  • Fabrication method for making a trim element by welding of a structural element and a functional element
    Patent number: 10377119
    Abstract: An assembly method for assembling a structural element and a functional element constituted of a first functional element part and a second functional element part. The method includes the steps of (a) bringing into contact the first functional element part, the second functional element part and the structural element in at least one assembly zone, with the first functional element part being in contact with the second functional element part, and the first functional element part and the second functional element part being respectively in contact with the structural element in the assembly zone, and (b) welding of the first and the second functional element parts on to the structural element in the assembly zone in a single welding pass in a manner so as to simultaneously attach the first and the second functional element parts to the structural element.
