Method for manufacturing a flexible skin having at least one insert adhered thereto.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a flexible skin (1) which has at least one insert (2) adhered thereto. In a first step, the skin is produced on a mould surface (6). In order to adhere the insert (2) to the skin (1), an opening (13) is first made in the skin giving access to the back face (14) of the insert (2). The insert is positioned with its back face against the front face (12) of the skin (1) and an adhering layer (17) is provided which is adhesively connected to the back face (18) of the skin layer (1) which surrounds the opening (13) in the skin layer and, through this opening, to the back face (14) of the insert (2). The adhering layer (17) is preferably produced by applying a layer of a hardenable material, in particular a curable polyurethane composition. Since the back face (14) of the insert (2) engages the front side (12) of the skin (1) penetration of hardenable material to the front face (24) of the insert is avoided.
