Patent ID: 7559592

Claim:
A vehicle interior member attached to an attaching portion disposed in a vehicle cabin comprising: an interior member main body and an affixing member for attaching the interior member main body to the attaching portion by insertion thereof into an opening portion formed on the attaching portion, wherein the affixing member has: two inserted portions arranged so as to be mutually separated, leading end sides of which are inserted into the opening portion; a tab portion disposed on at least one of the inserted portions, so as to engage an edge portion of the opening portion when the interior member main body is attached to the attaching portion, thereby preventing the affixing member from falling out of the opening portion; and a connecting portion connecting the two inserted portions in such a way that a width at a base end side of the affixing member is approximately the same as or greater than a width at the opening portion; wherein the vehicle interior member is constituted in such a way that when the interior member main body is attached to the attaching portion, the two inserted portions are placed at a spacing such that the tab portion engages the opening portion, and when the two inserted portions are pulled out from the opening portion, a gap at the leading end sides of the two inserted portions is elastically deformed to become narrow, and the engagement between the tab portion and the opening portion is released; the vehicle interior member further comprising a falling out prevention portion which prevents the dropping-out of the affixing member, whereby the falling out prevention portion has two spacer members arranged between the two inserted portions and extending on both sides of the connecting portion, and a spacer connecting portion for connecting the two spacer members at a leading end side relative to the connecting portion, such that when the interior member main body is attached to the attaching portion, the two inserted portions are placed at a spacing whereby the tab portion engages the opening portion, and by moving the two spacer members to a base end side, the affixing member elastically deforms the affixing member such that a gap on the leading end side of the two inserted portions narrows, thus enabling a release of the engagement between the tab portion and the opening portion; and wherein the two spacer members extend from the base end side of the inserted portion up to a vicinity of the tab portion.
