Method for producing interior lining parts in a foaming tool

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing interior lining parts in a foaming tool, to an interior lining part produced accordingly, and to a foaming tool which can be used for production. The interior lining part has at least one molded skin, at least one foam layer and at least one carrier, the foam layer being located between the molded skin and the carrier. In order to produce an interior lining part according to the invention, the molded skin is introduced into a mold of a foaming tool. The foaming tool contains at least one separating edge. During back-foaming, the carrier is pressed against the molded skin at the position of the separating edge and connected to said molded skin such that a molded skin end can be severed manually, that is without the aid of tools, from the molded skin or is severed by the pressing step.

主权项

1. A method for producing interior trim parts which have at least one molded skin, at least one foam layer and at least one carrier, comprising the following steps:
a) positioning the molded skin in a mold of a foaming tool, wherein the mold has at least one separating edge for introducing a defined reduction of a thickness of the molded skin along a cutting line; b) introducing the carrier into the mold of the foaming tool and back-foaming the molded skin using a foam, wherein the molded skin is pressed toward the carrier at a position of the separating edge and is connected with the carrier and a sealing is achieved at this position, the sealing being not permeable for foam, wherein a residual thickness of the molded skin at this position is low enough that a part of the molded skin projecting beyond dimensions of the carrier can be separated from the part of the molded skin connected to the carrier by hand or by the pressing; and c) removing the interior trim part from the foaming tool and separating the part of the molded skin projecting beyond dimensions of the carrier.
