable,

wherein the second member comprises a low-elasticity portion that is easy to be elastically deformed, and a high-elasticity portion that is hard to be elastically deformed than the low-elasticity portion,

one of the first superimposed surface and the second superimposed surface comprises a plurality of recesses that are open toward the other superimposed surface, and that are independent of each other without communicating with each other,

the plurality of recesses comprise a plurality of large recesses having a large volume, and a plurality of small recesses having a smaller volume than the volume of the plurality of large recesses,

portions in which the plurality of large recesses are located form the low-elasticity portion of the second member, and

portions in which the plurality of small recesses are located form the high-elasticity portion of the second member.

2 . An interior structure for vehicle comprising:

a first member having a first superimposed surface; and

a second member having a second superimposed surface superimposed on the first superimposed surface, and being elastically deformable,

wherein the second member comprises a low-elasticity portion that is easy to be elastically deformed, and a high-elasticity portion that is hard to be elastically deformed than the low-elasticity portion,

one of the first superimposed surface and the second superimposed surface comprises a plurality of recesses that are open toward the other superimposed surface, and that are independent of each other without communicating with each other,

shapes and volumes of the recesses are the same as each other,

the plurality of recesses comprise a dense portion in which a spacing between the recesses is set to be narrow, and a sparse portion in which a spacing between the recesses is set to be wider than the spacing of the dense portion,

the dense portion forms the low-elasticity portion of the second member, and

the sparse portion forms the high-elasticity portion of the second member.

3 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second superimposed surface of the second member comprises the plurality of recesses.

4 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second superimposed surface of the second member comprises the plurality of recesses.

5 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses are located in a staggered pattern as a whole.

6 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses are located in a staggered pattern as a whole.

7 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses are located in a staggered pattern as a whole.

8 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 4 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses are located in a staggered pattern as a whole.

9 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

10 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

11 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

12 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 4 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

13 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 5 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

14 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 6 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

15 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 7 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.

16 . The interior structure for vehicle according to claim 8 ,

wherein the plurality of recesses have a truncated conical shape.
