Definitions

  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a further embodiment of a vehicle trim component manufactured by compression forming a fiber panel against an airbag chute assembly.
  • the mold cavity 40 includes a third void 74 extending about the periphery 58 of the fiber panel 44. Resin may be injected into the void 74 to establish a border about the fiber panel 44 as the resin hardens and/or cures.
  • the mold assembly 32 includes a third fluid pathway 76 extending between the port 56 and a first portion of the void 74, and a fourth fluid pathway 78 extending between the port 56 and a second portion of the void 74. In this configuration, when liquid resin is injected into the port 56, the resin flows into the void 74, thereby establishing a border surrounding the fiber panel 44.
  • the outer surface of the trim component 100 may be substantially smooth.
  • the cover stock 94 when the cover stock 94 is applied to the outer surface 82 of the fiber panel 44, the cover stock may form a smooth show surface, thereby aesthetically enhancing the vehicle trim component 100.
  • the airbag door 60 may be configured to tear an opening in the fiber panel 44 and the cover stock 94 to facilitate airbag deployment. For example, when the airbag deploys, contact between the airbag and the door 60 induces the door panels to separate from one another along the recess 62. As the airbag drives the panels in the direction 98, the panels tear an opening in the fiber panel 44 and the cover stock 94, thereby facilitating airbag deployment.
  • FIG. 15 is a flow diagram of an embodiment of a method 166 of manufacturing a vehicle trim component by injecting resin behind a fiber panel to form a mounting structure for an airbag module.
  • a fiber panel is heated.
  • the fiber panel includes thermoplastic resin, heating the panel softens the resin, thereby facilitating compression forming of the panel.
  • the fiber panel is disposed within a mold cavity, as represented by block 170.
  • a fabric support is disposed onto the rear surface of the fiber panel, as represented by block 172. As previously discussed, the fabric support is configured to retain the door portion of the fiber panel during deployment of the airbag.
