Patent number: 10160404Abstract: Provided is a multilayer composite interior component in which boundary protrusions (20b) aligned in a row on both sides of a parting line (L) are arranged in a staggered manner so as to bend toward the boundary protrusions (20b) in the row opposite thereto.

As a result, a feeling of unevenness resulting from decreases in reaction force in the vicinity of the parting line (L) is minimized, thus making it possible to obtain a more uniform texture.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Toyoda Iron Works Co., Ltd.Inventors: Osamu Miyashita, Kenji Onuma, Kenichi Yoshida
