  • Pocket structure in interior trim
    Patent number: 7008003
    Abstract: A pocket (P) structure formed by providing a pocket opening (41) in a trim main body and installing a case-shaped pocket cover (50) having an upper opening (51) on the rear side of the pocket opening (41) is provided. The front wall part of the pocket (P) is formed in a double wall structure comprising the trim main body (40) and a front wall (55) of the pocket cover (50). The trim main body (40) and the front wall (55) of the pocket cover (50) are provided with locking holes (44) and locking pieces (56), respectively, so as to eliminate iron clips in order to reduce cost and simplify a recycle operation.
