Abstract: The lining element (10) for a motor vehicle comprises a rigid support element (12) and a covering element (14) covering the support element (12), the covering element (14) comprising a skin (26) intended to be visible to an occupant of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, the support element (12) defining at least one opening (22) for the deployment of an airbag toward the outside of the lining element (10), a frame (16) being connected to the support element (12) and extending around the periphery of said opening (22), the frame (16) carrying a continuous rib (34) extending from the frame (16) into the covering element (14), along at least a part of the periphery of the opening (22). The rib (34) is connected to the frame (16) by a weakening line (50) enabling the deformation of the rib (34) with respect to the frame (16) in the event of an impact against the lining element (10).

Abstract: A component is produced according to the following steps: a) insertion at least of two skins into the second tool half of a tool having a cavity-forming first tool half and second tool half such that the skins overlap in their end regions; b) rear-foaming or rear-spraying of the skins with a foam material or spraying material, c) by exerting low pressure in the region of the overlap, the internally situated end region of the one skin being pressed against the externally situated end region of the other skin in a foam-tight or injection molding-tight manner.

Abstract: A method for production of a component in a tool having a cavity-forming first and a second tool half comprises the following steps: a) insertion at least of two skins with angled-over end regions into the second tool half such that the angled-over end regions of the skins are situated adjacently with the same orientation and angling; b) rear-foaming or rear-spraying of the skins with a foam material or injection moulding material, c) after insertion of the skins, the end regions of the skins being pressed together in a foam-tight or spray-fight manner at least in regions by pressing at least on one side of the end regions which are situated one above the other against a wall which determines the form and position of the pressed-together end regions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a component having a multipart cover layer and also to a component having a multilayer cover layer. The method according to the invention for the production of a component comprises the steps: a) insertion at least of two skins (3, 4; 20, 21; 41, 42; 81, 82) into the second tool half of a tool having a cavity-forming first tool half (1) and second tool half (2; 27; 40; 60; 80) such that the skins overlap in their end regions (5, 6; 22, 23; 43, 44; 83, 84); b) rear-foaming or rear-spraying of the skins with a foam material (7, 24) or spraying material, c) by exerting low pressure in the region of the overlap, the internally situated end region (6; 23; 44; 84) of the one skin (4; 21; 42; 82) being pressed against the externally situated end region (5; 22; 43; 83) of the other skin (3; 20; 41; 81) in a foam-tight or injection moulding-tight manner.
