The inner surface 12 is located on the opposite side of the outer surface 11 in the thickness direction of the interior part 10. As shown in Figure 2, marks or letters are formed on the indicator portion 20.

　図２に示すように、内装部品１０の内面１２には、後述するランプユニットが取り付けられるアタッチメント１３が設けられていてもよい。 As shown in Figure 2, the inner surface 12 of the interior component 10 may be provided with an attachment 13 to which a lamp unit (described later) can be attached.

　図３は、内装部品１０の内面１２に設置されたランプユニット６０の一例を示す斜視図である。ランプユニット６０は、少なくとも１つのランプを含む。ランプは、例えばＬＥＤである。ランプは、インジケータ部分２０に向けて光を放射する。光がインジケータ部分２０を通ると、マーク、文字などがインジケータ部分２０に明確に現れる。 Figure 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a lamp unit 60 installed on the inner surface 12 of the interior part 10. The lamp unit 60 includes at least one lamp. The lamp is, for example, an LED. The lamp emits light toward the indicator portion 20. When the light passes through the indicator portion 20, marks, letters, etc. appear clearly on the indicator portion 20.

　図４は、車両に取り付けられた状態の内装部品１０の一例を示す断面図である。図４に示す例において、内装部品１０は、車両のフロントガラス５に取り付けられている。カメラ７０がブラケット７５によってフロントガラス５に取り付けられていてもよい。内装部品１０は、カメラ７０を覆っていてもよい。内装部品１０は、カメラ７０が乗員からは見えないよう構成されていてもよい。例えば、内装部品１０は、黒色などに着色されていてもよい。 Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of an interior part 10 attached to a vehicle. In the example shown in Figure 4, the interior part 10 is attached to the vehicle's windshield 5. A camera 70 may be attached to the windshield 5 by a bracket 75. The interior part 10 may cover the camera 70. The interior part 10 may be configured so that the camera 70 is not visible to the occupants. For example, the interior part 10 may be colored black or the like.

　内装部品１０が着色されている場合であっても、内装部品１０は、ある程度の光を透過させることはできる。ランプユニット６０のランプ６１から放射された光がインジケータ部分２０を通ると、乗員は、インジケータ部分２０に表示されるマーク、文字などを視認できる。 Even if the interior part 10 is colored, it can still transmit a certain amount of light. When light emitted from the lamp 61 of the lamp unit 60 passes through the indicator portion 20, the occupant can see the marks, letters, etc. displayed on the indicator portion 20.

　図５は、インジケータ部分２０の一例を示す平面図である。インジケータ部分２０は、少なくとも１つの第１領域２１と、第１領域２１の周囲に位置する第２領域２６と、を含んでいる。インジケータ部分２０は、複数の第１領域２１を含んでいてもよい。１つの第１領域２１は、１つのマーク２２の形状又は１つの文字２３の形状に対応している。例えば、１つの第１領域２１は、１つの「Ｓ」という文字の形状に対応している。 FIG. 5 is a plan view showing an example of the indicator portion 20. The indicator portion 20 includes at least one first region 21 and a second region 26 located around the first region 21. The indicator portion 20 may include multiple first regions 21. One first region 21 corresponds to the shape of one mark 22 or one character 23. For example, one first region 21 corresponds to the shape of one letter "S."

　図示はしないが、上述のランプユニット６０は、第１領域２１のマーク２２又は文字２３の種類に応じて複数のランプ６１を含んでいてもよい。例えば、図５に示すインジケータ部分２０に向けて光を放射するランプユニット６０は、４つのランプ６１を含んでいてもよい。第１のランプ６１は、「PASSENGER AIR BAG」という文字の群に向けて光を放射する。第２のランプ６１は、「OFF」という文字の群とマークの組み合わせに向けて光を放射する。第３のランプ６１は、「ON」という文字の群とマークの組み合わせに向けて光を放射する。第４のランプ６１は、鍵のマークに向けて光を放射する。第１～第４のランプ６１は、独立にオン又はオフするよう制御されてもよい。 Although not shown, the lamp unit 60 described above may include multiple lamps 61 depending on the type of mark 22 or character 23 in the first area 21. For example, the lamp unit 60 that emits light toward the indicator portion 20 shown in FIG. 5 may include four lamps 61. The first lamp 61 emits light toward the group of characters "PASSENGER AIR BAG." The second lamp 61 emits light toward the combination of the group of characters "OFF" and the character. The third lamp 61 emits light toward the combination of the group of characters "ON" and the character. The fourth lamp 61 emits light toward the key character. The first to fourth lamps 61 may be controlled to turn on or off independently.

