Abstract

A porous sheet material is inserted into a back side of a foam base material at a convex section and forces a mat-shaped fiber reinforcing material set in a mold toward a facing material during molding. Alternatively, an impregnated sheet material is inserted between the facing material and the fiber reinforcing material at the convex section so that a molding material for the foam base material is impregnated into the impregnated sheet material during molding. Further, a concave section is molded on the back side of the foam base material at the convex portion by a mold projecting section of the mold. That is, the fiber reinforcing material set in the mold is forced toward the facing material by the mold projecting section during molding.
