Abstract: Described is an interior trimming piece (e.g., for a motor vehicle) which includes (a) a plastic substrate; (b) a metal reinforcing piece connected to the substrate and (c) at least one bridge. The metal reinforcing piece includes (i) a hinge sheet for bridging a channel for passage of an airbag in at least one region and (ii) a fastening frame for an airbag module which is connected in one piece with the hinge sheet via a hinge web. The at least one bridge engages behind the substrate in the at least one region. The bridge fixes the fastening frame to the substrate. The hinge sheet is mounted on a side of the substrate which faces away from an interior.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing element (1) for arranging between a lining part (3) and a steering column cover (5) of a steering axle, said sealing element being characterised in that it is formed from a foamed part (10) consisting of a restorable material and comprising two limbs (11a, 11b) and a curved, annular, or toroidal central part (11c) connecting the same, or being embodied in an annular or toroidal manner. The invention also relates to methods for mounting said sealing element on a lining part (3).

Abstract: Described is an interior trimming piece which includes (a) a plastic substrate; and (b) a metal reinforcing piece connected to the substrate. The metal reinforcing piece includes a hinge sheet for bridging a channel for passage of an airbag in at least one region. The hinge sheet, the substrate and at least one recess situate at least one fixing element which is engaged behind the recess for coupling of the hinge sheet and a portion of the substrate. A gap is provided between an inner edge of the recess and the fixing element to equalize an thermal expansion between the fixing element and the recess.
