Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A skin material for vehicle interior is bonded to a resinous vehicle interior base. The skin material for vehicle interior includes a woven fabric woven by using synthetic resin fibers, side emission type optical fibers, and heat fusible fibers as warps or wefts. The synthetic resin fibers and the side emission type optical fibers adjacent to the synthetic resin fibers are bonded in respective longitudinal directions thereof by the heat fusible fibers. Even when a plurality of the side emission type optical fibers are woven between the adjacent synthetic resin fibers, the adjacent side emission type optical fibers may be bonded to each other in the longitudinal direction by the heat fusible fibers. The heat fusible fibers may be obtained by twisting multifilaments and heat fusion yarns having a melting point lower than that of the multifilaments, and the multifilaments remain as constituent yarns after the bonding.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A skin material for vehicle interior bonded to a resinous vehicle interior base, the skin material for vehicle interior comprising a woven fabric woven by using synthetic resin fibers, side emission type optical fibers, and heat fusible fibers as warps or wefts, wherein the synthetic resin fibers and the side emission type optical fibers adjacent to the synthetic resin fibers are bonded in respective longitudinal directions by the heat fusible fibers, and wherein the synthetic resin fibers have a larger diameter than a diameter of the side emission type optical fibers and a diameter of the heat fusible fibers. 2. The skin material for vehicle interior according to claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of the side emission type optical fibers are woven between the synthetic resin fibers adjacent to each other; and the side emission type optical fibers adjacent to each other are bonded to each other in the longitudinal direction by the heat fusible fibers. 3. The skin material for vehicle interior according to claim 1 , wherein the heat fusible fibers comprise multifilament fibers and heat fusion fibers twisted together, the heat fusion fibers having a melting point lower than that of the multifilament fibers. 4. The skin material for vehicle interior according to claim 2 , wherein the heat fusible fibers comprise multifilament fibers and heat fusion fibers twisted together, the heat fusion fibers having a melting point lower than that of the multifilament fibers. 5. The skin material for vehicle interior according to claim 3 , wherein the multifilament fibers remain as constituent yarns after the bonding. 6. The skin material for vehicle interior according to claim 4 , wherein the multifilament fibers remain as constituent yarns after the bonding.
