METHOD FOR TREATING FABRICS AND THEIR USE IN VEHICLE EQUIPMENT, IN PARTICULAR MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for creating a pre-weakened zone in a textile surface structure, in particular a fabric. According to the method, part of the textile material is removed by laser treatment in order to create a predetermined breaking point, for example to allow exit of an airbag. To achieve this, a line of interspaced performations along the pre-weakened zone preferably deviates from the respective distance between the threads. The invention also relates to a method for producing a trim element for a vehicle, in addition to textile surface structures and trim elements that are produced according to the inventive method.