　図４を参照して、内装部品１０の断面構造を説明する。 The cross-sectional structure of the interior part 10 will be explained with reference to Figure 4.

　図４に示すように、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０は、共通するベース層４０を含んでいる。ベース層４０は、インジケータ部分２０から隣接部分３０まで連続的に広がっている。このため、インジケータ部分２０と隣接部分３０との間に、隙間、段差などの構造的な境界がない。言い換えると、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０がシームレスに構成されている。シームレスな構造を採用することにより、内装部品１０の意匠性が高められる。 As shown in Figure 4, the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30 include a common base layer 40. The base layer 40 extends continuously from the indicator portion 20 to the adjacent portion 30. As a result, there is no structural boundary, such as a gap or step, between the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30. In other words, the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30 are configured seamlessly. The adoption of a seamless structure enhances the design of the interior part 10.

　後述する比較の形態のように、インジケータ部分２０と隣接部分３０との間に構造的な境界が存在する場合、境界が乗員によって視認される。本実施の形態によれば、インジケータ部分２０と隣接部分３０との間の境界が、乗員によって視認されない、若しくは目立たないので、インジケータ部分２０に表示されるマーク２２、文字２３などがより目立つ。このため、インジケータ部分２０と隣接部分３０との間に構造的な境界が存在する場合に比べて、マーク２２、文字２３などの視認性が改善される。 When a structural boundary exists between the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30, as in the comparative embodiment described below, the boundary is visible to the occupant. According to this embodiment, the boundary between the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30 is not visible or noticeable to the occupant, so the mark 22, letters 23, etc. displayed on the indicator portion 20 are more noticeable. As a result, the visibility of the mark 22, letters 23, etc. is improved compared to when a structural boundary exists between the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30.

　ベース層４０は、外面４１及び内面４２を含んでいる。ベース層４０の外面４１が、インジケータ部分２０の外面１１及び隣接部分３０の外面１１を構成していてもよい。ベース層４０の内面４２が、インジケータ部分２０の内面１２及び隣接部分３０の内面１２を構成していてもよい。 The base layer 40 includes an outer surface 41 and an inner surface 42. The outer surface 41 of the base layer 40 may form the outer surface 11 of the indicator portion 20 and the outer surface 11 of the adjacent portion 30. The inner surface 42 of the base layer 40 may form the inner surface 12 of the indicator portion 20 and the inner surface 12 of the adjacent portion 30.

　ベース層４０は、光が透過可能な材料によって構成されている。例えば、ベース層４０は、光透過性樹脂を含んでいる。光透過性樹脂は、例えばポリカーボネートである。好ましくは、ベース層４０は、透明性を有するグレードのポリカーボネートなどの樹脂によって構成されている。 The base layer 40 is made of a material that allows light to pass through. For example, the base layer 40 contains a light-transmitting resin. An example of a light-transmitting resin is polycarbonate. Preferably, the base layer 40 is made of a resin such as a transparent grade of polycarbonate.

　インジケータ部分２０の第１領域２１の厚みは、光が強度を十分に維持しながら第１領域２１を透過できるよう設定されている。第１領域２１の厚みは、例えば３．０ｍｍ以下であり、２．０ｍｍ以下であってもよい。 The thickness of the first region 21 of the indicator portion 20 is set so that light can pass through the first region 21 while maintaining sufficient intensity. The thickness of the first region 21 is, for example, 3.0 mm or less, and may be 2.0 mm or less.

　図６を参照して、内装部品１０の断面構造を詳細に説明する。図６は、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０の一例を示す断面図である。 The cross-sectional structure of the interior part 10 will be described in detail with reference to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the indicator portion 20 and adjacent portion 30.

