Abstract
Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/708,561, filed Mar. 11, 2004 The disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention is also related to U.S. Ser. No. 10/709,698, filed May 24, 2004; U.S. Ser. No. 10/710,497, filed Jul. 15, 2004; and U.S. Ser. No. 10/710,499, filed Jul. 15, 2004.
- The present invention pertains generally to automotive interiors and more particularly to trim assemblies for automotive interiors.
- It is known to provide automotive interiors with various trim assemblies to improve the aesthetic appearance of the automotive interior and for the comfort and convenience of vehicle occupants. Examples of these interior trim assemblies include the instrument panels, armrests, door trim panels and consoles. For example, armrests are typically secured to a vertical panel of the automotive interior such as a door panel and project inboard from the door trim panel to provide a convenient rest for an occupant's arm. To further increase the aesthetic appearance of the trim assemblies and to improve the comfort and convenience to vehicle occupants, it is often desired to form at least portions of the trim assemblies with areas which are soft to the touch. Typically, these soft areas have been formed by providing a resilient padding material beneath a pliable surface layer such as leather, vinyl, or fabric material.
- One conventional method of forming a trim assembly with padded material includes injecting a foam material between a rigid substrate and a skin layer joined to the substrate. In another conventional method, a preformed, soft, resilient pad is secured to a rigid plastic shell and a pliable skin layer is stretched over the pad and secured to the shell to form the trim assembly. These prior methods are generally costly due to the multiple components and manufacturing steps required to make the padded trim assemblies.
- Various other trim assemblies have been manufactured using a two-shot molding process wherein a relatively soft skin layer is formed over a hard substrate material without padding. The substrate and skin layer are formed so as to provide a recess or cavity for inserting a resilient padding material that provides a soft feel to the trim assembly. To insert the padding material into the recess, the padding material is secured to a top surface of a rigid pad carrier which facilitates the insertion of the pad material into the cavity. A separate closeout or door panel then couples to the substrate to cover the opening to the cavity and enclose the pad carrier and pad material within the cavity. Inserting the pad material into trim assemblies and securing the pad material and pad carrier therein requires additional components that increase the overall manufacturing cost of the trim assemblies.
- There is thus a need for an improved trim assembly and a method for inserting foam padding into a trim assembly that reduces the number of components and further reduces manufacturing costs
- The present invention provides an automotive interior trim assembly that exhibits a soft feel, but which can be produced in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The trim assembly may be formed as an instrument panel, an armrest, a door panel, a console or other interior trim component that would benefit from having at least some areas which are soft to the touch.
- In one embodiment, the trim assembly comprises a substrate member forming at least part of a structural support of the trim assembly and including a moveable panel integrally formed in the substrate and moveable between an open and closed position. A flexible skin overlies at least a portion of the substrate member and is integrally coupled to the substrate. The substrate and flexible skin are configured to define a cavity having an opening. The cavity opening is accessible when the moveable panel is in the open position and the moveable panel covers the cavity opening when in the closed position. A resilient foam pad is positioned within the cavity to provide a soft feel to the trim assembly. The foam pad is insertable into the cavity when the moveable panel is in the open position. The resilient foam pad is enclosed within the cavity when the moveable panel is in the closed position.
- The foam pad is inserted into the cavity using a vacuum insertion tool having apertures along a top surface of a planar member adapted to support the foam pad. The foam pad is placed on the top surface of the planar member and a vacuum is created along the apertures that causes the foam pad to compress in a downward direction. The foam pad is then inserted into the cavity while in the compressed state. Once positioned in the cavity, the vacuum is released which causes the foam pad to expand thereby snugly filling the cavity. The vacuum insertion tool is then removed from the cavity and the moveable panel is positioned and secured in the closed position so as to enclose the foam pad within the cavity.
- The features and objectives of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following Detailed Description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the invention.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary automotive interior trim assembly according to the present invention, in the form of an armrest; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the armrest ofFIG. 1 , without the foam pad; -
FIGS. 3A-3D are sequential cross-sectional views illustrating the insertion of a resilient foam pad into the armrest ofFIG. 1 according to the present invention; and -
FIG. 4 is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view of the vacuum insertion tool used in the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , there is shown an exemplary automotive interior trim assembly of the present invention, in the form of an armrest 10. The armrest 10 is attached to avertical panel 12 within the interior of an automobile, such as a door panel. In the embodiment shown, the armrest 10 includes afirst portion 14 providing a horizontal surface upon which a vehicle occupant may rest their arm. It is often desirable thatfirst portion 14 of armrest 10 provide for a soft feel. - With continued reference to
