Interior soft trim/molding component e.g. for a car has a flexible foam substance with a spring to maintain a clearance between walls in a car's component like a glove box

摘要

A flexible foam substance with a spring (110) maintains a clearance between first (106) and second (108) walls. A drive element/wire (112) has a shape-changing effect induced by temperature so as to move the second wall towards the first wall. An independent claim is also included for an instrument panel module for a motor vehicle's glove box.
