Abstract
A laminated composite interior component including: a first member that has a predetermined mating surface; and a second member made of an elastically deformable resin material and having a plate portion that is generally parallel to the mating surface, the plate portion being integrally provided with a large number of projections that project toward the mating surface such that a space is formed between the mating surface and the plate portion, the second member being disposed so as to be placed on the first member with the projections contacting the mating surface, in which the large number of projections have the same shape as each other, and are configured such that a flexural rigidity of each of the projections against a compressive load is anisotropic around an axis so that the projections are each to be deflected in one direction around the axis, the large number of projections are disposed on line segments that define a shape of a large number of arrangement units in accordance with an arrangement pattern in which the arrangement units are provided regularly, and distal ends of the projections are pressed against the mating surface so that the projections are elastically deformed to impart cushioning properties, the arrangement pattern being determined such that the large number of arrangement units are provided away from each other and proximate line segments of adjacent arrangement units are parallel to each other, and two projections each provided on the proximate line segments being disposed in such an attitude that deflection directions, which correspond to the one direction, of the two projections are parallel to each other and at positions at which a clearance is provided between the two projections when the two projections are deflected.