FIG. 1 , and referring further toFIGS. 2 and 3 , the armrest 10 of the present invention includes arigid substrate member 16, aflexibly skin layer 18 and aresilient foam pad 20.Substrate member 16 comprises a generally planar substrate that forms at least a part of the structural support of the armrest 10 and includes a closeout ormoveable panel 22 integrally formed insubstrate member 16. For example,moveable panel 22 may be integrally molded intosubstrate member 22. As shown in the figures,moveable panel 22 is attached to thesubstrate member 16 alongliving hinge 24. Living hinge 24 permitsmoveable panel 22 to pivotally move abouthinge 24. Incorporating the closeout ormoveable panel 22 intosubstrate member 16 advantageously reduces the number of components in the armrest 10 and therefore reduces the overall cost of manufacturing. Thesubstrate member 16 is generally injection molded and formed from filled or unfilled polypropylene, thermoplastic olefin elastomers, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, styrene maleic anhydride, polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene alloy, or other suitable materials for forming therigid substrate member 16. -
Flexible skin layer 18 is disposed over at least a portion of thesubstrate member 16 and integrally coupled thereto. For example,flexible skin 18 may be integrally molded tosubstrate member 16 by a known process such as over molding. As best shown inFIG. 2 ,flexible skin layer 18 andsubstrate member 16 are configured so as to define acavity 26 having an opening 28 adjacentmoveable panel 22.Cavity 26 may be generally rectangular havingsubstrate member 16 bounding abottom surface 30 and theskin layer 18 bounding top andside surfaces moveable panel 22 is in the open position the opening 28 ofcavity 26 is accessible. Whenmoveable panel 22 is pivoted aboutliving hinge 24, opening 28 tocavity 26 may be closed or covered bymoveable panel 22.Moveable panel 22 may further include atab 36 andflexible skin layer 18 may further include arecess 38 such that whenmoveable panel 22 is moved to the closed position,tab 36 engagesrecess 38 to securemoveable panel 22 in the closed position.Flexible skin layer 18 is generally injection molded and may be formed from polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic olefin elastomers or other suitable materials for forming a flexible skin over thesubstrate member 16. - As shown in
FIGS. 3A-3D aresilient foam pad 20 is positioned incavity 26 so as to be between theflexible skin layer 18 and thesubstrate member 16 and to provide a soft feel to armrest 10.Foam pad 20 is insertable intocavity 26 throughopening 28.Foam pad 20 includes atop surface 42 and side surface 43 that abut the underside oftop surface 32 and side surface 34 respectively of theflexible skin layer 18, and abottom surface 44 that abuts thebottom wall 30 bounded bysubstrate member 16. When a load is applied to the top surface of the armrest 10, such as when an occupant rests his/her arm on the armrest, theflexible skin layer 18 and theresilient foam pad 20 deform thereby providing a soft feel to armrest 10.Foam pad 20 can be die-cut so as to conform to the geometric shape ofcavity 26 and may be formed from vinyl nitrile resins as well as one of the polymeric resins, such as EPDM, polypropylene, polyethylene or other suitable materials. - The present invention utilizes a
vacuum insertion tool 46 for insertingfoam pad 20 withincavity 26.FIGS. 3A-3D sequentially illustrate the insertion offoam pad 20 withincavity 26 using thevacuum insertion tool 46. As shown inFIGS. 3A-3D and 4, thevacuum insertion tool 46 comprises a generally thinplanar member 48 having achannel 50 formed therein. Advantageously, theplanar member 48 is substantially coextensive with thefoam pad 20 to be inserted intocavity 26, and thechannel 50 is substantially coextensive with theplanar member 48. One end 52 of thechannel 50 is fluidly coupled to avacuum pump 54 through, for example, a length oftubing 56. Atop surface 58 ofplanar member 48 includes a plurality ofapertures 60 therein and in fluid communication withchannel 50. In this way, whenvacuum pump 54 is energized, air is pulled throughapertures 58,channel 50 andtubing 56 towardvacuum pump 54. - To insert
foam pad 20 withincavity 26 using thevacuum insertion tool 46, themoveable panel 22 is moved to the open position so that thecavity opening 28 is accessible. Thefoam pad 20 is placed on thetop surface 58 ofplanar member 48 so that thebottom surface 44 of the foam pad abutstop surface 58, as shown inFIG. 3A . Thevacuum pump 54 is energized and air is pulled throughapertures 60 along thetop surface 58. The pressure differential between thetop surface 42 andbottom surface 44 offoam pad 20 causes thefoam pad 20 to be compressed in the downward direction thereby bringingtop surface 42 closer tobottom surface 44, as shown in dash inFIG. 3A .Foam pad 20 may be sufficiently dense such that the vacuum pulled alongbottom surface 44 causes thefoam pad 20 to compress in the downward direction, as opposed to just pulling air in freely throughtop surface 42 and side surfaces 43 offoam pad 20 without any compression. Alternatively,foam pad 20 may be covered or coated alongtop surface 42 and side surfaces 43 by a gas impermeable material so that the vacuum causes thefoam pad 20 to compress when pulled alongbottom surface 44. - The
vacuum insertion tool 46 carrying thefoam pad 20 in a compressed state is then inserted intocavity 26 throughopening 28, as shown inFIG. 3B . Whenfoam pad 20 is properly positioned insidecavity 26, thevacuum pump 54 is de-energized thereby releasing the vacuum along thebottom surface 44 offoam pad 20. Releasing the vacuum causes thefoam pad 20 to expand thereby snugly fillingcavity 26, as shown inFIG. 3C . Thevacuum insertion tool 46 is then removed from the cavity by slidingplanar member 48 alongsubstrate member 16 at thebottom surface 30 ofcavity 26. After removing thevacuum insertion tool 46 from withincavity 26,movable panel 22 is moved to the closed position so as to close off theopening 28 ofcavity 26 and secured in the closed position by, for example, engagingtab 36 inmovable panel 22 withrecess 38 in theflexible skin 18, as shown inFIG. 3D . The method of inserting thefoam pad 20 withincavity 26 usingvacuum insertion tool 46 as described herein is advantageous in that the pad carrier of previous armrests is completely eliminated thus reducing the number of components and consequently reducing cost of manufacturing the trim assembly. - While the interior trim assembly has been shown and described herein as an armrest 10, it will be recognized that the interior trim assembly of the present invention may alternatively be formed to create a door trim panel, an instrument panel, a console or other interior components of an automobile.
- While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of the various embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and methods and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the scope or spirit of Applicant's general inventive concept.
