A method comprising providing a polymeric substrate having a melting point of from about 130° C. to about 190° C., and locating a material layer onto the substrate, wherein the material layer comprises one or more polymeric materials that liquefy upon exposure to temperatures of at least about 100° C., to blend with a softened portion of the polymeric substrate. Upon exposure of one or more of the substrate and the material layer to a stimulus, the temperature is increased in a predetermined temperature zone of one or more of the substrate and material layer to cause blending of the one or more polymeric materials of the material layer with the softened portion of the polymeric substrate.

Provided is a method of producing a skin-covered product in which a skin is bonded to a base material, the method capable of performing a roll treatment by a robot to improve work efficiency and quality, and reducing the number of production steps for producing the skin-covered product by immediately performing a rolling step after trimming the bonded skin by vacuum molding.

The method of producing a skin-covered product in which the skin is bonded to the base material according to the present invention includes (1) an integration step of integrating the base material and the skin by vacuum molding while drawing the skin to the base material such that the skin is rolled on a back surface side, (2) a skin trimming step of cutting an extra portion around the skin rolled on a back side in accordance with a form of the base material, and (3) a rolled portion welding step of moving the skin, rolled by a horn tip of an ultrasonic welding machine manually or by a robot, to a skin end portion while sliding the skin on the back surface side of the base material, and then ultrasonically welding the base material and the skin by ultrasonic welding.

The disclosure provides an interior trim part for a motor vehicle having a sliding or panoramic roof comprising a headliner and a stiffening frame attached to the headliner and enclosing and stabilizing an opening in the headliner enclosing the sliding or panoramic window, the stiffening frame being made of a fiber-reinforced composite material comprising a fiber mat and a textile lattice material, the textile lattice material being applied over a surface of the fiber mat and impregnated together therewith.

A real wood sheet capable of being used for automatic wrapping, the real wood sheet including a wood layer; a mesh layer disposed on a surface of the wood layer; and a flexible layer disposed on a surface of the mesh layer such that the mesh layer is disposed between the wood layer and the flexible layer.

A membrane device for manufacturing a crash pad for a vehicle including a real wood sheet includes a vacuum device main body having a plurality of vacuum holes such that a real wood sheet to be temporarily attached to a core is mounted in the vacuum device main body, a cover having a silicone film to define a vacuum space together with the vacuum device main body, a vacuum module to suck air in the vacuum device main body through the vacuum holes, and a control unit to compress the real wood sheet and the core, which are temporarily attached and mounted on the vacuum device main body, for a preset time by sucking air in the vacuum space through the vacuum holes in a state in which the vacuum device main body is covered by the cover.

Disclosed is a real wood crash pad that includes a real wood sheet including a wood layer, a mesh layer laminated under the wood layer, the mesh layer being configured to provide reinforcement, and an elastic layer laminated under the mesh layer, the elastic layer being configured to provide elasticity, a filament cross pad provided in an area of a vehicle desk where a real wood layer is to be applied, the filament cross pad being laminated under the elastic layer, and a core mounted on the vehicle desk, wherein the real wood sheet is configured for automatic wrapping.

A flexible sound barrier and rigid mounting assembly, and a method of attaching to a vehicle. The sound barrier assembly includes a rigid substrate, and flexible noise barrier and decoupling layers. The decoupling and noise barrier layers are bonded, and an adhesive bonds the decoupling layer to the substrate. The decoupling and noise barrier layers are fixedly held in place by the substrate. The substrate can include slots that fit over mounting studs on the vehicle wall. The noise barrier and decoupling layers can include mounting holes that extend through both layers, where the mounting holes line up with the slots, and fit over the mounting studs. The assembly can be mounted on the mounting studs and stud fasteners can fit through a mounting hole without compressing the noise barrier and decoupling layers and sandwich the rigid substrate surrounding a slot between the stud fastener and the vehicle wall.

The present invention relates to a reinforcement member made from a polymeric material. The present invention further relates to a vehicle comprising the reinforcement member, a method to absorb an impact on vehicle and a method to produce the reinforcement member.
