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.
