Method for fixing a glass interior trim element into a motor vehicle The invention relates to method for fixing a glass trim element into a motor vehicle's interior characterized in that the method comprises a step of fixation of the glass element to a support to provide an assembly that is integrated to motor vehicle's interior body.

A sliding mechanism a first part and a second part adapted for sliding translation within the first part. A guide rib structure is included on the first part to constrain a lateral motion of the second part, including one or more ribs each defining at least one inclined plane. The guide rib structure may be a continuous rib member defining a sinusoidal or trapezoidal wave pattern, or may include a plurality of ribs each defining an inclined plane.

The present application provides a functional key assembly with symbol showing function and its manufacturing method. Specifically, in this application, the symbol of the functional key is provided on the inner surface of the function showing component or outer protective plate, to eliminate the provision of the parting line. Being manufactured by over-injection molding, the protective plate is provided with a carved structure at its inner portion and a back component at its lower portion such that the image of the symbol of the function key is cast onto the surface of the protective plate through the carved structure in backlit environment and is invisible without back lit, immerging effect is thus achieved, as a result of which, the armrest plate is therefore artistically decorated and less costly to manufacture at the same time.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body and a vehicle door connected to the vehicle body. The vehicle door includes an interior trim panel including an upper board and an ornament member that is connected to an interior surface of the upper board. The ornament member has a front edge, a rear edge and side edges that extend from the front edge to the rear edge. The ornament member includes an interference member that extends outwardly from at least one of the front edge, the rear edge and the side edges and extends under the upper board to interface with the upper board during a side impact event.

The invention relates to a trim element for interior vehicle. According to the invention, the trim element is made of glass sheet.

A decorative assembly (20) includes a translucent part (26) overlaying a portion of a chromed visible surface (24) of a base part (22) to define a first visible portion (28) of the chromed visible surface (24) not covered by the plastic layer and a second visible portion (30) of the chromed visible surface (24) covered by but visible through the translucent part (26) for allowing the chromed visible surface (24) to be freely exposed along the first visible portion (28) and for allowing light to pass through the translucent part (26) and reflect off the second visible portion (30) of said chromed visible surface (24). At least one of the second visible portion (30) of the chromed visible surface (24) or the translucent part (26) includes a three-dimensional texture (32) to redirect the light reflected off the second visible portion (30) of the chromed visible surface (24).

A sliding mechanism a first part and a second part adapted for sliding translation within the first part. A guide rib structure is included on the first part to constrain a lateral motion of the second part, including one or more ribs each defining at least one inclined plane. The guide rib structure may be a continuous rib member defining a sinusoidal or trapezoidal wave pattern, or may include a plurality of ribs each defining an inclined plane.

A method of applying stitching to an interior component is provided herein. The method including the steps of: a) penetrating the outer skin layer, the substrate layer and the intermediary layer with an awl to form a piercing therethrough; b) retracting the awl from the outer skin layer, the substrate layer and the intermediary layer; c) inserting a needle through the piercing through the substrate layer, the intermediary layer and the outer skin layer to grasp a thread positioned on the outer skin layer; d) pulling the thread through the outer skin layer, the intermediary layer and the substrate layer; e) advancing the interior component to another position, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and f) repeating steps a-e until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.

A method of applying stitching to an interior component is provided herein. The method including the steps of: a) penetrating the outer skin layer, the substrate layer and the intermediary layer with a chain stitch pattern machine to form a piercing therethrough; b) retracting the chain stitch pattern machine from the outer skin layer, the substrate layer and the intermediary layer; c) inserting a needle through the piercing through the substrate layer, the intermediary layer and the outer skin layer to grasp a thread positioned on the outer skin layer; d) pulling the thread through the outer skin layer, the intermediary layer and the substrate layer; e) advancing the interior component to another position, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and f) repeating steps a-e until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.

An interior component for a vehicle includes a first board, a second board, and a position adjustment mechanism. The second board is mounted to the first board to cover a surface of the first board on an interior side of the vehicle and to be movable along the surface of the first board. The position adjustment mechanism includes an operating component mounted to the second board. The operating component is configured to transmit a force applied to the operating component to the first board to move the second board relative to the first board along the surface of the first board.
