Abstract
An interior trim component, such as a headliner, includes a decorative covering, a substrate and a piece of a material, such as foam material, placed between the decorative covering and the substrate. After the molding process, the piece of material expands due to its resiliency to form a raised relief in the decorative covering, thereby providing a headliner with an embellished appearance. The method of manufacturing the embossed headliner requires no special tooling and is very cost effective.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application 60/521,401, filed on Apr. 19, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates in general to an interior trim component and in particular to an embossed headliner with raised indicia.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Currently, headliners are very plain in appearance. Thus, there is a need to provide a low cost effective method of enhancing the appearance of a conventional headliner.
- The inventor has recognized these and other problems associated with conventional headliners and has developed a low cost effective method of enhancing the appearance of a conventional headliner.
- According to the invention, a headliner comprises a decorative covering, a substrate, and a piece of material placed between the decorative covering and the substrate, wherein the piece of material provides a raised relief in the decorative covering, thereby providing an embossed appearance to the headliner.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a method comprises the steps of:
-
- placing a substrate onto a mold tool;
- placing a piece of material at a desired location on the substrate;
- placing a decorative covering on the substrate and the piece of material; and
- bonding the decorative covering to the substrate in a mold tool,
- whereby the piece of material provides a raised relief in the decorative covering, thereby providing an embossed appearance to the headliner.
- In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of an embossed headliner and the method of making same according to an embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the embossed headliner according to the invention. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , aninterior trim component 10, such as a headliner, is shown according to an embodiment of the invention. Although theheadliner 10 may include other layers of material, theheadliner 10 in the illustrated embodiment includes asubstrate 12 and adecorative covering 14. In addition, theheadliner 10 of the invention includes a piece ofmaterial 16 placed between thesubstrate 12 and thedecorative covering 14. - The
substrate 12 is made of a polyurethane composite material and has a thickness of between about 3 mm and 14 mm. Thedecorative covering 14 is made of a material, such as fabric with or without a foam backing, a knit material, a non-woven material, or the like. For example, thedecorative covering 14 may have a thickness of about 4 mm. The decorative covering 14 forms what is commonly known as a Class “A” surface of theheadliner 10. - One aspect of the invention is that the piece of
material 16 can be formed to any desirable contour, such as a logo, a symbol, an emblem, or other indicia. The piece ofmaterial 16 can be cut or trimmed to the desired shape by water jet, steel rule die, or any other commonly known process. The material properties of the piece ofmaterial 16, such as hardness, thickness, resiliency, or the like, can vary depending on the desired finished appearance of theheadliner 10. For example, the piece ofmaterial 16 may comprise a foam material having a thickness of between about 4 mm and 20 mm. - A method of manufacturing the
headliner 10 will now be described. First, thesubstrate 12 is placed on amold tool 18. Next, the piece ofmaterial 16 is placed at a desired location on thesubstrate 12. Then, thedecorative covering 14 is placed on thesubstrate 12 and the piece ofmaterial 16 and the bonding operation is performed. After theheadliner 10 is demolded from themold tool 18, the piece ofmaterial 16 expands due to its resiliency and produces a raised relief in thedecorative covering 14 with soft edges creating an embellished appearance to theheadliner 10, as shown inFIG. 2 . - As described above, the invention provides a cost effective method of manufacturing an interior trim component, such as a headliner, with an embellished appearance because the only additional tooling required is the tooling to cut the piece of material into the desired shape.
- While the invention has been specifically described in connection with certain specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that this is by way of illustration and not of limitation, and the scope of the appended claims should be construed as broadly as the prior art will permit.
Claims (2)
1. A headliner, comprising:
a decorative covering;
a substrate; and
a piece of material placed between the decorative covering and the substrate,
wherein the piece of material provides a raised relief in the decorative covering, thereby providing an embossed appearance to the headliner.
2. A method, comprising the steps of:
placing a substrate onto a mold tool;
placing a piece of material at a desired location on the substrate;
placing a decorative covering on the substrate and the piece of material; and
