Patent number: 7208213Abstract: The invention relates to a molded decorative film that can be foam-backed and that is used in the passenger compartment of motor vehicles. Said decorative film is provided with a break line that is defined by a notched weakening in cross-section in the airbag penetration area. Said weakening in cross-section is formed by an internal notch that is closed at both ends by the material of the decorative film. Preferably, a notch is produced that extends on the side that can be foam-backed to the surface of the film and the notch is then closed on said side by welding.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2000Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: Sai Automotive Sal GmbHInventor: Helmut Ulmer

Patent number: 6742830Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Sai Automotive Sal GmbHInventors: Eric Zimmerman, Friedhelm Manzke, Thomas Pratsch

Patent number: 6651998Abstract: The invention relates to a hidden safety covering for an airbag arranged behind a inner lining part (1) which consists of at least one supporting part (5), of a foam layer (4) and of a decorative layer (3). In an area which is delimited by a weakening (5′) of the cross-section and/or by a material separation (5″) in the supporting part, the material of the supporting part and at least portions of the foam layer can be removed before the airbag (2′) unfolds from the effective area thereof (7′), and can be brought behind the inner lining part, for example, into a capture chamber (8). To this end, the removable portion of material is preferably connected to a traction strip (10) which can be actuated by a traction device that can be initiated by a sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: SAI Automotive SAL GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Mayer, Jürgen Skowronnek, Thomas Jahn
