Abstract

The present invention provides a decorative panel including a design surface; and a circumferential edge portion that is formed so as to cross from the design surface, wherein the circumferential edge portion has a first face 7 that is continuous from the design surface along a circumferential extension direction and a second face 8 that is formed in a circumferential extension direction along the first face 7 , wherein a face variation line is provided at a boundary between the first face 7 and the second face 8 , wherein a decorative panel 1 is provided in such a manner that a decoration film 5 is imparted to at least a part of the design surface and a part of the circumferential edge portion, and wherein the decoration film 5 includes a trimming terminal portion CL along the face variation line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A decorative panel comprising:
a design surface; and
a circumferential edge portion that is formed so as to cross from the design surface, wherein the circumferential edge portion has a first face that is continuous from the design surface along a circumferential extension direction and a second face that is formed in a circumferential extension direction along the first face,
wherein the first face and the second face intersect with each other at a face variation line,
wherein the decorative panel is provided in a manner in which a decoration film is imparted to at least a part of the design surface and a part of the circumferential edge portion, and
wherein the decoration film includes a trimming terminal portion along the face variation line.

2. The decorative panel according to claim 1 ,
the second face including a discontinuous portion.

3. The decorative panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first face of the circumferential edge portion is configured so as to be inclined at an acute angle with respect to the design surface that is a top face of the decorative panel, and
wherein the second face of the circumferential edge portion is inclined so as to hang down with respect to the first face, and is configured to form a substantially right angle with respect to the design surface.

4. The decorative panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the decoration film is configured to be involved at an acute angle on the first face.

5. The decorative panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the decoration film has an excess length portion that is formed on an outer circumference of a product portion that is formed in a shape of the decorative panel, the excess length portion being formed to be bent from a boundary portion between the first face and the second face, and
wherein the rimming terminal portion is formed by the excess length portion being processed to be trimmed along the face variation line.

6. The decorative panel according to claim 5 ,
wherein the decoration film is configured with: a preformed body having a product portion that is formed in a shape of the decoration panel; and the excess length portion that is formed at an outer circumferential portion thereof, by means of preliminary molding.

7. The decorative panel according to claim 6 ,
wherein the decoration film that is made of the preformed body is integrally molded with a base material of the decorative panel and thereafter trimming processing of the excess length portion is carried out.

8. The decorative panel according to claim 2 ,
wherein the decorative panel is formed in a knife shape, and has a curve edge side and a straight edge side, and
wherein the discontinuous portions including the discontinuous portion on the second face in the circumferential edge portion are provided at least one or more on the curve edge side.

9. A vehicle interior/exterior components that are provided at an interior or an exterior of a vehicle, the vehicle interior/exterior components comprising:
a decorative panel according to claim 1 , having a mount portion; and
a target mount portion to which the mount portion is mounted, and which is configured to attach the decorative panel to the vehicle interior/exterior components.
