Abstract

An interior equipment including: a sewn portion where seam allowances of first and second covers are overlapped in a state where front surface thereof face each other; a regulating member which regulates a falling direction of a leg portion of a piping, wherein the regulating member is attached to a second cover side of the sewn portion and protrudes from an end of the sewn portion, and wherein, in a state of being pressed against a corner portion of a pad member, the regulating member falls toward the first cover together with the leg portion of the piping which is co-sewn to the sewn portion, and thereby a portion of the first cover which is folded back at a seam is arranged to be overlapped with the sewn portion on the corner portion in a state of being raised by a head portion of the piping.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An interior equipment comprising:
a pad member which is elastically deformable;
a first cover which covers the pad member and includes a seam allowance;
a second cover which covers the pad member and includes a seam allowance, the second cover being different from the first cover;
a sewn portion where the seam allowances of the first and second covers are overlapped in a state where a front surface of the seam allowance of the first cover and a front surface of the seam allowance of the second cover face each other;
a seam which sews the seam allowances at the sewn portion;
a piping which is arranged on a back side of the first cover, the piping including a columnar head portion extending along the seam and a plate-shaped leg portion integrated with the head portion, the leg portion being applied to a first cover side of the sewn portion, and the leg portion being co-sewn by the seam in a state where the head portion is arranged on a portion of the first cover which is folded back at the seam; and
a regulating member which regulates a falling direction of the leg portion of the piping,
wherein the pad member forms at least a part of an outer shape of the interior equipment and includes: a first design surface covered with the first cover; a second design surface covered with the second cover; and a corner portion forming an edge of the first design surface and connected to the second design surface,
wherein the regulating member is attached to a second cover side of the sewn portion and protrudes from an end of the sewn portion, and
wherein, in a state of being pressed against the corner portion, the regulating member falls toward the first cover together with the leg portion of the piping which is co-sewn to the sewn portion, and thereby the portion of the first cover which is folded back at the seam is arranged to be overlapped with the sewn portion on the corner portion in a state of being raised by the head portion of the piping.

2. The interior equipment according to claim 1 ,
wherein the regulating member is a planar member having flexibility and is applied and fixed to the second cover side of the sewn portion.

3. The interior equipment according to claim 2 ,
wherein the regulating member is adhered and fixed to the second cover side of the sewn portion, and an end portion of the regulating member protruding from the sewn portion is adhered and fixed to the back side of the first cover.

4. The interior equipment according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first cover includes a first seam allowance sewn to the second cover and a second seam allowance provided on a side opposite to the first seam allowance and sewn to a third cover, the third cover being different from the first cover and the second cover, and
wherein the regulating member is sewn and fixed to the second cover side of the sewn portion, and an end portion of the regulating member protruding from the sewn portion is sewn and fixed to a side of the second seam allowance.

5. The interior equipment according to claim 1 ,
wherein the interior equipment includes a vehicle seat installed in a vehicle compartment.

6. The interior equipment according to claim 5 ,
wherein the first design surface of the pad member is a seating surface on which an occupant of the vehicle seat is able to be seated.

7. The interior equipment according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of the first and second covers includes:
a surface member which is made of synthetic leather and forms an outer surface of the interior equipment; and
an elastic member which is elastically deformable, the elastic member being laminated with the surface member.
