摘要： The present invention provides for an improved trim part, e.g. a bolster or trim plate, with integrated appliqué for use in a trim assembly, and to a continuous two-shot molding operation that may be performed utilizing a single mold assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the trim part, i.e. a bolster, includes a substrate formed by injecting a first material into a first shot mold cavity in a first shot of a molding operation. An appliqué is provided in a second shot mold cavity then a cover is formed between the substrate and appliqué by injecting into a mold chamber a second foamed material in a second shot of the molding operation. The formed cover is integrally molded to at least a portion of the substrate and the appliqué to form a trim part with integrated appliqué.

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： A method of manufacturing an airbag assembly and a trim component for vehicle including the step of providing a first mold structure having a first surface formed therein, a second mold structure having a second surface formed therein and a third mold structure having a third surface formed therein. The first mold structure and the second mold structure are positioned to define a first cavity. A first material is introduced into the first cavity to form a substrate. The substrate and the third mold structure are positioned to define a second cavity. A second material is introduced into the second cavity to form at least one of a portion of an airbag assembly and an outer layer overmolded onto the substrate. Additionally, a scrim material may be disposed within the second cavity to produce a hinge having an embedded layer of scrim material.

摘要： An air bag deployment door mechanism for the instrument panel of an automotive vehicle. A deployment door is molded integral with the instrument panel retainer and defined by a plurality of closely spaced holes about its perimeter. The spacing between the holes define the physical connection between the deployment door and the instrument panel retainer. A tear initiator is molded into the deployment door which is activated by the inflating air bag. The tear initiator pierces the foam and decorative layers prior the severing of the physical connection between the deployment door and the instrument panel retainer.

摘要： Foamed wire harnesses are provided with a jacket to protect the wires. The jackets are formed with convoluted structure to center the wires during foaming. The indented portions are spaced by full-sized portions. Also, the indented portions are noncontinuous in a circumferential direction. The non-indented portions provide protection to the encased wires by preventing movement of sheet metal or other components into the convoluted areas.

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.
