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) looping the thread with a previous stitch passed through the outer skin layer, the intermediary layer and the substrate layer; f) advancing the interior component to another position, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and g) repeating steps a-f until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.

A trim part for a vehicle interior, comprising a carrier element with a recess, an operating element arranged at least partially in the recess operable from a front side of the trim part, and a partially light-transmissive cover layer arranged on the front side of the trim part covering the recess. The cover layer is supported on and/or flatly connected to the carrier element in a contact region. An air gap is formed between the operating element and the cover layer and/or the carrier element. A first part of a visible surrounding light passing through the cover layer from the front side of the trim part is reflected in the contact region and a second part of the surrounding light is reflected in a region of the air gap. The reflected first part and second part of the surrounding light have substantially the same brightness and/or color after passing through the cover layer.

A door trim includes a first board member having a plate shape and a hole that is through the first board member, and a second board member having a plate shape and including a functional part integrally therewith. The second board member overlaps the first board member, and the functional part is in the hole and exposed to a vehicular interior side.

The present invention relates to an internal trim part for a vehicle, comprising at least two layers. A decorative skin (1) forms an upper layer and has a depression (3), in which a decorative element (8) is arranged. The decorative element (8) is connected to the decorative skin (1) by means of a bonded connection, such as a weld seam, in particular an ultrasonic weld seam (16). The invention further relates to a method for producing an internal trim part and to a device for performing said method.

A cover glass sheet configured to cover at least a display device, having an outer sheet face and an inner sheet face where the inner sheet face faces the display device and wherein the outer sheet face includes (a) at least a display zone (1) allowing visualization of at least part of a screen of the display device, the display zone having a perimeter, P.sub.display; and (b) at least an opaque zone (2) corresponding to a layer of opaque paint being added at the exception of the display zone, to all or part of the remaining inner sheet face and directly surrounding at least 10-100% of the display perimeter, the opaque zone has a mean surface roughness defined by an opaque arithmetic amplitude value, Ra.sub.(op). The outer sheet face further includes at least one textured zone covering between 0.5% to 99.5% of the opaque zone.
