ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel comprising a synthetic resin base material and a skin material covering and integrated with the surface of the synthetic resin base material. The instrument panel may be disposed ahead of a seat within a driving cab in a vehicle. A metal support is integrally formed in the synthetic resin base material and insert-molded in such a state that a part of the metal support is protruded from the synthetic resin base material. The site protruded from the synthetic resin base material has a frame fixing section, which can be fitted and fixed to the cab frame of the vehicle. In such an the instrument panel, even upon exposure to vibration or impact, neither drop of various mounted instruments nor damage to the instrument panel takes place. Further, in mounting various instruments, the necessary number of components can be reduced, and stable mounting of instruments can be realized.
