Description

  The present invention relates to a protective cover for protecting an automotive interior part during transportation and storage of the automotive interior part, and particularly suitable for reducing the cost of the protective cover itself, and to the left and right automotive interior parts ( For example, it can be shared by the right and left door trims) and is suitable for preventing mis-attachment and facilitating management.

  A door trim known as an automobile interior part is manufactured at its manufacturing factory, and then transported to an automobile assembly factory and attached to a door panel of the automobile. To prevent damage during transportation and storage of the door trim, such as when the door trim is transported or stored, the design surface of the door trim or various trim components constituting the door trim may come into contact with other parts. Conventionally, in a door trim manufacturing factory, a protective cover is attached to a door trim before shipping the door trim manufactured as a product (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  5A is a plan view of a conventional protective cover, FIG. 5B is a side view of the conventional protective cover, and FIG. 5C is a perspective view of a door trim to which the protective cover is attached.

  Referring to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the conventional protective cover PC2 is formed of a vinyl chloride sheet material or the like, and has a cover 10 having a size capable of covering the entire design surface DS of the door trim T; The protective tape 11 affixed to the back surface of the cover 10, the left-right mounting piece 4 that protrudes from the left and right ends of the cover 10, and the upper and lower positions that protrude from the upper and lower ends of the cover 10 The direction mounting piece 5 is provided.

  The protective tape 11 in the conventional protective cover PC2 as described above is affixed corresponding to the position of the decorative portion such as the speaker grill W4 or the door trim garnish W5 provided on the design surface DS side of the door trim T. Depending on the position and the number of the decorative portions, the sticking position and the number of the protective tape 11 are different.

  When the conventional protective cover PC2 as described above is attached to the door trim T, the protective tape 11 is disposed between the cover 10 and the door trim T in order to prevent the protective tape 11 from being caught or peeled when the door trim T is transported or stored. It is set so as not to be exposed outside by being sandwiched between them. Specifically, the surface of the cover 10 on which the protective tape 11 is affixed is opposed to the design surface DS of the door trim T, and in this state, the left-right direction mounting piece 4 and the vertical direction mounting piece 5 are placed on the back side of the door trim T. (Surface side opposite to the design surface DS).

  The left and right direction mounting pieces 4 and the up and down direction mounting pieces 5 are made to protrude from the rear surface of the door trim L (not shown) such as clips and bosses for mounting the door trim TL to the vehicle body panel. By hooking the locking hole 7, the attachment of the conventional protective cover PC2 to the door trim T is completed.

  However, in the conventional protective cover PC2 as described above, since the protective tape 11 is used as a constituent member thereof, and it takes time to apply the protective tape 11 to the cover 10, the cost of the protective cover PC2 is reduced. It must be high.

  Further, the conventional protective cover PC2 cannot be shared by the right door trim and the left door trim. For example, when the conventional protective cover PC2 attached to the right door trim is attached to the left door trim, the protective tape 11 is not sandwiched between the cover 10 and the left door trim and exposed to the outside, and the door trim is transported. This is because problems such as catching and peeling of the protective tape 11 during storage are likely to occur.

  From the above, in the conventional protective cover PC2, it is necessary to prepare a dedicated door trim for the right side door and a dedicated one for the left side door trim. There is also a problem that the protective cover PC2 is likely to be erroneously attached, such as attaching a dedicated one to the left door trim.
