Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A garnish includes a heating element, a base member, and a circuit board. The heating element is configured by stacking first and second sheet materials and interposing a heater wire in between. The circuit board includes a power source line and is fixed to a back surface of the base member. The heating element includes a main body portion and an extending portion. The extending portion includes a power source connection portion for connecting the heater wire to the power source line and extends to the back surface of the base member. The main body portion of the heating element is fixed to a laying surface of the base member by fixing the second sheet material to the base member. The heater wire is exposed in the power source connection portion without stacking the second sheet material on the first sheet material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle decorative component comprising: a heating element configured by stacking first and second sheet materials and interposing a heater wire that generates heat by energization between the first and second sheet materials; a base member including a laying surface for the heating element on a front surface forming a design surface; and a circuit board that includes a power source line forming a power supply path for the heating element and is fixed to a back surface of the base member, wherein the heating element includes a main body portion fixed to the laying surface, and an extending portion that includes a power source connection portion for connecting the heater wire to the power source line and extends to the back surface of the base member, the main body portion is fixed to the laying surface by fixing the second sheet material to the base member, and the heater wire is exposed in the power source connection portion without stacking the second sheet material on the first sheet material. 2. The vehicle decorative component according to claim 1 , wherein the second sheet material is an adhesive sheet having an adhesive force to the base member. 3. The vehicle decorative component according to claim 1 , wherein a hole portion that extends through the first sheet material to expose the heater wire is provided in the power source connection portion. 4.
