摘要： A door trim panel for a door frame of a motor vehicle. The door trim panel includes a main body portion adapted to be removably secured to the door frame and a bolster removably secured to the main body portion. The bolster covers an access opening in the main body portion. The bolster includes a substrate having a bolster portion integrally formed with an armrest portion. A cover is integrally molded with the substrate and includes a first portion overlying the bolster portion and having a first thickness, and a second portion overlying the armrest portion and having a second thickness greater than the first thickness to provide a softer feel. The bolster may be made in a two shot molding process with the substrate being formed in the first shot of the molding process and the multi-feel cover being formed in the second shot of the molding process.

摘要： The present invention provides for an improved armrest with a soft feel for use in a trim assembly, and to a continuous two-shot molding operation that may be continuously performed utilizing a single mold assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, a trim assembly includes an integrated armrest formed by injecting a first material into a first shot mold cavity in a first shot of a molding operation. An armrest cover is molded to at least a portion of the armrest by injecting into a mold chamber a second foamed material in a second shot of the molding operation to provide the armrest with a soft feel. The second foamed material includes a foamed material that produces a soft, outer skin and a light, cellular inner core such that when a force is applied to the cover, the skin will deform and compress the inner core, providing a soft-touch feel to the armrest.

摘要： An automotive interior component including a substrate adapted to be mounted inside a passenger cabin of a vehicle and a covering on at least a portion of the substrate adapted to define an airbag cushion deployed as a passenger restraint in the event of a collision. The covering includes a core of a cellular material that loses cohesion when an inflation fluid is injected to define a space between a substrate and an elastic outer layer. As the space fills with inflation fluid, the outer layer elastically expands for defining the airbag cushion. The automotive interior component may be made in a multi-shot molding operation with the substrate being formed in one shot and the covering being formed in another shot.

摘要： A method of making automobile interior panels includes a step in which a first insert is positioned in the cavity formed by a first and second mold section. The first insert is trimmed by a first lifter to form a trimmed first insert. A first resin is subsequently introduced into a second mold cavity such that this first resin bonds to the trimmed first insert. Complex interior panels are formed by utilizing additional lifters and/or mold sections to define mold cavities and paths for introducing additional resins.

摘要： An injection molding system (10) includes a first mold half (20) and a second mold half (22), which forms a cavity (23) with the first mold half (20). A cavity intrusion element (34) is displaceable to extend within the cavity (23). A displacement mechanism (36) is coupled to the cavity intrusion element (34). A controller (38) is coupled to the displacement mechanism (36) and controls the intrusion depth (D) of the cavity intrusion element (34) during an injection molding process. A method of forming an article includes the pressurizing of the cavity (23) within a mold (14) via a gas. A material having a blowing agent is injected into the cavity (23). The gas pressure within the cavity (23) is released. The cavity intrusion element (34) is backed out from within the cavity (23). The material is cured.

摘要： A method of making a part includes introducing expandable material into a cavity of a mold containing a substrate, the mold including at least one projection extending into the cavity. The method further includes retracting the at least one projection to allow the expandable material to expand in the cavity, such that the expandable material forms an expanded material layer on the substrate.
