The skin further includes, in each of the extended portions of the breakable region, an unadhered region where the skin is not adhered to the substrate. Each of the unadhered regions has a band shape whose width is smaller than a length of the vertical-bar portion of the tear seam.

A thermoformed article is disclosed that includes a self-supporting structural base layer, a covering applied to a first side of the base layer, and one or more secondary features co-injected upon a second side of the base layer. The covering and the secondary features of the thermoformed article are applied to the base layer during the same molding operation. Also disclosed is a process for forming a thermoformed article that includes placing a covering in a mold tool as a first layer, placing a self-supporting structural base layer in the mold tooling as a second layer, closing the mold tooling with the covering and base layer, and co-injecting upon a side of the base layer opposite to the covering one or more secondary features.

The adherent is bonded to the second hot-melt adhesive agent in the adhesive member on a side of the another main surface of the base body.

The present invention provides a decorative film for film insert molding, the decorative film having: a fluorine-based resin layer containing 100 to 80 parts by mass of a fluorine-based resin and 0 to 20 parts by mass of a methacrylic acid ester-based resin; an acrylic-based resin layer containing 50 to 0 parts by mass of a fluorine-based resin and 50 to 100 parts by mass of a methacrylic acid ester-based resin; and a decorative layer containing a thermoplastic resin, laminated therein in this order, wherein the fluorine-based resin layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 200 μm, and surface unevenness is formed on a surface of the fluorine-based resin layer, the surface being on the side that is not in contact with the acrylic-based resin layer. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the decorative film for film insert molding.

A fiber-reinforced polymer composition that comprises a polymer matrix that contains a propylene polymer is provided. The polymer matrix constitutes from about 30 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of the composition, and a plurality of long reinforcing fibers that are distributed within the polymer matrix. The fibers constitute from about 20 wt. % to about 70 wt. % of the composition. The polymer composition exhibits a spiral flow length of about 450 millimeters or more as determined in accordance with ASTM D3121-09, and after aging at a temperature of 150° C. for 1,000 hours, a Charpy unnotched impact strength greater than about 15 kJ/m.sup.2 as determined at a temperature of 23° C. in accordance with ISO Test No. 179-1:2010.

A joining material for laser welding, a laser welding method using the same, and a laser joined body using the laser welding method. The joining material includes a polymer matrix and a needle-shaped inorganic filler. The polymer matrix includes a polypropylene resin having a melt index of 80 g/10 min or more to 95 g/10 min or less as measured at a temperature of 230° C. and a load of 2.16 kg, and the needle-shaped organic filler has an aspect ratio of 10:1 to 20:1.

A vibration welding device having a mechanically coupled multiple vibrator. Within this vibration welding device, the plurality of vibration units are arranged relative to an elongated tool such that the first direction of vibrations of the individual vibration units is oriented approximately transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tool such that, during a vibration welding process, two components are weldable to each other by vibrations different than a longitudinal direction of the components.

An airbag cover includes a substrate and a skin adhered to the substrate. The substrate includes an H-shaped tear seam and doors that are disposed on both sides of a crossbar portion of the tear seam and openable for forming an emergence opening when the tear seam tears. The skin includes a breakable region that is formed into a straight line and breakable to form the emergence opening. The breakable region includes a central portion disposed immediately above the crossbar portion, and two extended portions which extend from opposite ends of the central portion to outside of the vertical portions. The skin further includes, in each of the extended portions of the breakable region, an unadhered region where the skin is not adhered to the substrate. Each of the unadhered regions has a band shape whose width is smaller than a length of the vertical-bar portion of the tear seam.

The lid portion has a first body, a first rib protruding from the first surface of the first body and extending along the first surface, and the storage section has a second body, a second rib protruding from the second surface of the second body and extending along the second surface. The first and second ribs have main welded portions welded at intersections crossing each other, and the lid portion and/or the storage portion has main welded portions extending from one of the first and second ribs to the other between the main welded portions adjacent to each other.
