Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle, including a first lighting submodule with a light source that is able to form a first light beam, a second lighting submodule that is able to form a second light beam, a second projecting lens for projecting the second light beam, adjoining the first projecting lens, and an optical device configured to return, towards the second projecting lens, light rays coming directly from the light source of the first lighting submodule and passing in front of the reflective surface of the first lighting module so as to give the second projecting lens an illuminated appearance while the second lighting submodule is off.

Abstract: A molding tool and method for producing an interior trim part. A cavity is embodied between a first element and a second element, and a slide is displaceably connected to the first element. A decorative layer is arranged on the first element and a backing is arranged on the second element. A foamable mixture is added to the hollow area between the backing and a reverse side of the decorative layer, such that a foam layer fills the hollow area. A distance between the first element and the second element is increased to enlarge the hollow area. During this process, the slide is pressed against a side facing away from the reverse side of the decorative layer, such that the hollow area is sealed with the reverse side of the decorative layer pressed against a lateral surface of the backing and/or against a lateral surface of the second element.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing inner trim elements which are formed by a rigid carrier and a cover layer, between which elements a polymer foam layer is arranged. The carrier is fixable on a first molding tool element, and the cover layer is fixable between the outer edge of the first molding tool element and the outer edge of a second molding tool element. In the molding tool, a cavity is formed between the carrier and the cover layer, wherein a foamable polymer is introducible into the cavity via at least one through-hole which is formed in the carrier and the first molding tool element. The distance between the first and the second molding tool element is enlargeable during the foaming process. At least one through-hole for an escape of air and reactively formed gases out of the cavity is formed in the carrier and in the first molding tool element.

Abstract: To provide a powder slush molding apparatus and a powder slush molding method that could quickly and stably produce a 2-color molded sheet-like article with high-durability and the like. The present invention is directed to a powder slush molding apparatus provided with a powder slush part (Part A), a mold heating part (Part B), a mold cooling part (Part C), and a coating/demolding part (Part E) for manufacturing the 2-color molded sheet-like article and the powder slush molding method thereof. After a 1-200 ?m thick coating layer consisting of a first resin is coated by a resin coating device in the coating/demolding part, a sheet-like article consisting of a second resin which is different from the first resin is molded on or adjacent to the coating layer consisting of the first resin in the powder slush part.
