VEHICLE TRIM COMPONENT
摘要:
A vehicle trim component is disclosed. A method for forming the trim component is also disclosed. The trim component is configured to support an airbag chute providing an airbag. The airbag is configured to be deployed through an opening. The trim component may comprise (a) a substrate a structure, (b) a cover comprising a skin made of a thermoplastic material (e.g. TPO having a substantially constant thickness of less than 0.7 mm) and a support layer coupled to the skin, and (c) a thermoplastic (e.g. foam) layer between the cover and the substrate. The thermoplastic foam) layer may be configured to attach the cover to the substrate. The airbag chute may be secured between the thermoplastic (e.g. foam) layer and the substrate. The support layer may be made of a foam material (e.g. polypropylene and/or polyethylene foam). The process for forming the trim component may comprise the steps of (a) providing a skin; (b) applying a support layer to the skin to create a cover; (c) providing the cover in a mold; (d) providing an airbag chute in the mold; (e) providing a substrate in the mold; and (I) injecting a thermoplastic (e.g. foam) material between the cover and the substrate.
