Abstract

A vehicle interior structure including: a first structure; a second structure disposed adjacent to the first structure; and another member disposed on a design surface side of at least one of the first structure and the second structure, wherein a falling restriction part configured to restrict the other member from falling into a gap between the first structure and the second structure is provided to at least one of the first structure and the second structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A vehicle interior structure comprising:
a first structure; a second structure disposed adjacent to the first structure; and another member disposed on a design surface side of at least one of the first structure and the second structure, wherein a falling restriction part configured to restrict the other member from falling into a gap between the first structure and the second structure is provided to at least one of the first structure and the second structure.

2 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein a first surface different from a design surface of the first structure and a second surface different from a design surface of the second structure are arranged to face each other in a state where the first structure and the second structure are arranged adjacent to each other, and wherein the falling restriction part is provided to the first surface and protrudes toward the second surface.

3 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 2 ,
wherein the falling restriction part enters into the second structure through an insertion portion of the second surface.

4 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 3 ,
wherein the vehicle interior structure includes a vehicle seat and the first structure includes a seat back configured to support an occupant's back, and wherein the falling restriction part is provided to the first structure and the insertion portion is provided to the second structure.

5 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the other member includes a band-like member to which a tension is applied in a falling direction of the other member.

6 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 5 ,
wherein the tension applied to the other member in the falling direction of the other member gradually increases from one end side toward another end side of the other member, and wherein the falling restriction part is disposed at a position closer to an arrangement position of the other end than an arrangement position of the one end of the other member.

7 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the falling restriction part includes a core portion integrated with a frame forming a framework of at least one of the first structure and the second structure.

8 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 7 ,
wherein the falling restriction part includes a covering part whose surface is smoother than the core portion, and the covering portion covers a portion of the core portion which is in contact with the other member.

9 . The vehicle interior structure according to claim 8 ,
wherein the covering portion is made of a foamed resin.
