To provide a decorative molded article that enables clear visual recognition of an arbitrary pattern on a surface of a skin material when a light source is turned on. The decorative molded article is a decorative molded article capable of being illuminated by a light source on a back surface and configured so that a skin material having an OD value of 1 or more and 3.5 or less, a light-shielding layer having an arbitrary pattern, and a transparent molded body are laminated together in sequence, and so that a color difference ΔE between a light emitting unit and a non-light emitting unit of the skin material is 50 or more when the light source is turned on. The decorative molded article may further include a nonwoven fabric between the skin material and the light-shielding layer, or between the light-shielding layer and the molded body.

A ventilated molded seat trim cover for a vehicle seat and a ventilated vehicle seat having a ventilated molded seat trim cover, comprising a stacked assembly of an upper textile layer, a first adhesive layer, an air permeable polyurethane cellular foam interlayer thermo-moldable at temperatures between about 104° C. and about 127° C., a second adhesive layer, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film, a third adhesive layer, and a scrim backing layer. The stacked assembly is compression molded in a 3-dimensional mold while at least a portion of the foam interlayer is heated to a temperature between about 104° C. and about 127° C. to form the ventilated molded seat trim cover. The TPU film prevents airflow passing through a bottom surface of the seat trim cover. Airflow in the foam interlayer can pass through the upper textile layer.

A polyimide laminated film includes a porous polyimide layer that has a porosity of from 30% to 90% and pores having a spherical shape and a non-porous polyimide layer that has a porosity of 5% or less.

A trim panel for a vehicle interior to provide a user interface for an occupant is disclosed. The trim panel may comprise a composite structure comprising a light-transmissive cover, a light panel/display, a functional layer and a positioning layer. The user interface may facilitate interaction with the vehicle occupant so that operation of the user interface for the vehicle occupant comprises output from illumination from the light panel through the functional layer and through the cover to an exterior surface of the cover. The positioning layer may comprise a deformable spacer. The positioning layer may comprise a foam layer under the cover. The trim panel may comprise a sensor to detect input from the occupant at or adjacent to the cover. The composite structure may comprise a cover segment comprising a fabric and/or leather and a cover segment comprising a plastic or film.

The present invention relates to a porous layer structure containing a base material and a polyurethane porous layer formed on the base material, wherein a moisture permeability A of the porous layer structure measured by JIS L1099 A-1 (calcium chloride method) is 2000 to 10000 g/(m.sup.2.Math.24h), a moisture permeability loss rate obtained by a predetermined formula from a moisture permeability B of the base material alone measured by JIS L1099 A-1 (calcium chloride method) and the moisture permeability A is 75% or less, and a peel strength at a bonding surface between the base material and the polyurethane porous layer is 0.7 kgf/inch or more.

A handrail assembly, a manufacturing method for the handrail assembly, a support frame structure having the handrail assembly, and a child carrier. The handrail assembly comprises a handrail body, wherein the handrail body is covered with a first protective layer of a flexible structure, the first protective layer is covered with a second protective layer, the second protective layer shields the first protective layer to prevent the first protective layer from being exposed to the outside. The support frame structure comprises a front support assembly, a rear support assembly, a push rod assembly, a connecting assembly and a handrail assembly, a connecting portion of the handrail assembly being detachably connected to the connecting assembly. The handrail assembly can prevent the first protective layer from being exposed to the outside, and prevent children from accidentally swallowing the filling of the first protective layer, thereby guaranteeing the life safety of children.

The present disclosure is directed to an interior trim part of a vehicle which includes a carrier with a first surface, a second surface, and at least one opening penetrating the carrier from the first surface to the second surface, a membrane layer applied to the first surface and covering the opening, a décor layer applied to the membrane layer, an electronic module arranged within the opening and detachably contacting the membrane layer, and a vibration generating element either integrated into the electronic module or interacting with the electronic module such that vibrations generated by the vibration generating element are transferred to the membrane layer and the décor layer. Moreover, the present disclosure is directed to a vehicle comprising such an interior trim part and a method for manufacturing such an interior trim part.

A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of joining objects of hydrophilic polymeric biomaterials. In the method, an ionic liquid is applied onto the surfaces of the objects; the surfaces are pressed together; and the ionic liquid is removed. The method produces a product that can consist to 100% of biomaterial, with no synthetic polymer or chemicals remaining in the product.