　インジケータ部分２０の第１領域２１は、インジケータ部分２０に向けて放射される光Ｌ１を透過させる透過部である。一方、インジケータ部分２０の第２領域２６は、インジケータ部分２０に向けて放射される光Ｌ１を遮蔽する遮蔽部である。例えば、図６に示すように、第２領域２６は、内面に位置する複数の凸部４５を含んでいる。複数の凸部４５は、ベース層４０の内面４２に形成されていてもよい。複数の凸部４５は、例えば、レーザ加工によって内面に形成される。 The first region 21 of the indicator portion 20 is a transparent portion that transmits light L1 emitted toward the indicator portion 20. On the other hand, the second region 26 of the indicator portion 20 is a shielding portion that blocks light L1 emitted toward the indicator portion 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the second region 26 includes multiple protrusions 45 located on the inner surface. The multiple protrusions 45 may be formed on the inner surface 42 of the base layer 40. The multiple protrusions 45 are formed on the inner surface by, for example, laser processing.

　第２領域２６の内面に到達した光Ｌ１は、矢印Ｌ２で示されるように、複数の凸部４５によって様々な方向へ拡散される。このため、第２領域２６の全光線透過率は、第１領域２１の全光線透過率よりも低い。２つの領域２１，２６の全光線透過率の差に基づいて、マーク、文字などがインジケータ部分２０に明確に現れることができる。 Light L1 that reaches the inner surface of the second region 26 is diffused in various directions by the multiple protrusions 45, as indicated by arrow L2. As a result, the total light transmittance of the second region 26 is lower than that of the first region 21. Based on the difference in total light transmittance between the two regions 21 and 26, marks, letters, etc. can appear clearly on the indicator portion 20.

　図示はしないが、第２領域２６は、内面に位置する複数の凹部を含んでいてもよい。この場合も、第２領域２６の内面に到達した光Ｌ１は、複数の凹部によって様々な方向へ拡散される。 Although not shown, the second region 26 may include multiple recesses located on its inner surface. In this case, too, light L1 that reaches the inner surface of the second region 26 is diffused in various directions by the multiple recesses.

　インジケータ部分２０の第１領域２１の全光線透過率は、マーク、文字などがインジケータ部分２０に明確に現れるよう設定されている。第１領域２１の全光線透過率は、好ましくは３．７％以上である。第１領域２１がベース層４０からなる場合、ベース層４０の全光線透過率は、好ましくは３．７％以上である。 The total light transmittance of the first region 21 of the indicator portion 20 is set so that marks, letters, etc. appear clearly on the indicator portion 20. The total light transmittance of the first region 21 is preferably 3.7% or more. If the first region 21 is made of the base layer 40, the total light transmittance of the base layer 40 is preferably 3.7% or more.

　上述のように、内装部品１０は、黒色などに着色されていてもよい。例えば、ベース層４０は、顔料、染料などの着色剤を含んでいてもよい。これにより、内装部品１０によって覆われているカメラ７０などが乗員によって視認されることを抑制できる。ベース層４０が着色剤を含む場合であっても、２つの領域２１，２６の全光線透過率の差に基づいて、マーク、文字などがインジケータ部分２０に明確に現れることができる。 As mentioned above, the interior part 10 may be colored black or other colors. For example, the base layer 40 may contain a coloring agent such as a pigment or dye. This prevents the camera 70 and other components covered by the interior part 10 from being visible to the occupants. Even when the base layer 40 contains a coloring agent, marks, letters, and the like can be clearly seen in the indicator portion 20 based on the difference in total light transmittance between the two regions 21, 26.

　図６において、符号Ｂ１が付された点線は、インジケータ部分２０と隣接部分３０との間の境界を示している。符号Ｂ２が付された点線は、インジケータ部分２０の第１領域２１と第２領域２６との間の境界を示している。境界Ｂ１及び境界Ｂ２のいずれも、隙間、段差などの構造的な境界を外面４１において含んでいない。すなわち、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０がシームレスに構成されている。このため、インジケータ部分２０に向けて光Ｌ１が放射されていない時、境界Ｂ１及び境界Ｂ２は、乗員によって視認されない、若しくは目立たない。 In Figure 6, the dotted line labeled B1 indicates the boundary between the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30. The dotted line labeled B2 indicates the boundary between the first region 21 and the second region 26 of the indicator portion 20. Neither boundary B1 nor boundary B2 includes a structural boundary such as a gap or step on the outer surface 41. In other words, the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30 are configured seamlessly. Therefore, when light L1 is not emitted toward the indicator portion 20, boundary B1 and boundary B2 are not visible or noticeable to the occupant.

