Abstract: A pocketed panel assembly for a vehicle door is disclosed herein. The pocketed panel assembly includes a trim panel, a partial pocket structure, and a living hinge. The trim panel has a pivotal edge, and the partial pocket structure also has a pivotal edge. The living hinge integrally joins the pivotal edge of the trim panel to the pivotal edge of the partial pocket structure. In such a configuration, the partial pocket structure can be rotated about the living hinge and substantially abutted against the trim panel so as to form an open pocket on the trim panel.

Abstract: A trim assembly comprises a substrate member forming at least a portion of the structural support of the trim assembly. A flexible skin overlies at least a portion of the substrate member and is coupled to the substrate. The substrate and flexible skin are configured to define a cavity having an opening. A back plate is mountable to the substrate and adapted to cover the cavity opening. A resilient foam pad contained within a pouch is positioned within the cavity to provide a soft feel to the trim assembly. The foam pad is inserted into the cavity using a tool that pulls a vacuum and compresses the foam pad. The foam pad is insertable into the cavity while in a compressed state and is adapted to expand so as to substantially fill the cavity.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An interior trim assembly comprises a substrate member forming at least a part of the structural support of the trim assembly and having a front surface adapted to face the interior of the automobile and a back surface adapted to face opposite the front surface. The substrate member includes a connecting member integrally molded with the substrate member and having an aperture formed therethrough. A grommet is integrally molded in the aperture. Preferably, the substrate member has a hardness and the grommet has a hardness that is relatively lower than the hardness of the substrate member. A two-shot molding process may be used to make the trim assembly with the substrate member and connecting member being formed in the first shot and the grommet being formed in the second shot.
