ILLUMINATED INNER TRIM FOR VEHICLES

摘要

Illuminated inner trim for vehicles comprising a substrate, a decorative lining, and integrated between these a set of LEDs that can provide a decorative illumination such that when on they are visible through the decorative lining as well-defined points of light, while when off they are unseen. Specifically, when said LEDs are on and the vehicle occupants change their angle of vision with respect to the LEDs, a set of points of light will be seen with variable intensity due to the contrast between areas of direct light and areas of shade, causing a sparkling effect.

1. Illuminated inner trim for vehicles comprising:
a substrate (2); a decorative lining (3) that covers one of the faces (2.1) of the substrate (2) comprising:
a first layer (3.1) of knit fabric located nearest the substrate (2);a second layer (3.2) of knit fabric located farther away from the substrate (2); andan intermediate layer (3.3) formed by threads (3.3.1) that connect said first layer (3.1) and second layer (3.2); wherein said first layer (3.1), second layer (3.2) and intermediate layer (3.3) form a single three-dimensional knit fabric; a set of LEDs (4) placed between the substrate (2) and the decorative lining (3), wherein said LEDs (4) have a dimension “a” corresponding to the minimum width of the light emission surface of the LED (4); wherein the first layer (3.1) includes opaque threads (3.1.1) knitted to one another to form orifices (3.1.2) with a maximum dimension “b” that is smaller than the dimension “a”; wherein the threads (3.3.1) that form the intermediate layer (3.3) are opaque; and wherein the LEDs (4) are in contact with the first layer (3.1).
