Abstract: In a method for producing a trim article (1), the interspace between a sheet-like decorative material (5) and a carrier (3) is foam-filled. There is provision, during foaming, for the decorative material (5) to be pressed sealingingly onto the interior-side surface of the carrier (3) so as to run around the region to be foam-filled. In this case, the discharge of the air to be displaced during foaming can take place through the foam-tight, but, at least in regions, not gas-tight structure of the carrier (3). For this purpose, the carrier (3) can be gas-sealed in regions by the local compression of an intrinsically gas-permeable unprocessed part before introduction into the foaming die. Also disclosed is a trim article capable of being produced according to the method.

Abstract: An actuating lever (1), in particular for adjusting a vehicle seat, has an axle receptacle (2), an articulation device (4) for force delivery and a grip piece (3). The actuating lever (1) is manufactured in one piece from plastic, a core (5) which comprises the axle receptacle (2) and the articulation device (4) is manufactured from a material having higher strength than the grip piece (3).

Abstract: the invention relates to a passage for rods, especially for actuating rods (8) in a motor vehicle, comprising a receiving bushing (4) which is inserted into an assembly hole (2) of a component and which has an opening (6) for the rods (8). The receiving bushing (4) has, on one side, an extended auxiliary introduction element (16) protruding above the assembly hole (2) of the component in the form of a cone or a ramp whereby the end of the rods (8) to be introduced can be introduced into the opening of the passage (6) by slidingly placing it in or on the auxiliary introduction element (16).
