Abstract: An automotive interior trim part (10) is made by molding a substrate retainer layer (16), forming a skin layer (12) and forming an intermediate layer (14). The intermediate layer (14) is formed from a plurality of clusters of entangled high melt and low melt kinked fibers of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The PET layer is blown into a partially closed mold that has the skin and retainer positioned in each mold die. The mold undergoes induced vibrations to promote tightening of the packed clusters. The mold is then fully closed to compress the PET fibers into full density. Heated air is then blown into the mold to soften the low melt fibers to adhere them to the retainer layer and skin. Cool air is then blown into the mold to resolidfy the clusters and form the intermediate layer into its molded shape.

Abstract translation: 通过模制衬底保持层（16），形成表皮层（12）并形成中间层（14）制成汽车内饰件（10）。 中间层（14）由聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）的多个缠结的高熔体和低熔点扭结纤维簇形成。 将PET层吹入部分封闭的模具中，其中皮肤和保持器位于每个模具中。 模具经受诱导振动，以促进包装簇的紧固。 然后将模具完全关闭，以将PET纤维压缩至全密度。 然后将加热的空气吹入模具中以软化低熔点纤维，使其粘附到保持层和皮肤上。 然后将冷却的空气吹入模具中以解冻簇并将中间层形成其模制形状。

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An interior trim assembly comprises a substrate member forming at least a part of the structural support of the trim assembly and having a front surface adapted to face the interior of the automobile and a back surface adapted to face opposite the front surface. The substrate member includes a connecting member integrally molded with the substrate member and having an aperture formed therethrough. A grommet is integrally molded in the aperture. Preferably, the substrate member has a hardness and the grommet has a hardness that is relatively lower than the hardness of the substrate member. A two-shot molding process may be used to make the trim assembly with the substrate member and connecting member being formed in the first shot and the grommet being formed in the second shot.

Abstract: An armrest bun. The armrest bun inserts within an armrest to provide cushioning. The armrest bun includes a support substrate and a poured foam layer. The bun inserting within a cavity of the armrest. The foam layer shaped to match the armrest cavity to limit dead-spots. The bun can be manufactured by position a support substrate in a pouring tool. Foam is poured into a cavity of the pouring tool. The poured foam solidifies to bond to the support substrate. The bun can then be inserted into the armrest.