　本実施の形態の効果の一例を、比較の形態との対比に基づいて説明する。図７は、比較の形態における内装部品１０の外面１１を示す斜視図である。比較の形態の内装部品１０は、穴１５を含む。穴１５にインジケータユニットを嵌め込むことにより、インジケータの機能が実現される。 An example of the effect of this embodiment will be described in comparison with a comparative embodiment. Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the outer surface 11 of the interior part 10 in the comparative embodiment. The interior part 10 in the comparative embodiment includes a hole 15. The indicator function is realized by fitting an indicator unit into the hole 15.

　図８は、比較の形態の内装部品１０の穴１５に嵌め込まれるインジケータユニット６５を示す斜視図である。インジケータユニット６５は、マーク又は文字が表示されるインジケータ部６６と、インジケータ部６６に向けて光を放射するランプと、を含む。 Figure 8 is a perspective view showing an indicator unit 65 fitted into the hole 15 of an interior part 10 in a comparative example. The indicator unit 65 includes an indicator portion 66 that displays a mark or character, and a lamp that emits light toward the indicator portion 66.

　図９は、車両に取り付けられた状態の、比較の形態の内装部品１０を示す断面図である。インジケータユニット６５のランプ６１は、インジケータ部６６に向けて光を放射する。インジケータ部６６は、内装部品１０の穴１５に位置している。インジケータ部６６の外面６７が、内装部品１０の外面１１の一部を構成している。 Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a comparative interior part 10 installed in a vehicle. The lamp 61 of the indicator unit 65 emits light toward the indicator portion 66. The indicator portion 66 is located in the hole 15 of the interior part 10. The outer surface 67 of the indicator portion 66 forms part of the outer surface 11 of the interior part 10.

　比較の形態において、インジケータ部６６と隣接部分３０との間の境界は、穴１５の外縁によって定められる。このため、インジケータ部６６と隣接部分３０との間の境界は、隙間、段差などの構造的な境界である。 In the comparative example, the boundary between the indicator portion 66 and the adjacent portion 30 is determined by the outer edge of the hole 15. Therefore, the boundary between the indicator portion 66 and the adjacent portion 30 is a structural boundary such as a gap or step.

　一方、本実施の形態によれば、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０がシームレスに構成されている。本実施の形態は、比較の形態に比べて、内装部品１０の意匠性及び視認性を改善できる。 On the other hand, according to this embodiment, the indicator portion 20 and the adjacent portion 30 are configured seamlessly. This embodiment can improve the design and visibility of the interior part 10 compared to the comparative embodiment.

　内装部品１０が、金型を用いて樹脂を成型することによって製造される場合について考える。内装部品１０に常にインジケータの機能が求められるとは限らない。インジケータの機能が求められる場合及び求められない場合のいずれであっても、共通の金型を用いて内装部品１０を製造できることが好ましい。 Let's consider a case where interior part 10 is manufactured by molding resin using a mold. Interior part 10 does not always need to function as an indicator. Whether or not an indicator function is required, it is preferable to be able to manufacture interior part 10 using a common mold.

　比較の形態において、インジケータの機能が求められない場合は、穴１５に対応する金型の本体の位置に、別の金型部品が嵌め込まれる。嵌め込まれる金型部品は、駒などとも称される。比較の形態において、インジケータの機能を備えない内装部品１０には、駒に起因する境界線が現れる。 In the comparative example, when the indicator function is not required, a separate mold part is fitted into the position of the mold body corresponding to the hole 15. The fitted mold part is also referred to as a bridge. In the comparative example, a boundary line caused by the bridge appears on the interior part 10 that does not have the indicator function.

