  • Patent number: 12390963
    Abstract: Tooling for manufacturing a vehicle panel having a substrate, a foam layer, and a decorative covering. The tooling includes a tool base having a tool aperture, and an insert having a sealing projection. The insert is located at least partially in the tool aperture. The sealing projection is configured to create a seal between the substrate and the decorative covering at least partially around a substrate aperture in the substrate. The substrate aperture is at least partially smaller than the tool aperture so as to form an overlapping seal area between the sealing projection of insert and the substrate. A manufacturing method can create a foam-less region between the decorative covering and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10829073
    Abstract: A vehicle interior panel includes a seal between a substrate and an airbag chute and around an opening in the substrate through which the airbag chute is installed. The seal prevents a foam layer from extending into the opening when the foam layer is being molded. The seal is attached to the airbag chute prior to assembly with the substrate and is made from a material that is more flexible than the airbag chute material. The seal can be attached to the airbag chute in a two-shot molding process and spaced from the perimeter of the airbag chute along its back side. During molding of the foam layer, foam expansion pressure acts to improve the function of the seal as a foam barrier.

  • Publication number: 20050183183
    Abstract: A glove has a palmer portion and finger portions configured for placement of a base layer of the palmer portion in contact with a palm of a hand when the glove is fully engaged. A topper layer of the palmer portion is fixedly engaged over the base layer with a resilient pad engaged between the base and topper layers. The resilient pad is outlined by a first stitching of elongated oval shape, and is parted by a second, approximately linear stitching extending at an angle across the palmer portion in correspondence with a lateral fold in the palm of the hand.
