Abstract: A device for making a multilayer part including an aspect layer with a granulated surface. Suction ports open out on a portion of a molding surface of an imprint with a shape complementary to a portion of the aspect layer, such as a peripheral portion.

Abstract: A method for making a multilayer part with a flexible local zone, designed for example to be used as interior fitting for a motor vehicle includes a finish layer, a rigid support layer, and at least one flexible block interposed between the finish layer and the support layer. The method includes a) shaping a peripheral edge of the flexible block by providing the edge with a tapered profile; b) fixing the flexible block on a lower surface of the finish layer at a predetermined position; c) arranging the finish layer and the flexible block in a moulding tool equipped with a punch and a die, defining between them a cavity; d) bringing a molten thermoplastic material into the cavity, beneath the lower surface of the finish layer, and exerting pressure on the material to distribute the material over the lower surface.

Abstract: An interior enclosure part for automotive vehicles equipped with an airbag includes a rigid frame having an opening located in front of the inflatable airbag, and a panel blocking the opening. The part includes a closed-contour latching assembly surrounding the opening and rigidly attached to the frame. The panel has a peripheral rim pinched between the latching assembly and the frame. The panel includes a layer of plastic material and a flexible covering molded onto the layer of plastic material.

Abstract: For a control rod disposed between a top corner of the sun visor and the hinge of the mirror flap on the sun visor, the end of the rod associated with the plate carries a cam that causes two electrical conductors to be pressed one against the other.
