Panel-Like Laminate and a Skin for Manufacturing Such Laminate

摘要

The panel-like laminate comprises a flexible skin ( 1 ), a rigid substrate ( 2 ) and an intermediate layer ( 3 ). The flexible skin ( 1 ) comprises a main part ( 8 ) which forms the front side of the laminate and at least one flange ( 9 ) which extends from the main part ( 8 ) of the skin towards the substrate ( 2 ) to form at least a portion of the lateral side of the laminate. In order to avoid foam leakage when moulding the intermediate layer ( 3 ) between the skin ( 1 ) and the substrate ( 2 ), the flange ( 9 ) is extended by a border part ( 10 ) which comprises a flexible lip ( 11 ). The flexible lip is pressed against the rigid substrate ( 2 ) so that the flexible lip ( 11 ) forms a seal between the skin and the substrate. To prevent deformation of the skin, the border part ( 10 ) of the skin further comprises at least one continuous or discontinuous ridge ( 12 ) which extends along the flange ( 9 ) of the skin ( 1 ) and which prevents a sliding of this border part when closing the mould.
