A vehicle trim element having at least one functional component and at least one aerator of the vehicle compartment. The aerator includes at least one duct for conveying a gas flow defining an opening for diffusing the gas flow, the conveying duct extending in a main direction. The aerator is arranged to diffuse a gas flow in the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a diffusion direction in which the gas flow is diffused and which is variable by Coanda effect, between a first diffusion direction and a second diffusion direction that is different from the first diffusion direction. The opening for diffusing the gas flow extends around the periphery of at least one portion of the functional component.

Vehicle trim component comprising a functional element and an aerator

The invention relates to an assembly part for connecting a dashboard to a body part of a vehicle, the assembly part comprising:

Assembly part for connecting a dashboard to a body part of a vehicle

A trim element that includes a supporting element having a main surface extending between two opposite edges, a lining layer covering the main surface and the edges of the supporting layer, and a skin surrounding the lining layer. At least one of the edges includes a reinforcing element movably mounted relative to the supporting element between a retracted position and a deployed position wherein at least one portion of the reinforcing element protects from the main surface in such a way as to reduce the length of the portion of the reinforcing element extending in relation to the main surface, the projecting portion being surrounded by the lining layer.

Vehicle trim element and manufacturing method thereof

An assembly having a cover, adapted for closing an aperture of a storage volume, and a flap moveable between a storage position and a use position outside the storage volume. The assembly includes a connection between the cover and the flap. Movement of the flap causes a displacement of the cover towards a position in which the aperture is open.

Vehicle trim element and an associated display system

A vehicle interior trim element has at least one substrate layer covered with a skin having an outer surface containing a plurality of asperities, regularly distributed on the outer surface. The outer surface of the skin defines an outer surface of the trim element that is visible within the vehicle interior. The trim element may be processed by applying a heat source on part of the outer surface forming a decorative area, the application of the heat source being arranged to at least reduce the height of the asperities in the decorative areas such that the decorative area has a different appearance from the rest of the outer surface.

Method for producing a trim element having a decorative area with a particular appearance

A trim element is provided. The trim element includes an upper surface extending between a front edge and a rear edge, a holder is arranged on the upper surface and a flap. The flap is rotatably movable around an axis (A) of rotation between a retracted position, in which the flap extends substantially parallel to the upper surface, and an upright position, in which the flap forms a non-zero angle with the upper surface. The flap includes a front edge and a rear edge. The axis of rotation (A) of the flap extends near the rear edge of the flap. The flap pivots towards the rear edge of the upper surface between its retracted position and its upright position. A motor vehicle dashboard is also provided.

Automobile trim element including a holder for a portable electronic device

An opening/closing device includes a bistable device having a fixed member () delimiting one side of an opening providing access to a compartment, and a flexible mobile member (), articulated on the fixed member proximate the ends of the access opening. The fixed and mobile members () delimit jointly the entire access opening, and the mobile member () has two stable positions, one wherein it is adjacent to the fixed member (), the other wherein only its ends are adjacent to the fixed member (). The mobile member () is elongated and has naturally two stable positions with opposite convexities. The invention is applicable to vehicle passenger compartments.

Bistable opening/closing device, and storage compartment comprising same

A dashboard is made that presents a cover for an air bag protection system, the cover being invisible from the outside and being defined by an inside line of weakness in the wall of the dashboard, the line of weakness defining an opening for the air bag. A layer of hard plastics material is injected molded; the line of weakness is cut locally inside the wall; the outside of the plastics layer is covered with a decorative covering; a tab with a hinge for hinging the cover is fastened to the cover; the reinforcing frame is fastened to the plastics layer, and prior to welding, it is ensured that a vibratory discontinuity exists between the frame and the tab so that during welding some of the vibration generated is absorbed away from the line of weakness; and the tab is fastened to the reinforcing frame.
