  • Plastics welding tool and method using relief areas for reduced read-through
    Patent number: 8435369
    Abstract: A welding tool, such as a vibration welding tool, includes one or more relief areas for material to flow into during a welding process to help prevent deformation of a substrate that a component is being attached to.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2013
    Assignee: Faurecia Interior Systems, Inc.

  • Shock-absorbent lining element for the interior of a vehicle
    Patent number: 6742830
    Abstract: A lining element arranged on the side of a vehicle chassis part facing the interior with at least one section, which can be deformed due to the effect of an external force, and which will absorb impact energy by transforming into a deformed state. A support layer is formed in the region of the deformable section from, viewed from the interior, an outer deformation part, an inner deformation part, and a step edge set between these parts. The outer deformation part, the inner deformation part, and the step edge change their slope under the effect of the external force for energy absorption.
