Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a composite article by use of a mold core and a cavity block and wherein a skin and insert are placed in the mold cavity and foam precursors are poured into the mold cavity to complete the article includes a process in which a series of part replicas are formed and used to cast thermally stable liners that are carried by the mold core and mold cavity. The thermally stable liners have low melt temperatures and can be reused and recast following wear during the molding process. The liners are made from material which has low shrinkage and expansion rates to define a mold assembly that will produce repeatable parts.

Abstract: A variety of embodiments are disclosed, in both apparatus and method form, that relate to the use of fabric material in the manufacture of an air bag deployment system. In addition, fabric weakening is disclosed according to a technique that does not result in physical alteration of the fabric. This invention therefore includes an air bag cover for an air bag safety system for a vehicle comprising a fabric outer layer having a frontside and a backside and a substrate containing an opening wherein the opening has a periphery. The substrate is preferably formed by low pressure molding, wherein the fabric outer layer overlies the opening in the substrate, and wherein the fabric outer layer is weakened at a location that is adjacent or overlies the substrate opening periphery.

Abstract: An airbag door construction for airbag deployment comprising a hard instrument panel having a weakened area outlining at least a portion of an integrally molded airbag door. A reaction plate is attached to the underside of the panel at the airbag door location. A deployment chute is molded with the reaction plate and attached to the hard instrument panel just outboard of the outline of the airbag door. A tether is included that engages with the reaction plate whereupon airbag deployment the tether allows the airbag door/reaction plate welded combination to break loose from the hard instrument panel in a controlled manner.
