A trim element for a vehicle element, where the trim element comprises a shell with an inner surface intended to be oriented towards the interior of the vehicle element and an outer surface intended to form a rear surface of the vehicle element, and a pocket fixed to the outer surface of the shell, where the pocket comprises a panel which has a lower and lateral edges and at least one stiffening element arranged in the lower and lateral edges. The shell further comprises at least one groove in which are housed at least one from the lateral edges and/or the lower edge of the panel for assembly of the panel with the shell.

Trim element for a vehicle element

A seat support element having an outer layer that includes an outer surface and an inner surface, a synthetic skin extending over the inner surface of the outer layer, and a first foam layer extending over the synthetic skin. A method of forming the seat support element includes the following steps: forming the outer layer by applying at least one layer of paint against a first forming surface of a forming tool, applying the synthetic skin against the inner surface of the outer layer, and applying the first foam layer against an inner surface of the synthetic skin.

Method for producing a seat support element

A vehicle seat backrest having a body, a cover layer designed to be placed at the back of the body and covering at least a portion of the body, a storage apparatus defining a storage volume over a portion of the cover layer, and a fixation device for attaching the storage apparatus onto the cover layer. The fixation device includes at least one fixation support and at least one pin. The cover layer is overmolded onto the at least one fixation support. The at least one pin mates with the at least one fixation support and the storage apparatus so as to attach the storage apparatus to the cover layer.

Vehicle seat backrest and associated manufacturing method

A back panel of a motor vehicle seat includes, on its visible external back side, a thermal layer.

Panel for a seat element

The present disclosure relates to an upholstery system for a vehicle seat, comprising: a foam lining comprising a front face and a rear face, a flexible covering which covers the front face of the foam lining, a rigid part which covers the rear face of the foam lining, at least one series of attachment systems, which are received as inserts in the foam lining, the attachment systems of the series being interconnected by at least one ball joint, and wherein the attachment systems are configured to ensure the attachment of the covering and of the rigid part onto the foam lining.

Seat upholstery system

A back panel of a motor vehicle seat element includes at least a first foam layer with at least two areas of different stiffness.

Back panel of a seat element

A back panel of a motor vehicle seat element successively includes a layer of paint, a layer of non-expanded foam, at least one thermal device, and a layer of expanded foam.

Seat element panel

A method of manufacturing a cover element for a motor vehicle comprises placing, in a mold, a stack formed at least of a covering material made of textile, of leather, of skin, or of a synthetic material, and of a foam layer at the rear surface of the covering material, the foam layer integrating reinforcing elements.

Forming of a cover element for a motor vehicle seat or the interior of a motor vehicle

The invention concerns a mold for forming an element for covering a lining of a seat member for a motor vehicle, comprising: a matrix () provided with ribs () for defining style extension lines (); and a punch () provided with ribs (), to either side of a line of the ribs () of the matrix ().

Forming of motor vehicle seat upholstery

A method for producing a cover element for upholstery of a motor vehicle seat element, includes at least one layer of foam and a cap made at least from a covering material. The forming of the cover element includes the steps of: placing the cap against a matrix defining the visible shape of the cover element, with the covering material on a side of the matrix; holding the cap pressed against the matrix by suction; placing the at least one layer of foam against a back of the covering material; and applying a forming punch defining a rear face of the cover element.

Method for forming motor vehicle seat uphosltery

An element of connection between a trim element of a motor vehicle seat element and a cover part, wherein the connection element has a profiled shape having, in cross-section a first jaw and a second jaw intended to pinch together an edge of the trim element and an edge of the cover part, the connection element being one piece.

Connection of a motor vehicle seat trim element to a cover part

The invention relates to the upholstery of a seat element for a motor vehicle and to the method of creating it, in which method a foam support block is produced to fit a frame element; a cover element is created by cold-forming a foam sprayed onto a polypropylene substrate and attached on the reverse side of a textile material in the form of a skin or synthetic material to define the visible shape of the seat element; and the cover element is attached to the support block.
