  • Patent number: 10011060
    Abstract: A shaped part comprises a decorative layer on a shaped-part front side, which is configured as the visible face, and a carrier on a shaped-part reverse side. The shaped-part front side is subdivided into at least two regions, a first region and a second region. The decorative layer comprises a first decorative material and a second decorative material, each having a front side and a reverse side. In the first region, the front side the first decorative material provides part of the visible face, and in the second region, the front side of the second decorative material provides part of the visible face. The method comprises preshaping the first and second decorative materials, placing the preshaped decorative materials into an opened cavity of an injection mold, closing the cavity, and configuring the carrier by injecting plastics material into the cavity.
