摘要： An automotive trim assembly adapted to have an airbag deploy through the trim assembly includes a substrate with a deployment door integrally molded with the substrate and having a front surface adapted to face the interior of the automobile and a back surface opposite the front surface. The airbag is adapted to be stored behind the deployment door, which is adapted to open when the airbag is deployed. A cover is molded onto at least a portion of the substrate and deployment door and includes an inner and outer layer of a polymer material having a substantially non-cellular structure and an inner core having a cellular structure positioned between the inner and outer layers. The cover is adapted to keep the door attached to the trim assembly when the airbag is deployed.

摘要： An automotive assembly having an integrated spring mechanism. The assembly includes a first member and a second member pivotally coupled to the first member and moveable between a first and second position with respect to the first member. The assembly further includes a resilient element integrally molded with one of the first and second members. The resilient element includes an extension portion having a free end that is coupled to the other one of the first and second members. The extension portion imposes a force on the second member to bias the second member in at least one direction. A method of making the assembly includes a two shot molding process where the one of the first and second members is formed in a first shot of the molding operation and the resilient element is integrally molded thereto in the second shot of the molding operation.

摘要： A method of making an automotive trim assembly includes injection molding a first curable polymer to form a substrate including a deployment door in a first shot of a molding operation. A cover is then formed on at least a portion of both the substrate and deployment door by injection molding a second curable polymer in a second shot of the molding operation. The cover includes an inner and outer layer of the second polymer having a substantially non-cellular structure and a core of the second polymer having a cellular structure between the inner and outer layers. At least one score line is formed in the substrate to define the deployment door therein. The score line may be formed during the molding operation or in a post-molding process, such as a laser scoring process.

摘要： An automotive trim assembly including a substrate made from a first material and having a front surface adapted to face the interior of the automobile and a back surface opposite the front surface. A cover member made from a second foamed material is molded onto at least a portion of the front surface of the substrate so as to provide a soft feel to the trim assembly. An impact countermeasure, also made from the second foamed material, is molded onto at least a portion of the back surface to absorb an impact force from a vehicle occupant. The trim assembly may be made in a two shot molding operation with the substrate being formed in the first shot of the molding process and the cover member and countermeasure being formed in the second shot of the molding process.

摘要： The present invention provides for an improved trim part with a multi-feel cover for use in a trim assembly, e.g. a door panel, and to a continuous two-shot molding operation that may be performed utilizing a single mold assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, a trim assembly includes a substrate having an integrated armrest and/or integrated bolster formed by injecting a first material into a first shot mold cavity in a first shot of a molding operation. A cover then is molded to at least a portion of the integrated trim part by injecting into a mold chamber a second foamed material in a second shot of the molding operation. The molded cover defines a first and second thickness with the second thickness being greater than the first thickness to provide a softer feel. The second foamed material produces an outer skin and a light, cellular inner core, within at least the second thickness of the cover, such that the skin deforms and compresses the inner core when a force is applied thereby providing a softer feel.

摘要： An automotive interior trim assembly has at least one area which provides an enhanced tactile feel that is soft to the touch. The interior trim assembly includes a first substrate member forming at least part of a structural support of a trim assembly and a cover member formed of thermoplastic elastic foam supported on the first substrate member. A second substrate member is connected to the first substrate member. In one embodiment, a portion of the interior trim assembly is formed in a two-shot molding operation wherein a first material is molding during a first shot to form the first substrate member. The cover member is molded onto the first substrate member during a second shot of the molding operation. In one embodiment, the first and second substrate members are connected together through cooperating locking structures formed on each of the first and second substrate members.
