Abstract

Provided is a multilayer composite interior component in which boundary protrusions () aligned in a row on both sides of a parting line (L) are arranged in a staggered manner so as to bend toward the boundary protrusions () in the row opposite thereto. In this way, even when the boundary protrusions () are separated from the parting line (L) by a predetermined distance (g, g) in order to maintain the strength of a divided mold, the boundary protrusions () bend and deform so as to fill in an empty part in the vicinity of the parting line (L) when a surface layer member () is pressed by fingers or a hand. As a result, a feeling of unevenness resulting from decreases in reaction force in the vicinity of the parting line (L) is minimized, thus making it possible to obtain a more uniform texture.