　一方、本実施の形態において、インジケータの機能が求められない場合は、複数の凸部４５を形成する工程が省略されるだけであり、比較の形態の場合の駒は使用されない。このため、インジケータの機能を備えない内装部品１０に、比較の形態の場合のような境界線は現れない。この点でも本実施の形態は有利である。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, if the indicator function is not required, the process of forming the multiple protrusions 45 is simply omitted, and the bridge of the comparative embodiment is not used. As a result, the boundary line that appears in the comparative embodiment does not appear on the interior part 10 that does not have the indicator function. This is another advantage of this embodiment.

　第１領域２１の全光線透過率と第２領域２６の全光線透過率との差を実現するための手段として、第２領域２６の表面に塗装を施すことも考えられる。しかしながら、この場合、塗装のための溶剤が工程において必要になる。一方、本実施の形態のように、複数の凸部４５によって第１領域２１の全光線透過率と第２領域２６の全光線透過率との差が実現される場合、溶剤が用いられない。この点でも本実施の形態は有利である。 One way to achieve a difference between the total light transmittance of the first region 21 and the total light transmittance of the second region 26 is to apply a coating to the surface of the second region 26. However, in this case, a solvent for the coating would be required during the process. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the difference between the total light transmittance of the first region 21 and the total light transmittance of the second region 26 is achieved by using multiple protrusions 45, no solvent is used. This is another advantage of the present embodiment.

　上述した一実施形態を様々に変更できる。以下、必要に応じて図面を参照しながら、その他の実施形態について説明する。以下の説明および以下の説明で用いる図面では、上述した一実施形態と同様に構成され得る部分について、上述の一実施形態における対応する部分に対して用いた符号と同一の符号を用いる。重複する説明は省略する。また、上述した一実施形態において得られる作用効果がその他の実施形態においても得られることが明らかである場合、その説明を省略する場合もある。 The embodiment described above can be modified in various ways. Other embodiments will be described below, with reference to the drawings as necessary. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, parts that can be configured similarly to the embodiment described above will be designated by the same reference numerals as those used for the corresponding parts in the embodiment described above. Duplicate descriptions will be omitted. Furthermore, if it is clear that the effects obtained in the embodiment described above can also be obtained in other embodiments, the description of those effects may be omitted.

　図１０は、インジケータ部分２０及び隣接部分３０の一変形例を示す断面図である。図１０に示すように、インジケータ部分２０の第２領域２６は、ベース層４０の内面４２に位置するフィルム５０を含んでいてもよい。フィルム５０は、光を遮蔽するよう構成されている。第２領域２６の内面に到達した光Ｌ１は、フィルム５０によって遮られるので、ベース層４０を通過できない。このため、第２領域２６の全光線透過率は、第１領域２１の全光線透過率よりも低い。２つの領域２１，２６の全光線透過率の差に基づいて、マーク、文字などがインジケータ部分２０に明確に現れることができる。 Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing one modified example of the indicator portion 20 and adjacent portion 30. As shown in Figure 10, the second region 26 of the indicator portion 20 may include a film 50 located on the inner surface 42 of the base layer 40. The film 50 is configured to block light. Light L1 that reaches the inner surface of the second region 26 is blocked by the film 50 and cannot pass through the base layer 40. As a result, the total light transmittance of the second region 26 is lower than the total light transmittance of the first region 21. Based on the difference in the total light transmittance of the two regions 21, 26, marks, letters, etc. can appear clearly on the indicator portion 20.

　インジケータ部分２０を備える限り、内装部品１０の用途は、カバーには限られない。例えば、内装部品１０は、カメラ、レーダー、モニタなどの車載機器が取り付けられる部品であってもよい。内装部品１０は、これらの車載機器を覆っていなくてもよい。内装部品１０は、サンバイザー、センターコンソール、アームレストなどの、インジケータの機能が求められる可能性がある樹脂製品であってもよい。 As long as it has an indicator portion 20, the use of the interior part 10 is not limited to a cover. For example, the interior part 10 may be a part to which on-board equipment such as a camera, radar, or monitor is attached. The interior part 10 does not have to cover this on-board equipment. The interior part 10 may also be a resin product that may require indicator functionality, such as a sun visor, center console, or armrest.
