A vehicle interior trim component and a method for manufacturing the same are provided in which a vehicle interior trim component comprises a substrate provided with a groove portion having a plurality of bottomed groove portions and a plurality of cutout groove portions from which the bottoms have been cut, and a trim member provided with a first cover portion, the second cover portion, and a fixing member mounted on a boundary portion between the first cover portion and the second cover portion, the first cover portion located on the opposite side of the groove portion from a second cover portion, the trim member covering the substrate. The boundary portion including the fixing member is attached to the groove portion by insertion through one end of the groove portion. Each of the cutout groove portions is provided on its edge with a retainer for retaining the fixing member.

An off-line teaching apparatus comprises an operation command-receiving means for receiving an operation command inputted via an input/output port from a key input device or a coordinate input device and successively storing the operation command in a buffer; an operation command-reading means for successively reading the operation command stored in the buffer; an operation command-counting means for counting a number of operation commands stored in the buffer; and a confirmation sound-generating means for generating confirmation sound upon receipt of the operation, command by the operation command-receiving means when a counted value obtained by the operation command-counting means is not less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, the operator can be informed, in real time, of the fact that the system responds to the input of the operation command from the operator. Thus, it is possible to improve the operability of the off-line teaching.

Off-line teaching apparatus

Disclosed is an off-line teaching method for correcting a robot model to be used in an off-line teaching system. Multi-point multi-attitude teaching capable of obtaining the best correcting calculation result of those obtained with a logical robot model as a correction objective is performed by using an off-line teaching apparatus (steps S,to S,). Teaching data obtained in the steps S,to S,is downloaded from the off-line teaching apparatus to an actual robot as a correction objective (step S,). Subsequently, the teaching data is revised on the basis of a difference between an actual target point and an operation point of the actual robot based on the teaching data (step S,). After that, teaching data obtained after the revision is uploaded to the off-line teaching apparatus (step S,) to estimate and calculate a correction amount by using the uploaded data (step S,). Accordingly, it is possible to stably obtain teaching data usable to accurately estimate the correction amount, and it is possible to decrease the number of working steps based on the use of the actual robot.

The process effected by an application-deciding means as one of constitutive components of a display-processing means is used to start a teaching application corresponding to a robot model designated by using a coordinate input device, of a plurality of robot models displayed on a screen of a monitor to make it possible to perform teaching based on the designated robot model. Accordingly, it is possible to easily start the application corresponding to the designated robot model when the plurality of robot models displayed on the monitor are operated by using a keyboard or a pointing device (for example, a mouse).

An off-line teaching apparatus includes an operation command-receiving device for receiving an operation command inputted via an input/output port from a key input device or a coordinate input device and successively storing the operation command in a buffer; an operation command-reading device for successively reading the operation command stored in the buffer; an operation command-counting device for counting a number of operation commands stored in the buffer; and a confirmation sound-generating device for generating confirmation sound upon receipt of the operation command by the operation command-receiving device when a counted value obtained by the operation command-counting device is not less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, the operator is informed, in real time, of the fact that the system responds to the input of the operation command from the operator. Thus, it is possible to improve the operability of the off-line teaching.

A method for setting a tool-based working condition in off-line teaching makes it possible to automatically set an optimum tool-based working condition while referring to specifications of a tool and workpiece-based working conditions so that reduced operation time required for the off-line teaching is efficiently realize. The method comprises steps of designating a welding point on CAD data of a workpiece; a step of retrieving one or more part codes concerning the welding point; a step of obtaining a combination of attribute codes necessary for the welding concerning the retrieved one or more part codes; a step of deciding a workpiece-based working condition on the basis of the obtained combination of attribute codes; a step of judging whether or not the decided workpiece-based working condition is included in specified specifications of a tool; and a step of retrieving a tool-based working condition suitable for the workpiece-based working condition from the specifications of the tool if the workpiece-based working condition is included in the specifications of the tool, so that teaching data is reflected thereby.

A spare tire cover covering a spare tire supported on a bracket fixed on a rear gate or the like of a vehicle includes a first sheet portion having an opening into which the bracket is inserted and for covering one side surface of the spare tire, a second sheet portion covering an outer peripheral surface of the spare tire, and a third sheet portion for covering another side surface of the spare tire. The opening is biased in a shrinking direction by means of elastic bands accommodated at a fringe and can be opened at three slits extending in a radial direction. The spare tire cover is positioned in a rotational direction by contacting a straight portion formed on an upper fringe of the opening with a straight spare tire cover supporting portion horizontally formed on an upper surface of the bracket. Thus, a tilt of a logotype or the like printed on the spare tire cover can be prevented.
