A device for producing a composite molded part from planar and support structures includes a matrix, a punch, and a matrix slider, arranged to be movable relative to one another and in a closed state to define a cavity corresponding to the shape of the part to be produced. By and/or on at least one component, an edge folding arrangement is formed having a region fixing and/or pinching off and/or fully severing the decorative structure border. Also, a method for producing a composite molded part includes: providing a device, inserting a planar structure, transferring the device into a closed position and creating a cavity, introducing an uncured support structure, severing a strip of the structure protruding beyond the folded edge border, curing and demolding the composite molded part. Before and/or while introducing the uncured support structure, the planar structure is fixed in the folded edge outer border region.

The invention relates to a technical field of car roller shutter door production, in particular to a method for manufacturing a car roller shutter door. A single film piece is firstly vacuum formed into a desired shape, and then rubber is injected into the film piece after vacuum forming, so that the rubber and the film piece are integrally formed to form a single roller shutter strip, and then a required number of single roller shutter strips are placed and laminated on a flexible substrate in an integrated and orderly manner to form a car roller shutter door. Each of roller shutter strips is independent of each other and does not interfere or affect each other, which improves flexibility of the car roller shutter door. Compared with long strips of whole film sheet on the car roller shutter door in the prior art, each of film pieces of the present invention is independent of each other and does not have defect of easy fracture of the whole film sheet, which makes service life long. In addition, production of the single film piece is less expensive and more efficient, and pattern design is flexible. When one of the roller shutter strips is damaged, only the damaged roller shutter strip needs to be replaced in a targeted manner, avoiding the waste of resources and reducing maintenance costs.

A method of forming a trim panel is provided. The method including the steps of: placing a non-woven mat of material in a heating press; heating the material to a predetermined temperature; applying a decorative film to a first surface of the heated material to create a bilaminate; placing the bilaminate layer into a cavity of a tool such that the decorative film is facing the cavity; heating the cavity; and injecting a thermoplastic resin into the tool such that the thermoplastic resin is adhered to a second surface of the material, the second surface being opposite to the first surface. Also disclosed is the trip panel formed by the foregoing method.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a decorative part for vehicle interior trim, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: I) a softened decorative film is adhered to an inner surface of a decorative part mold and molded into a decorative film having the shape of a decorative part, wherein the decorative film has a thickness of at least 0.2 mm; II) scrap edges of the decorative film having the shape of the decorative part are removed; III) the decorative film having the shape of the decorative part from which the scrap edges have been removed is placed again in the decorative part mold and adhered to the inner surface of the decorative part mold; and IV) a body material of the decorative part is injected into the decorative part mold by a physical foaming injection molding process and molded into the decorative part together with the decorative film. In the present invention, a decorative part for vehicle interior trim which has light weight and excellent appearance can be obtained by a combination of a physical foaming injection molding process and an insert-mold process.

A method for producing a fibrous composite material component, in particular for a vehicle. According to the method, at least one dry woven fabric layer is initially provided, wherein the woven fabric layer includes carbon fibers. A binder is then applied to the woven fabric layer. Further, the woven fabric layer is reshaped into a preform layer, wherein the binder is activated during the reshaping and the woven fabric is stabilized in the reshaped shape. The preform layer is then applied to further woven fabric layers in order to strengthen the shape. The connection of the preform layer and the further woven fabric layers thus results in a preform, which is inserted into a molding tool for carrying out an RTM process. Then, the RTM process is carried out in order to obtain a fibrous composite material component.

A one-shot molding apparatus and method press-mold a trim component body between upper and lower molds, and injection-mold a plastic rim onto an edge of the trim component body using an additional edge molding tool, in a single molding apparatus in a single molding cycle. The edge molding tool may have a cutting edge that cooperates with a counter edge on the upper or lower mold to remove excess material and form a precise cut edge of the trim component body before forming the molded rim. The edge molding tool is movable relative to the upper and lower molds in a direction parallel or perpendicular or oblique relative to a motion direction of the upper and lower molds. Additional movable nested tools can be provided on the upper and/or lower mold to achieve greater adaptability of the injection-molding cavity. The rim can be molded onto the cut edge, and molded around the edge onto the back and/or front side of the trim component body. The trim component may be a trim panel for the interior of a motor vehicle.

A headliner includes a unitary body having a substrate with an A-surface and a B-surface, a secondary component carried on the B-surface and a laminated surface covering on the A-surface. That method of producing that headliner with a unitary body is also provided.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing moulded parts. Moulded parts of this type are used predominantly in automotive construction, for example as interior trim parts. The method and device according to the invention are intended to facilitate the reduction of sizing inaccuracies during high productivity and the flexible design of the cut region of the moulded part that is to be formed.
