Abstract

A first cover body of a cover device for vehicle includes a transparent member and a support member integrally formed on a back surface of the transparent member. The support member includes a first extension portion extending from an edge of the support member to a side opposite the transparent member. The transparent member includes a second extension portion and a decoration layer. The second extension portion is integrally formed with the first extension portion. The decoration layer overlaps an entirety of the second extension portion when viewed from a front surface of the transparent member, and is opaque over an entire surface.

Claims (37)

1 . A cover device for vehicle comprising:

a first cover body including a transparent member and a support member integrally formed on a back surface of the transparent member and supporting the transparent member,

wherein the support member includes a first extension portion extending from an edge of the support member to a side opposite the transparent member, and

the transparent member includes a second extension portion integrally formed with the first extension portion, and a decoration layer that overlaps an entirety of the second extension portion when the first cover body is viewed from a front surface of the transparent member, and that is opaque over an entire surface.

2 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the support member includes a terminal portion protruding from a distal end portion of the first extension portion along the support member and in a direction away from the support member, and

the second extension portion extends rearward from the back surface of the transparent member to the terminal portion along the first extension portion.

3 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transparent member has a decorated surface having a convex shape and protruding from the front surface of the transparent member to a side opposite the second extension portion, and

the decoration layer is provided on the decorated surface in the transparent member.

4 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second cover body adjacent to and along a front surface of the first cover body,

wherein the second cover body includes a lid opening portion that is openable and closable by a lid,

a front surface of the lid matches a front surface of the second cover body in a front-back direction of the second cover body,

a first groove having a recessed shape is formed in the front surface of the second cover body, and

when the second cover body is viewed from the front surface of the second cover body, a clearance gap between an edge of the lid opening portion and an edge of the lid matches a width of the first groove.

5 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a second cover body adjacent to and along a front surface of the first cover body,

wherein the second cover body includes a lid opening portion that is openable and closable by a lid,

a front surface of the lid matches a front surface of the second cover body in a front-back direction of the second cover body,

a first groove having a recessed shape is formed in the front surface of the second cover body, and

when the second cover body is viewed from the front surface of the second cover body, a clearance gap between an edge of the lid opening portion and an edge of the lid matches a width of the first groove.

6 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a second cover body adjacent to and along a front surface of the first cover body,

wherein the second cover body includes a lid opening portion that is openable and closable by a lid,

a front surface of the lid matches a front surface of the second cover body in a front-back direction of the second cover body,

a first groove having a recessed shape is formed in the front surface of the second cover body, and

when the second cover body is viewed from the front surface of the second cover body, a clearance gap between an edge of the lid opening portion and an edge of the lid matches a width of the first groove.

7 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 4 ,

wherein a second groove having a recessed shape is formed in the front surface of the lid, and

the second groove is disposed at a position continuous with the first groove of the second cover body.

8 . The cover device for vehicle according to claim 5 ,

wherein a second groove having a recessed shape is formed in the front surface of the lid, and

the second groove is disposed at a position continuous with the first groove of the second cover body.
