Abstract: An interior trim panel for a vehicle includes a leather layer defining a feature having a radius of less than five millimeters, and a backing layer adhered to the leather layer and providing a support structure for the leather layer. A method of forming the interior trim panel includes clamping the leather layer in a frame to securely fix the edges of the leather layer, positioning the leather layer between compression mold dies defining a complementary surface having a feature with a radius of less than five millimeters, and compressing the leather layer between the dies.

Abstract: A wireless charging phone retention assembly includes a housing having a phone contact charging surface positioned in a cavity of the housing, the cavity having an upwardly directed opening. A wheel-support frame is rotatably connected to the housing and rotates into and at least partially out of the cavity. A wheel is rotatably connected to the wheel-support housing. A resilient material defines a wheel outer surface of the wheel. When a wireless phone is received in the cavity in a downward direction the wireless phone contacts the resilient material and thereby rotates and displaces the wheel, with the wireless phone being retained against the charging surface by contact with the wheel.

Abstract: One general aspect includes a beverage container holding assembly including: a receptacle component including a first sidewall to define an open top and a closed bottom of substantially the same size and to define a shape configured to receive a sleeve component, the sleeve component including a second sidewall to define an open top and an open bottom of substantially the same size and to define a shape configured to receive a beverage container, and the first and second sidewalls including corresponding screw threads configured to cause the sleeve component to move telescopically from a first position to a second position when rotating within the receptacle component.
