Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a trim element, which includes the following steps: supplying a mold in an open configuration which has a first mold part and a second mold part; positioning a first pre-formed decoration against the first mold part; positioning a wedge in contact with an edge of the first decoration; positioning a second flexible décor; closing the mold in a closed configuration, where the second decoration sits between the two mold parts; and back-injecting a substrate into the molding cavity, where the second decoration is pushed by the substrate against the first decoration. Also provided is an associated manufacturing device.
Abstract:
A trim element includes at least one support layer having an inner face and an outer face and at least one functional layer of carbon material extending over at least part of the inner face and/or over at least part of the outer face of the support layer. A part of the functional layer defines a pattern having at least one conductive area of carbon material and at least one non-conductive area formed by a through-opening in the functional layer, the conductive area being powered by a current source electrically connected to the conductive area, the pattern forming at least a part of an electrical circuit arranged to perform a function.
Abstract:
The method makes it possible to fabricate a trim comprising a support (4) and a surface covering (6) that covers the support (4), the covering having a front face (6A) intended to be visible and a rear face (6B) turned toward the support (4).The method comprises producing a line of weakness (14) in the covering (6), bending the covering (6) along the line of weakness (14), and molding the support (4) against the rear face (6B) of the covering (6).
Abstract:
A trim element includes at least one support layer having an inner face and an outer face and at least one functional layer made from a carbon material extending over at least part of the inner face or over at least part of the outer face of the support layer. At least part of the functional layer defines at least one heating element formed by a pattern that includes at least one conductive area made from carbon material and at least one nonconductive area formed by a through opening in the functional layer, the conductive area being supplied by a current source electrically connected to the conductive area.
Abstract:
A vehicle trim element that includes at least one supporting layer having an internal face and an external face, and a skin having an internal face and an external face. The internal face of the skin covers the external face of the supporting layer in at least one detection area. The supporting layer has a through-orifice extending from the internal face to the external face of the supporting layer. At least one detection element is located in the through-orifice. The detection element is in constant contact with the portion of the internal face of the skin covering the through-orifice of the supporting layer.
Abstract:
A molded vehicle part having at least one clip holder comprising a core designed to receive a clip. The core has a single first stiffening element, protruding from its first large face, and a single second stiffening means, protruding from the second large face.
