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.
