The present invention comprises: a lens substrate; a primer layer disposed on the lens substrate; and at least one layer that is disposed on the primer layer and that is selected from the group consisting of a hard-coat layer and a reflection-preventing layer. The primer layer contains a polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin and inorganic oxide particles. The tensile strength of the polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin is over 40 N/mm.sup.2. The expansion rate of the polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin is at least 300%, and the inorganic oxide particle content is 10-40% by volume with respect to the total volume of the primer layer.

A cooler box manufacturing method includes the steps of bonding an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) sheet material to a polycarbonate (PC) layer to form a two-layered panel; heating and softening the two-layered panel and attaching the latter to a forming mold by vacuum suction to provide a rigid body shell and a rigid cover shell; sequentially attaching insulation pads and inner wall layers to inner surfaces of the rigid body and cover shells to provide a cooler box body and a cooler box cover that respectively internally have insulation pad or pads covered by an inner wall layer; and finally, pivotally connecting the cooler box cover to the cooler box body to complete a cooler box. The cooler box so manufactured has rigid shells to not only provide heat and cool insulation for food and beverage storage, but also prevent the stored food and beverage from colliding with one another.

An objective of the present invention is to provide an organic glass laminate that exhibits excellent weathering resistance and abrasion resistance, and that can be used as an exterior member. This organic glass laminate comprises at least the following, in order: an organic glass base, a cured layer formed from the cured product of a resin composition, which comprises a curable resin and a UV absorber agent; and an inorganic oxide film. The glass transition temperature of the cured product which constitutes the cured layer is adjusted to 80-160 C., and the thickness of the inorganic oxide film is set to at least 0.01 m and less than 0.5 m, whereby weathering resistance and abrasion resistance are significantly improved, and the organic glass laminate is made suitable for use as an exterior member.

A rear view assembly includes a housing, an electro-optic assembly disposed within the housing, and an ambient light sensor operably coupled with the electro-optic assembly. An at least partially light transmissive light sensor lens is integrally formed as part of the housing proximate the ambient light sensor. The light sensor lens is free of mechanical fasteners.

A low-stress line workpiece and a method for integrally forming the same is disclosed. Firstly, an in-mold injection molding mold is provided, wherein a function film, a 3D curved-surface plastic material, and an anti-rainbow stripe combination layer are placed in the in-mold injection molding mold. The in-mold injection molding mold is used to mold the function film, the plastic material and the combination layer into a low-stress line workpiece integrally formed by in-mold forming. The low-stress line workpiece includes the function film, the plastic layer and the combination layer, wherein the plastic layer is located between the function film and the combination layer. The present invention provides a low-stress line workpiece with high surface hardness and a method for forming the same to reduce lamination fabrication processes and improve lamination yield.

The present invention relates to a crash pad for a vehicle and a manufacturing method thereof. In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing the crash pad for the vehicle comprises a step of injecting a skin foam-forming composition between a lower mold having a color coating layer formed thereon and an upper mold having a core layer formed thereon, foaming the injected skin foam-forming composition to form a skin foam layer, wherein the color coating layer is formed by applying the color coating composition to the inside surface of the lower mold and curing the applied color coating composition.

A vehicle light assembly includes a housing. A light source is positioned within the housing. A lens is coupled with the housing. The lens defines a first surface and a second surface. An optical grating is integrally defined in at least one of the first and second surfaces.

A method for the manufacture of a component for a motor-vehicle interior with an associated film in which an electronic circuit is integrated with at least one proximity sensor includes the step of thermoforming the film on a mold element and the step of injection of plastic material in a mold cavity in such a way as to obtain a component for interior of motor-vehicle comprising a body of substantially transparent plastic material associated to the film. The component includes one or more proximity sensors for activating a functional component of the motor-vehicle.

A method of making an iridescent, vehicular trim assembly is provided that includes: molding a polymeric base comprising an exterior surface; and over-molding an element over at least a portion of the exterior surface. The element comprises a polymeric, translucent material and an exterior surface with an integral diffraction grating having a thickness from 250 to 1000 nm and a period from 50 nanometers to 5 microns. Further, the molding can be conducted such that the polymeric base is molded with a tint. The method can also include forming a plated region over the exterior surface of the base. In addition, the method can also include cleaning the plated region with a plasma-etching process before the over-molding.

A trim panel for an external pillar of a motor vehicle, including: a first trim element which is formed by a first translucent or transparent material or a material which permits the diffusion of light which has a given wavelength, a second trim element which is formed by a second non-translucent and non-transparent material which does not allow the diffusion of light which has a given wavelength, the second element having an external surface in contact with an internal surface of the first element, the second element further having at least one recess which does not have the second material; an insert which is formed by a third translucent or transparent material or by a material which permits the diffusion of light which has a given wavelength, the insert comprising a nesting portion which is arranged so as to completely fill the recess of the second element.
