Abstract: An automobile trim has a trim body (a base layer) formed of a rubber composition and having a design surface, a decorating layer formed of a thermoplastic elastomer composition and thermally bonded integrally with the design surface of the trim body. A thermal bonding layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin composition and interposed between the decorating layer and the trim body so that the decorating layer is thermally bonded integrally with the trim body through the thermal bonding layer. The thermal bonding layer has a thickness to an extent not to prevent bending flexibility when the trim is attached to a vehicle body. In another example, a cushion layer is laminated on the trim body and formed of sponge rubber of EPDM, a decorating layer is laminated on the cushion layer and formed by foaming olefin thermoplastic elastomer, and an olefin bonding layer for bonding the cushion layer and the decorating layer.

Abstract: A free curved surface precision machining tool for precision-machining a surface to be machined with the lower end in contact therewith by rotation around an axis x. It includes a drum-shaped tool having a rotation axis x orthogonal to the axis z and rotationally driven around the rotation axis x. This drum-shaped tool has a convex machining surface in the form of an arcuate rotary body obtained by rotating an arc of a radius r with the center at the intersection O between the axis z and the rotation axis x around the rotation axis x. The convex machining surface contacts the surface to be machined to precision-machine the latter, while the convex machining surface is rotated around the orthogonal axis x so as to disperse the machining position of the convex machining surface.

Abstract: The invention is to provide a vehicle glass run, in which a seal lip prevents displacement or vibration of a door glass, exactly holds the door glass, reduces sliding resistance between the door glass and the seal lip, and prevent generation of abnormal noises. The vehicle-interior seal lip is formed to be longer than a vehicle-exterior seal lip, and has a body of the vehicle-interior seal lip extending from the vehicle-interior side wall, a bent portion thereof being bent toward a bottom wall from the body of the vehicle-interior seal lip, and a front end portion of the same extending from the bent portion with a length contacting the vehicle-interior side wall at the front end portion of the vehicle-interior seal lip, when the door glass contacts the vehicle-interior seal lip. The vehicle-interior side wall is performed with a treatment to reduce the sliding resistance on a face of the vehicle-interior side wall contacted by the vehicle-interior seal lip.
