Abstract: A manufacturing method for an automotive vehicle component that includes the steps of: arranging at least a first skin capable of solidifying on a first half-mold of a mold; closing a second half-mold of the mold to form the first skin; then solidifying the first skin in the molding cavity defined between the first half-mold and the second half-mold. The second half-mold has a piercing element with at least one point-shaped end, and the method includes piercing by the piercing element of at least one through-hole in the first skin before solidification of the first skin.

Abstract: An automotive interior equipment tray that defines a top surface, an under surface and a peripheral edge section extending between the under surface and the top surface over a contour of the tray. The peripheral edge section defines with the under surface a peripheral ridge. The tray includes a bead protruding from the under surface in the vicinity of the peripheral ridge.

Abstract: A rear vehicle assembly having: two side trims intended to laterally bound a trunk, and a tray, movable relative to the side trims between a concealing position and a storage position. The tray includes at least one first panel, and one second panel linked to the first panel, defining two side edges of the tray. Each side trim defines a guide path for the tray. The tray includes at least one hinge articulating the first panel to the second panel, such that the side edge of the tray is adapted to cooperate with a respective guide path. And the rear vehicle assembly includes a driving mechanism adapted to drive the tray from the concealing position to the storage position.

Abstract: A fabrication method for fabricating an equipment part for an automotive vehicle. The method includes the following steps. Supplying a sheet comprising ceramic fibers and thermofusible polymer fibers, the melting temperature of the thermofusible polymer being higher than 200° C. Heating the sheet, at a temperature higher than 200° C., so as to melt the thermofusible polymer. Applying a fabric on the sheet, the fabric comprising filament yarns having a core made of polymer presenting a softening point temperature that is higher than or equal to 200° C. And then thermoforming of the fabric and the sheet in a conforming mold.

Abstract: A method for producing a composite part. The method includes the following steps: stacking a first mat, a spacer and a second mat in a heatable mold; at least one of the mats including a continuous web of fibers impregnated with a thermosetting resin; and compressing and heating of the stack by the heatable mold, in order to polymerize the thermosetting resin. The stacking step includes the deposition, in a heatable mold, of a first and a second filtration layer, in contact respectively with the first and second mats, on the opposite side from the spacer. The filtration layers are porous to steam and relatively less porous to the thermosetting resin. During the compression and heating step steam is evacuated from the mold.

Abstract: This method includes the arrangement of a first sheet (22A) of porous material on a first face (18) of a base layer and of a second sheet (22B) of porous material of a second face (20) of the base layer before a heating step. Each sheet (22A, 22B) of porous material has a thickness of less than that of the formed layer (16). The sheets (22A, 22B) of porous material confine between them the molten polymeric material derived from the heat fusible polymer fibers during the heating step. The sheets (22A, 22B) of porous material are bound to the formed layer (16) after the step for building up the formed layer (16), in order to make up a first composite body (12A).

Abstract: A thread intended to be woven. The thread includes a core made of a polymer, and a sheath covering the core. The sheath is formed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The thread individually presents, at 130° C., an elongation at maximal force, such as measured with the D411099 standard, greater than or equal to 20%.

Abstract: This component comprises a first mat of felt and a second mat of felt, each felt mat comprising fibers and a resin binding the fibers. It comprises a spacer interposed between the first mat and the second mat, the first mat and the second mat being fixed to opposite faces of the spacer. At least one of the first mat and the second mat comprises at least 50 wt % of wood fibers bound together by the resin.
