An electroacoustic vibrator is mounted on the inner portion at the back surface at a predetermined location and is configured to vibrate the panel over the range of audible frequencies in response to an electrical signal. The intermediate portion is configured to increase modal density of the panel.

The vehicle headliner includes a base layer, a skin layer disposed on one side of the base layer, and an infrared reflecting layer and a protection layer, in this order, disposed on the other side of the base layer. The base layer contains thermoplastic resin and fiber. The protection layer is a non-stretched resin layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 200° C. or more.

Stability of shock absorbing property of a shock absorber provided on a back surface of a door trim is improved. A shock absorber is attached on the back surface of the door trim, and absorbs impact applied to the door. A quadrangular tube element of the shock absorber has an end plate on a tube tip surface, and faces the back surface of the door trim. The quadrangular tube element has an approximate U shape in which three side surfaces are closed by an upper plate, a lower plate, and a front plate, and the remaining one side surface is opened.

A remote control an automotive vehicle, the remote control including a 3-D shaped object, stretch sensors connecting the 3-D shaped object to a structure of the vehicle and a control unit configured to collect information from the stretch sensors, the remote control being configured to control a display of the automotive vehicle, the remote control being configured to be integrated in a stretchable fabric part of an interior of the vehicle.

A speaker arrangement structure includes: a speaker device provided in an A-pillar (front pillar) of a vehicle and configured to turn and transmit sound, produced upward, toward a vehicle compartment; a curtain airbag extending in an up-down direction along an extending direction of the A-pillar and attached to the front pillar; and a bracket configured to attach a lower end of the curtain airbag to the front pillar. The speaker device is arranged below the bracket.

A trim panel intended to be arranged within the interior of a vehicle cabin, the trim panel having an appearance face intended to be visible to an occupant of the cabin, a reverse face provided with an interface for attachment of the trim panel to a support member, and at least one attachment bracket forming part of the attachment interface. The appearance face defines a tactile interaction area intended to serve as a control input for the occupant, and at least one sensor assembly is arranged on an attachment bracket, each sensor assembly being adapted to, when the trim panel is arranged inside a cabin, detect a deformation of its attachment bracket upon pressure exerted by an occupant on the trim panel on the tactile interaction area.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle interior trim part with an integrated electrical or optical device, the vehicle interior trim part comprising a carrier and a connector element for connecting the electrical or optical device. The connector element comprises at least one connector pin operatively connected to the electrical or optical device, a guide element in which the connector pin is partially received, and which is adapted to provide a plug receptacle for a positive connection of the connector pin, and a base element extending substantially laterally with respect to the carrier.

A vehicle interior component comprising a cover with a surface providing a display region is disclosed. The component may comprise a composite layer/structure and light source to provide light at a first and a second visible color/wavelength. The composite layer may comprise light-transmissive segments with color and light-transmissive transparent/translucent segments; light at the first wavelength is transmitted through a first segment and transparent/translucent segment to present a first image/visual effect at the display region; light at the second wavelength is transmitted through a second segment and transparent/translucent segment to present a second image/visual effect at the display region; light at the first wavelength is obstructed by the second segment; light at the second wavelength is obstructed by the first segment; transparent/translucent segments transmit light at first and second wavelengths. The composite layer may comprise a multi-layer form on the cover.

An interior trim panel for a vehicle interior. The panel includes an air distributing member for distributing the air, a first air distribution channel for distributing the airflow from the air distributing member into the vehicle interior. A canopy is configured to partly cover an accessory arranged on the interior trim panel. Further, the interior trim panel includes a second air distribution channel configured in a gap formed between the canopy and the accessory for distributing the airflow from the air distributing member. Further, the air distributing from the second distribution channel is deviated towards the vehicle interior by a curved extension of the canopy.

A bracket assembly for a vehicle frame includes a trim piece with a high retention clip. The trim piece incudes a deployable portion that is configured to partially deploy in response to a first predetermined force. An inflator tube is concealed by the trim piece and includes an air curtain. A bracket is operably coupled to the trim piece. The bracket has a deformable portion and side portions.
