A holster for a firearm is disclosed. The holster includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The first layer is made of a first material and defines an outer surface of the holster. The second layer is made of a second material and defines an inner surface of the holster. The third layer is made of a thermoplastic composite material with fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin. A heating of the holster between a predetermined temperature range softens the third layer to facilitate a molding of the holster.

In a skin material, a front face of a first fibrous base material is a first color and a front face of a second fibrous base material is a second color. The second fibrous base material is laminated on a back face of the first fibrous base material. A through hole of the first fibrous base material penetrates the first fibrous base material in a laminating direction. A dimension of the through hole in a first direction is set to a first value (N1). A dimension of the through hole in a second direction is set to a second value (N2). A dimension of the through hole in the laminating direction is set to a third value (N3). The first value (N1) and the second value (N2) are set to be 0.38 times or more and 12 times or less with respect to the third value (N3).

Described herein are physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structures that includes a foam layer comprising polypropylene, polyethylene, or a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene and a polyamide cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam composition layer and at least one cap composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

The invention relates to a multilayer composite comprising a layer of leather in contact with at least one monolayer comprising parallel aligned fibers and a matrix material. The composite may further comprise film layer(s) that may be breathable and/or waterproof. The multilayer composite material is suitable for use in clothing and outdoor gear and apparel.

An airbag cover assembly of an airbag module has a molded housing cover and a thin leather or imitation outer cover. The molded housing cover is configured for attachment to the airbag module. The housing cover has an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface has a plurality of tear seams arranged to break along a predetermined path. The thin leather or imitation leather outer cover is glued or otherwise affixed directly onto the outer surface of the housing cover. The leather or imitation leather outer cover has a generally uniform thickness devoid of tear seams. The thin leather or imitation outer cover has a thickness of less than 1.0 mm, preferably 0.6 mm. The outer cover is constructed from three separate pieces stitched together with threads longitudinally along a curved arc.

In a decorative sheet, a concavo-convex pattern is provided on a surface of a base material. The concavo-convex pattern includes a first concave, a convex and a second concave. The first concave is a bottomed concave. The convex is adjacent to the first concave. The second concave opens at the bottom surface of the first concave. The second concave is a bottomed concave. The second concave is provided in a first region of the bottom surface of the first concave which is a region spaced apart from a boundary between the first concave and the convex not less than a maximum dimension which is a dimension in an opening direction orthogonal to a thickness direction of an opening end of the second concave which is a side of the bottom surface of the first concave in the thickness direction of the base material.

Provided are a biodegradable eco-friendly material and a manufacturing method thereof. The biodegradable eco-friendly material includes a biodegradable base fabric into which paper mulberry yarn and cotton yarn are mixed and woven, a leather layer made of a biodegradable material attached to one side of the base fabric, and a coating layer attached to the other side of the base fabric. Here, the base fabric may be woven in a state where 74 to 76 parts by weight of the cotton yarn and 24 to 26 parts by weight of the paper mulberry yarn are mixed.

A method of applying a cover to a housing may include bonding a plurality of reinforcement elements to respective inside corners of a textile having an initial shape and disposing the plurality of reinforcement elements within respective recesses at corners of the housing to secure the textile to the housing. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

A vehicle interior component configured to provide a user interface for vehicle systems is disclosed. The component may comprise a composite structure comprising a cover to facilitate transmission of light (e.g. light-transmissive material), a sensor to detect input at or adjacent to the cover, a light panel/display to provide illumination through the cover, a functional layer and a positioning layer. The display may provide illumination through the cover. The user interface may be configured for input at the cover detected by the sensor and/or output from the display presented at least partially through the cover. The composite structure may comprise a substrate and/or may be configured in a contoured shape. The functional layer may comprise a diffuser. The positioning layer may comprise a foam material and/or a spacer fabric. A method of operating the user interface provided by the composite structure is also disclosed.
