Abstract: A cladding part has a carrier part and a surface covering, which is arranged on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface covering. The surface covering is made of an intrinsically stiff knitted-fabric material.

Abstract: A device for thermosetting a knitted fabric includes a first tool half and a second tool half. The first tool half and the second tool half in a closed position enclose a cavity in which the knitted fabric is receivable. Each of the first tool half and the second tool half have a respective shape-imparting effective surface by way of which an external form of the knitted fabric is determinable. The device further includes a heating installation where thermal energy is introducible into the knitted fabric via the heating installation.

Abstract: A method for producing a trim part includes the following steps: generating a surface covering, wherein a knitted semi-finished product is generated on a flat knitting machine; the knitted semi-finished product is washed; the washed knitted semi-finished product is heat set; and laminating, in particular press-laminating or compression-laminating, the generated surface covering onto a carrier part.

Abstract: An interior part for a vehicle includes a decorative part composed of a textile material that has a fold section where the fold section is a portion of the textile material that has a changed material property. A method for producing an interior part for a vehicle includes providing a decorative part composed of a textile material and producing a fold section in the decorative part by changing a material property of the textile material along a line and/or in a region by an input of thermal energy.

Abstract: A cladding part has a carrier part. A surface of the carrier part is at least in sections covered by a surface cover of knitted material. A predetermined breaking point is configured in the surface cover. A method is provided for producing the cladding part.

Abstract: A cladding part has a textile covering, wherein the covering forms a visible surface of a wall. At least one wall portion of the covering is transferable into a position in which the wall portion forms at least one outer wall region of a receptacle.

Abstract: A trim part has a carrier part and a surface cover which is disposed on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface cover. The surface cover is made from an inherently stiff knitted fabric material.

Abstract: A method for heat-setting and laminating a 3D knitted fabric, which fabric has hot-melt adhesive yarn, on a carrier device for an interior component of a motor vehicle, includes the following steps: arranging the 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device in a laminating apparatus; activating the hot-melt adhesive yarn by way of the laminating apparatus for the heat-setting of the 3D knitted fabric; laminating the heat-set 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device by way of the laminating apparatus. A laminating apparatus for performing the heat-setting and laminating of the 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device is provided.

Abstract: A method for producing a trim part includes generating a surface covering, wherein the surface covering is generated by a knitting method and fastening elements are disposed on the surface covering. The carrier part is covered with the generated surface covering. Fixing elements are disposed on the carrier part. The fastening elements of the surface covering are connected in a form-fitting manner to the fixing elements of the carrier part.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for an adaptive user interface system for a vehicle with an automatic vehicle system. The adaptive user interface system includes a display and an electronic controller. The controller is configured to generate a graphical user interface indicative of operation of the automatic vehicle system, output the graphical user interface on the display, monitor an indicia of a driver's comfort level, and determine, based on the monitored indicia, when the driver is not comfortable with the operation of the automatic vehicle system. In response to determining that the driver is not comfortable with the operation of the automatic vehicle system, the electronic controller modifies the graphical user interface to provide an increased level of detail.
