Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] In the figures:

[0020] FIG. 1 shows a schematically greatly simplified basic illustration of a first embodiment of an interior surface arrangement, and

[0021] FIG. 2 shows an illustration, corresponding to FIG. 1, of a second embodiment of the interior surface arrangement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of an interior surface arrangement 1 according to the disclosure, which is suitable in particular for use in motor vehicles.

[0023] In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the interior surface arrangement 1 comprises a decorative structure 2 which, in this embodiment, has an outer decorative layer 3, which is the layer of the interior surface arrangement 1 that is visible when installed, for example in a motor vehicle.

[0024] In this embodiment, a planar heating element 4 is arranged directly adjacent to the decorative layer 3 and can be connected thereto by way of an adhesive bond.

[0025] On its opposite side, the planar heating element 4 is also connected, for example likewise by way of an adhesive bond, to a haptic layer 6 arranged between the planar heating element 4 and the carrier part 5. The haptic layer 6 can also be connected to the carrier part 5, which preferably comprises a polymer, by way of an adhesive bond.

[0026] In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in addition to the haptic layer 6, a second haptic layer 7 is arranged between the planar heating element 4 and the outer decorative layer 3 and can also be adhesively bonded to the decorative layer 3 and to the planar heating element 4. This affords the advantage that the heating wires of the planar heating element 4 can be leveled out.

[0027] However, in addition to an adhesive bond, other connecting devices are also conceivable.

[0028] In addition to the foregoing written disclosure of the invention, reference is hereby explicitly made, in order to supplement the disclosure, to the graphic illustration of embodiments of the invention in FIGS. 1 and 2.
