  • Publication number: 20240074078
    Abstract: In some implementations of the present disclosure, a frame and a surface panel having a panel body, which is a glass plate, are integrated together by a insert molding method. The frame is formed from an elastomer. An inner-surface tight-contact surface formed as part of an inner surface support portion of the frame has a tight-contact edge portion positioned on the same side as the center of the surface panel. The tight-contact edge portion is formed at a position at which the tight-contact edge portion overlaps both a decorative layer and an adhesion functional resin layer. As a result, it is possible to restrain stress from being exerted directly on the decorative layer from the tight-contact edge portion.
