Laminated composite interior part

Abstract

A laminated composite interior part comprising: a first member having a mating surface; a second member which is made of an elastically deformable resin material, and which has a plate portion substantially parallel to the mating surface, the plate portion being provided with a multiplicity of protrusions which are formed integrally with the plate portion and which protrude toward the mating surface such that the plate portion and the mating surface cooperate to define a space between the plate portion and the mating surface, the second member being placed on the first member with the protrusions being in contact with the mating surface; the laminated composite interior part having cushioning properties and thus a predetermined tactile feel provided by elastic deformation of the protrusions, which is to be caused as distal ends of the protrusions are pressed against the mating surface; the multiplicity of protrusions being identical with one another in shape, a base end portion of each of the protrusions and a center of contact between the each of the protrusions and the mating surface being offset from each other so as not to overlap each other in a planar direction of the mating surface, each of the protrusions being flexurally deformed in a given direction about an axis that is determined by a positional relationship between the base end portion of the each of the protrusions and the center of the contact, and the multiplicity of protrusions being interspersed on the plate portion so as to be arranged at predetermined intervals depending on the height of the protrusions so that the protrusions do not interfere with each other when flexurally deformed; and the multiplicity of the protrusions being positioned on sides of a multiplicity of polygons having the same in shape and size that cooperate to form a grid pattern in which each adjacent pair of the polygons have a common side that is common to the each adjacent pair of the polygons.
