The invention relates to a process for the production of a composite part with a multi-part outer layer and with a foam layer bonded on the reverse side to the outer layer, in particular internal cladding of a vehicle, and also to a composite part. The inventive process comprises the following steps: a) arrangement of a first skin and of a second skin with angled-off end regions on the surface of a mold in such a way that the angled-off end regions of the first and second skin have firstly been oriented away from the surface of the mold and secondly are adjacent to one another; b) application of a reduced pressure in the region of the position of the angled-off end regions, in such a way that the angled-off end regions are pressed two-dimensionally against one another; c) reverse-side foaming of the first and second skin with a foam composition. The inventive process permits the simple production of visually attractive composite parts with multi-part outer layer.

Process for the production of a composite part with multi-part outer layer, and composite part

A vehicle contains a vehicle body with two A pillars and two B pillars which bound a vehicle interior, and an instrument panel which is arranged in the interior between the A pillars. The instrument panel has an instrument panel reinforcement. The instrument panel reinforcement has at least one first section and/or one second section, and the first and/or second section extends/extend in each case transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at least over part of the instrument panel, beginning in each case on the outside of the instrument panel, in order to stiffen the instrument panel against a high force acting on the outsides of the instrument panel, for example against a force which is produced by a side impact. The contour of the instrument panel, including the instrument panel reinforcement, lies at least partially at a height between the A pillars and the B pillars at least in the region of the respective outside of the instrument panel. The instrument panel reinforcement is arranged in that region of the contour of the instrument panel which projects the furthest into the vehicle interior from the direction of the B pillars.

The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle for protecting vehicle occupants when there is an impact of energy directed laterally at a motor vehicle door due to a collision, having a connecting structure which has at least two parts with a first part permanently connected with the motor vehicle door and a second part permanently connected with an energy-absorbing region of the motor vehicle body located in the vehicle interior. Both parts via at least one common joint region can be operationally connected with each other to conducting-away of at least part of the energy input laterally acting on the motor vehicle door in the region of the motor vehicle body. The energy impact acting on the motor vehicle door is conducted away from the pivot bearing by a force acting linearly and horizontally via the first and the second part to the first end of the second part permanently connected with the motor vehicle body.

An interior panelling part for covering an airbag has a sheet-like support, a decorative layer and an intermediate layer arranged between the support and the decorative layer. A passage opening for the airbag is left open in the support. The intermediate layer comprises a mat which spans the passage opening and overlaps with the support outside the passage opening. The intermediate layer and/or the decorative layer is/are weakened longitudinally or offset parallel to an edge of the passage opening on just one side of the passage opening.

A device for protection against an impact includes at least one energy absorption body, which is arranged behind an interior car body component, so that a force (F) in effect during an impact is transferred from an exterior car body component through an opening of the interior car body component to the energy absorption body.

Device for protection against impact, motor vehicle pillar, and motor vehicle door

The invention relates to an energy absorption body with essentially in axial direction oriented side elements, whereby the side elements are convex, and with at least one energy absorption element, whereby the energy absorption element is located between the side elements, and whereby the energy absorption element is formed for absorption of a tensile force (F') which can be applied by the side elements on the energy absorption element, and for deformation upon a compressive force (F&#x2033;) applied in radial direction on one of the side elements.
