A decorated resin molded article that can secure a high durability and can represent a sufficiently realistic metal texture in appearance is provided as follows. A metal thin film is directly formed on a design surface of a substrate by either a physical vapor deposition method or a chemical vapor deposition method to provide a metallic decoration. Additionally, a topcoat layer is formed with a thickness of 10 to 40 &#x3bc;m on the metal thin film. The topcoat layer comprises a transparent coating film having an adhesive property to both of the substrate and the metal thin film.

Decorated resin molded article and method for producing the same

A shock absorbing structure for a vehicle, including resin bodies spaced apart from each other, and at least one connecting body each connecting adjacent resin bodies. Each connecting body includes first and second connecting members which are made of a synthetic resin material having flexibility. Each of the connecting members connects the adjacent resin bodies such that each first connecting member and each second connecting member corresponding to each first connecting member are spaced apart from each other in a direction intersecting a direction in which the resin bodies are spaced apart from each other. At least one of the first connecting members and at least one of the second connecting members includes at least one curved/bent portion which is flexible in a plane perpendicular to a shock-receiving direction in which a shock is to be primarily applied to the resin bodies.

Shock absorbing structure for vehicle

A shock absorbing structure for a vehicle, including (a) a plurality of main bodies each made of a resin and including a lateral wall that extends substantially in a shock-receiving direction in which a shock is to be primarily applied to the shock absorbing structure, and (b) at least one connecting body each made of a resin and connecting adjacent ones of the main bodies. Each of the at least one connecting body includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion has a shape configured to be deformable more easily in a perpendicular direction that is perpendicular to the shock-receiving direction, than in a parallel direction that is parallel to the shock-receiving direction. The second connecting portion has a shape configured to be deformable more easily in the parallel direction than in the perpendicular direction.

Shock absorbing structure, and assembly including the structure and vehicle interior component

A shock absorbing structure for a motor vehicle, including a base plate having a thickness greater than 1.5 mm, and a plurality of ribs formed so as to constitute a latticework on one of opposite major surfaces of the base plate. The latticework has a plurality of rectangular cells each having two pairs of adjacent sides. The ribs have a thickness in a range of 0.6-1.2 mm. One of the two adjacent sides of each cell of the latticework of the ribs has a first length of 30-50 mm, and the other side has a second length greater than 30 mm and not greater than 50 mm. The base plate and ribs are formed of a synthetic resin material comprising polyolefin, which material has an Izod impact strength of not smaller than 5 kgcm/cm, and a tangent modulus of elasticity in a range of 5000-20000 kg/cm.sup.2.
