An interior trim part made by a method that includes the steps of bringing a fiber web onto a conveyor, needlepunching the fiber web to form a base in contact with the conveyor, and introducing a binder component on the base. The binder component introduced on the base is a thermoplastic polymer in solid form. The method includes a step for heating the base to cause the thermoplastic polymer making up the binder component to penetrate the base over a thickness smaller than the thickness of the base.

A method is disclosed for producing a three-dimensionally deformable velour carpet for a floor trim, luggage compartment trim or load floor trim for motor vehicles, the carpet surface of which has a needled structure on the visible side, as well as the trim itself.

A polyethylene terephthalate bulked continuous filament is manufactured by steps of melt-spinning, multi-step stretching a polyethylene terephthalate chip and a master batch chip for coloring, passing through a texturing nozzle, cooling, and winding and has an elastic modulus of 1.00E+07 to 5.00E+09 Pa at a temperature range of 10° C. to 200° C., the filament being manufactured by steps of melt-spinning a polyethylene terephthalate chip and a master batch chip for coloring, multi-step stretching, passing through a texturing nozzle, cooling, and winding.

Provided is a vehicle floor carpet which can suppress the occurrence of bagginess without causing an increase in manufacturing cost and an increase in weight. The vehicle floor carpet includes an insulator including a non-woven sheet, a carpet body disposed on and covers an upper surface of the insulator, and a load-bearing wall which is a compressed portion of the insulator and which extends between a floor panel and the carpet body and supports the floor panel and the carpet body and preserves a space between the floor panel and the carpet body.

A vehicle floor carpet securing system includes a trim piece that includes a lateral portion connected to a vertical portion at a corner. A standoff rib anchors to a silencer layer of a vehicle carpet at an end. The standoff rib has an opposite end that engages the trim piece at the lateral portion, vertical portion and/or the corner to inhibit movement of the carpet relative to the trim piece.

A seat rail cover includes a retaining section, configured to be introduced at least partially into a part of the seat rail, and a cover section, configured to cover the seat rail when the retaining section is introduced into the seat rail. At least the cover section of the seat rail cover is formed in one piece by 3D printing. Geometry, surface texture, color composition and/or color pattern of at least a visible part of the cover section in the installed state of the seat rail cover are matched to a surface and/or a floor covering of a floor element next to a seat rail to which the seat rail cover is connectable. Furthermore, a floor element with a seat rail and a seat rail cover as well as an aircraft with such a floor element. A method for manufacturing a seat rail cover by 3D printing.

A floor carpet is placed on a floor panel forming a cabin floor surface. The floor carpet comprises a skin layer which is configured to block an airflow therethrough and a sound-absorption layer which is made of a sound-absorption material and configured to allow an airflow therein, the sound-absorption layer being provided below the skin layer to contact the floor panel at a lower face thereof. A space between the skin layer and the floor panel (a space portion where the sound-absorption layer is arranged) is sealed with a seal member which is configured to surround the sound-absorption layer. The seal member is pressed against the floor panel (tightly) by a pressing member which is fixed to a vehicle-body side with a fixing tool.

Device for covering at least partially a vehicle floor pan comprising a sound absorbing material and at least a reinforcing block, whereby the reinforcing block is at least partially covered with the sound absorbing material characterised in that at least the lower face of the reinforcing block defines at least a dome shaped protrusion.
