Abstract: A trim cup of a latch or access of a door, hatchback, or a fuel cap cover of a motor vehicle forming a handle recess has a manually pivotable cover flap hinged on the outside of the trim cup and connected to a latch for the purpose of opening the door, hatchback, or fuel cap cover. The trim cup and/or the outer edge of the trim cup is provided with reinforcement in the form of a composite material of thermoplastic polypropylene or polyester with at least one textile reinforcing layer with strips, fibers, or yarns of polypropylene, polyester, metal, carbon, or an aramid.

Abstract: A composite material provided in the form of a sheet material includes at least one textile layer as a cover for an airbag. The cover is arranged to form at least one flap with a hinge which includes a hinge region. One side or both sides of the at least one textile layer includes a plastics coating. A melting point of the plastics coating is lower than a melting point of the at least one textile layer. The hinge region is arranged to form at least one single or double fold along the hinge so that the sheet material contacts itself once or twice. In a region of the at least one single or double fold, areas of the plastics coating are arranged to contact each other and, via a prior introduction of heat or a subsequent introduction of heat, are melted onto each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag cover hinge comprising a textile hinge, which can be connected to the airbag cover as well as to a supporting part surrounding the airbag cover, wherein the airbag cover hinge has a textile base structure, in which stop threads are integrated, the tensile strength of which is the same as or lower than of the threads of the base structure and the length of which is greater than the textile base structure.

Abstract: A cover for a motor-vehicle body-panel hole through which a rollover body can be raised. The cover has a rigid flap engaged over the hole and having a plurality of edges, and a textile fixed to and extending over the flap, across the edges, and over adjacent regions of the body panel. The textile is constructed such that, on upward movement of the panel caused by raising of the rollover body, the textile ruptures at all but one of the edges and remains intact to form a hinge at the one edge for upward pivoting of the flap at the one edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a covering for an airbag having at least one airbag that is articulated on the stationary covering region surrounding the airbag cover by a textile hinge, wherein the airbag cover and the covering region surrounding the airbag cover are formed from a sheet material made of plastic, the rear face of which supports a textile surface element having sacrificial threads (2) that extend substantially at right angles to the hinge axis (3) and tear in the region (A) of the hinge when the airbag is activated, and wherein the textile surface element also has stop threads that, when the airbag is activated, allow the airbag cover to pivot about the hinge axis (3) without tearing in the region of the hinge in order to hold the airbag cover securely after activation of the airbag, wherein the non-tearing stop threads are arranged such that said threads are compressed in the form of corrugations and/or loops only in region (A) of the hinge and therefore have a greater length there than in the regio

Abstract: An airbag cover hinge has load-absorption capabilities that provide a controlled release of the airbag cover during airbag deployment. The hinge has a textile base structure formed of longitudinal and cross threads. High strength, load-bearing stop threads are integrated into the textile base structure. When the airbag deploys, the longitudinal threads eventually tear, while the stop threads extend in length and function as a hinge that holds the torn parts of the textile base structure together.
