Abstract: Disclosed is a joining structure between a top fabric 3 and a window glass 4 in a convertible vehicle top, which comprises a folded portion 32 formed by folding back a peripheral edge 3a of a window opening 7 of the top fabric 3 on an inner surface of an external portion 31 of the top fabric 3 and provided with a plurality of cutouts 5 formed along an edge 32a thereof, and an adhesive layer 8 interposed between the window glass 4 and the top fabric 3 having the folded portion 32 disposed to overlap with a peripheral edge 4a of the window glass 4, in such a manner as to extend from a region where the folded portion 32 and the window glass 4 are located in opposed relation to one another to a region where the external portion 31 and the window glass 4 are located in opposed relation to one another.

Abstract: A leather-like foam sheet for vacuum forming, which comprises:(1) a transparent of semitransparent colored polyurethane elastomer film layer,(2) a colored polyurethane elastomer film layer,(3) a polyurethane adhesive layer,(4) a thermoplastic resin foam layer (optional),(5) a thermoplastic resin sheet layer, and(6) a thermoplastic resin foam layer.The foam sheet of the present invention has excellent resistance and forming properties and a high-grade leather-like appearance and a soft feeling to the touch similar to those of natural leather and is useful for a trim material of a car and for furniture and other miscellaneous goods having leather-like appearance, touch, and other properties.

Abstract: A laminated cloth which comprises (A) a cloth and (B) a crosslinking polyvinyl chloride skin layer, and optionally (C) a polyvinyl chloride layer as a primary coat for the layer (B), said laminated cloth having improved deep drawing properties and excellent tolerant to vacuum forming and being useful as a covering for interior trims of automobiles and other vacuum forming products and also as a surface decorating material for various products.

Abstract: A skin covering for trims of automobiles having three layer structure comprising(a) a surface layer comrising a PVC having a mean degree of polymerization (P) of 2,000 or more (high polymerization PVC),(b) a foam layer comprising a blend of a crosslinking PVC and a PVC having a P of less than 1,500 (low polymerization PVC) and a foaming agent, and(c) a back layer comprising a low polymerization PVC,said skin covering having excellent processability with the cloth by high frequency welding and excellent vacuum forming properties and being useful for the facing of trims of automobiles.
