ABSTRACT:
A vehicle upholstery member having an invisible type air bag door formed with a break-scheduled line that is designed for easy measurement of depth or the like and that cannot be recognized from the front surface side; a method of producing the same; and a device for producing the same. In a vehicle upholstery member having a skin-equipped air bag door and in a method of producing the same, a portion of the back surface of the skin corresponding to the portion where the vehicle air bag is installed is formed with a break-scheduled line that is not so deep as to reach the surface of the skin and adapted to assume a substantially V-shaped groove shape when the skin is bent with its back surface convexed, and the depth of the break-scheduled line or the thickness of the remaining portion is measured, with the incision of the break-scheduled line opened. Further, a device for producing a vehicle upholstery member having such air bag door comprises a support base for substantially flatly mounting the skin thereon, a cutting blade for forming the break-scheduled line in the skin, and measuring means for measuring the depth of the break-scheduled line or the thickness of the remaining portion.
