Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a uniform cushion cover good in appearance, in case of producing a slush molding of a synthetic resin skin, by a method wherein, before the hardening of a skin in a mold, a notch is formed in the skin, then a foamed resin layer is monolithically formed on the undersurface of the skin with the section thereof corresponding to the notch thinned or notched. CONSTITUTION:A notch forming member 16 of a jig 15 is set in a concave section 12 of the mold 11, a resin 20 in a sol form is poured in the concave section 12, and a skin layer is hardened along the mold. Then the resin 20 except the skin layer 20a is exhausted. Then the gelled resin remains on the surface of the concave section 12 and around the notch forming member 16. The notch forming member 16 is lifted from the concave section 12 to remove the skin layer 20a from the mold, and the burrs are separated off, so that an air cushion cover skin 22 having a notch 21 with a certain depth is obtained. Said skin 22 is set in a lower mold 24, an upper mold 27 having a projection 26 is engaged therewith, and a foamable resin is injected, and is foamed to obtain the cushion cover 29.

For the purpose of protecting occupants in the event of an automobile collision, an air cushion device is provided in an instrument panel, etc., and an air cushion cover is also provided to prevent this device from being directly visible to the occupant. The air cushion cover 3 surrounding the air silane device 2 is made of, for example, a vacuum-formed vinyl chloride sheet 4 and a foamed urethane resin 5, as shown in FIG. Moreover, the air cushion device 2 consists of a combination of a gas generator 116 and a folded cushion 7. Further, the front part of the urethane resin 5 is thin or has a notch 5' as shown in the figure, and the skin sheet 4 corresponding to this part has a knife-cut notch 4' as shown in FIG. It is provided. This knot fa I is for ensuring that the air cushion cover 3 is divided and opened at a set position, and is provided in the necessary area where the air cushion 2 is provided.

However, in this conventional method for manufacturing air cushion covers for automobiles, the skin of the air cushion cover is reduced to about 0.
A vinyl chloride sheet mixed with 8 ms ABO resin was molded using a vacuum forming method to form the notch of target 041 above. Since the notch 4' was provided on the seat 4 by one hand processing after foaming the urethane resin, the depth of the notch 4' was not constant, and even if the air cushion cover 3 received the expansion force of the cushion 7, it would not open. Otherwise, cracks may occur in areas other than the notch 4' and the sheet may scatter.Also, unevenness or whitening may occur on the surface of the sheet 4 near the notch 4'. There were cases where the appearance deteriorated.

By integrally providing a foamed resin layer in which the portion corresponding to the notch has a thin wall or a notch, manual post-processing for forming the notch is no longer necessary, and productivity is dramatically improved. Furthermore, since the depth of the notch can be made constant for all molded products, when the cushion is inflated, the air cushion cover including the outer skin of the cushion is reliably opened, thereby safely protecting the human body in the event of an automobile collision. moreover,
There is no fear of cracks appearing in areas other than the nops as in the conventional method, and there are advantages such as a smooth surface between the epidermis surfaces and a visual sensation of concentration.
