Abstract: A vehicle trim element that includes at least one supporting layer having an internal face and an external face, and a skin having an internal face and an external face. The internal face of the skin covers the external face of the supporting layer in at least one detection area. The supporting layer has a through-orifice extending from the internal face to the external face of the supporting layer. At least one detection element is located in the through-orifice. The detection element is in constant contact with the portion of the internal face of the skin covering the through-orifice of the supporting layer.

Abstract: The trim element (1) comprises at least one decorative element (6) made in a first material and comprising an external face forming a portion of the visible face of the trim element (1) and an internal face, said decorative element (6) being laid out on a film in plastic material (4), different from the first material, said film (6) comprising at least one underside area (16), extending over the internal face of the decorative element (6), said film being at least partly laid out on a substrate (2). The film (4) further comprises at least one peripheral area (18) extending around at least one portion of the decorative element (6) and forming another portion of the visible face of the trim element (1).

Abstract: The invention concerns the manufacture of a part comprising a foam layer borne by a support. The invention concerns a manufacturing method including providing a foam layer (18) on a surface of a mold part (10), while the mold is open, closing the mold so that it defines a cavity between the foam layer (18) and another mold part (14), and injecting into the cavity a non-cellular plastic material designed to form the support (20). The method includes, after injecting the plastic material of the support (20), a step of gradually spacing apart at a predetermined speed the two parts of the mold (10, 14), in a direction having a component in the direction of the thickness of the foam layer (18). The invention is applicable to motor vehicle interior trims.
