A method for forming leather and hide is used for manufacturing composite panels for automotive components, such as doors, dashboards and the like. A product is made from the method for forming leather and hide.

Method for producing a seat for a vehicle, the bottom and the foam obtained by molding in a double mold by the following subsequent steps: gluing: in which a robot moves the molded product in front of a glue nozzle; activation: in which the robot transfers the molded product into a heating station, activating the glue; loading: in which a user arranges the cover in a loading station; superimposition: in which the cover is transferred into a superimposition station; simultaneously, a second robot grasps the molded product and moves it into the superimposition station; pressing: in which a plurality of grippers press the edge of the cover against the edge of the bottom, causing irreversible gluing between the bottom and cover, forming the seat; moving-away: in which the second robot grasps the seat from the superimposition station and places it on a conveyor belt to move it away.

A method of manufacturing a real material product having a composite layer and using a liquid-phase reactive curing method according to the present invention can precisely and beautifully manufacture a real material product through a double injection process, and can implement various patterns. The bottom of a real material layer is coated with a plastic resin layer, and the top of the real material layer is coated with a PUA or PUR layer.

The present disclosure discloses an anti-fatigue mat and methods for making the same. The method for making an anti-fatigue mat includes providing a leather comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, forming a color layer on the first surface, cutting the leather, putting the cut leather into a mold, injecting an elastomeric material into the mold, curing the elastomeric material to form an elastic layer on the second surface and a plurality of concave structures corresponding to the plurality of protruding structures on the first surface, and polishing the first surface to remove the color layer without caving towards the second surface. The anti-fatigue mat can have anti-fatigue performance and vivid stereoscopic impression, where being simple to fabricate with low costs and can be industrialized.

A lining element for use in a vehicle in order to cover an airbag includes a dimensionally stable backing layer with a first predetermined breaking region which is delimited from a surrounding region and/or from a second predetermined breaking region by at least one predetermined breaking line, where a plurality of regularly spaced predetermined breaking points are disposed along the predetermined breaking line.

A self-adhesive patch formed of leather, bonded leather or synthetic leather for application to furniture, garments and luggage is provided with a debossed peripheral region which is coplanar with the reverse side of the patch and denser than the remainder of the patch. When applied, the edge of the patch is therefore lower than the main body of the patch and less likely to be unpeeled from the item to which it is attached.

A template made of plywood or similar material is inserted into a cover for a protective helmet so that the cover is stretched and once the template is inserted the assembled combination of the cover and the template resembles the shape of a disk. The disk-shaped assembly is placed on top of the bottom plate of a heat press. A layer with a decal or sticker is placed on top of the disk-shaped assembly. A heat press cover sheet is then placed on top of the disk-shaped assembly so that it also becomes into contact with the top plate of the heat press when the heat press is closed. The heat press may be set to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit and it can be set in a closed position for about 30 seconds in order to transfer sufficient heat so that the decal or sticker is applied or affixed to the cover surface.
