摘要:
An apparatus for spraying polyurethane to form a skin on a mold. Polyurethane forming constituents are provided from a plurality of separate supply sources to separate recirculating fluid circuits. A mix head receives polyurethane constituents from the fluid circuits and mixes them to form a polyurethane mixture. A hydraulically operated valve controls the flow of the polyurethane constituents. The valve has a first position in which the polyurethane components are permitted to flow into the chamber of the mix head. The polyurethane mixture is then dispensed through a spray nozzle assembly. When the valve is in a second position, the polyurethane constituents are recirculated through the fluid circuits. A liquid solvent may be injected into the mix head under pressure to purge the mixture from the mix head and spray nozzle assembly in the second position.

The present invention relates a vehicle interior trim panel. In at least one embodiment, the panel may be made by providing a spray mold having a mold surface, spraying colored polyurethane material proximate the surface of the tool to form a colored polyurethane skin layer, and spraying expandable polyurethane material onto the skin layer to form a resilient layer on the colored polyurethane skin layer. The colored polyurethane skin layer and the resilient layer form a colored composite skin which can be removed from the tool and secured to a substrate to form a vehicle interior trim panel.

摘要:
A method of making an article is disclosed in which an in-mold coating is applied to a mold over with a polyurethane forming mixture is applied. A fluorescent dye is mixed with a polyurethane forming mixture to form an ultraviolet enhanced mixture. After forming, the coated article is exposed to a source of ultraviolet light and inspected to identify areas not covered by the in-mold coating. An article of manufacture is disclosed that includes a polyurethane layer having fluorescent dye and an in-mold coating applied to the polyurethane layer. An interior trim part for a vehicle made according to the process is also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention provides a vehicle interior trim panel. The panel may be made by providing a spray mold having a mold surface having a cavity having a portion having a height to depth (H/D) ratio of less than 1.0. Polyurethane material can be sprayed proximate the surface of the tool to form a polyurethane skin layer. Expandable polyurethane material can be sprayed onto the skin layer to form a resilient layer. The skin layer and the resilient layer can be removed from the tool and positioning in a mold in a spaced apart relationship from a substrate, with a foam material being introduced between the substrate and the resilient layer to form a foam layer therebetween.

摘要:
A method of making an integrated inner trim panel for a vehicle door and an inner trim panel made thereby are disclosed. The method includes sequentially spraying a skin layer, a padding layer, and applying a structural layer in an open mold that defines the facing surface of the inner panel of a door. The integrated inner trim panel may be provided with areas of greater and lesser padding. The skin layer may be formed from a reactant mixture of polyurethane. The padding layer may be a foam polyurethane composition. The structural layer may be a glass-reinforced polyurethane reactant mixture. The inner door panel is an integrated layered structure including a skin layer, a padding layer, and a structural layer. The padding layer may be varied in thickness to provide selectively variable padding in predetermined areas.
