Patent ID: 7695670

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an automobile interior part integrated with a cover, in which a cover member is integrated with a surface of a base member of the automobile interior part, the method comprising: integrally forming the cover member with the surface of the base member of the automobile interior part in a die, the die including a first die member and a second die member, wherein at least one of the first and second die members is movable relative to the other, wherein said integrally forming the cover member with the surface of the base member includes: setting the base member on the second die member such that a back of the base member is opposed to the second die member; determining a position of the surface of the base member in relation to the second die member in the die moving direction when setting the base member, by causing an engaging claw provided on a back of the base member to engage with a locking projection provided on the second mold member; placing the cover member between the base member set on the second die member and the first die member; and integrating the cover member with the surface of the base member by closing the first die member with respect to the second die member while pressing the cover member against the base member through vacuuming; and trimming an edge of the cover member along a peripheral portion of the base member in a state where the back of the base member is supported by a jig, wherein the jig includes a locking claw engageable with the engaging claw, wherein, during the trimming, the position of the base is determined in relation to the jig by causing the engaging claw to engage with the locking claw.
