摘要:
A masking system is provided that includes a supply roll of masking material, supported by a first roll support. The supply roll is rotatable on the first roll support, which allows the masking material to be dispensed. A take-up roll is provided to receive masking material after it has been used. A masking arm is positioned on an inside surface of the masking material, and contacts a portion of a mold to capture the masking material between the masking arm and the mold, thereby sealing off a portion of the mold during a coating process. After the coating process, the take-up roll is rotated, thereby dispensing new masking material from the supply roll.
摘要:
A method and system for providing plastic injection molded parts with thin wall sections or portions. The mold has one or more plunger or piston members which operate to reduce the size of the mold cavity and thus the thickness of wall sections or portions of the molded parts, preferably at 70-75% or more of their surface area. Commercially acceptable parts with wall thicknesses on the order of 2.5 mm can be provided with the present invention.

Aspects of the present invention include interior vehicle trim panel having a sprayed expanded polyurethane layer and method of making same. In at least one embodiment, the method of making the vehicle interior trim panel comprises providing a skin layer on a spray tool, spraying expandable polyurethane reactive components onto the skin layer to form a resilient layer, and securing a rigid substrate on the resilient layer, such that the resilient layer extends between and connects the skin layer with the substrate to form the vehicle interior trim panel.
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.

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.

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:
A polyurethane resin includes polyol and isocyanate residues which together form a base resin. The polyurethane resin further includes a plurality of hollow beads dispersed therein such that the density of the polyurethane resin is less than the density of the base resin. A method for forming the polyurethane resin comprises mixing hollow beads the polyol and/or isocyanate prior to spraying onto a substrate.
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.
