  • Component for a vehicle
    Patent number: 11014497
    Abstract: A component (1) for a vehicle having a visible side (11) comprises a first light guide (2), which comprises a light coupling-in surface (25) and a plurality of first light deflection elements (211, 212, 213, 214, 215), wherein light can be coupled into the first light guide (2) through the light coupling-in surface (25), and a plurality of diffuser elements (311, 312, 313, 314, 315) which are designed to scatter light diffusely. The first light deflection elements (211, 212, 213, 214, 215) are each designed to deflect the light coupled into the first light guide (2) by a deflection angle directed in the direction of the diffuser elements (311, 312, 313, 314, 315) so that the diffuser elements (311, 312, 313, 314, 315) scatter said directed light diffusely in the direction of the visible side (11).

  • COMPONENT COMPRISING A COVER LAYER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COMPONENT OF THIS KIND
    Publication number: 20190263036
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for producing a component having a base element (1), which has a front side (10) delimited by an outer edge (11), a rear side (14) and one or more side surfaces (15) that connect the front side (10) to the rear side (14). The component also has a cover layer (2) formed of a coating, said layer being sprayed onto the base element (1), wherein during spraying, the coating is guided through one or more supply channels (16), which extend continuously through the base element (1) to the front side (10) and/or to one or more side surfaces (15). During spraying, the coating is flooded onto at least part of the side surfaces (15).
