A headliner assembly () includes a layer of core material (), a binding agent () adjacent to the core material (), a first layer of chopped fiberglass () adjacent to the binding agent (), a scrim () adjacent to the first layer of chopped fiberglass (), a catalyst () adjacent to the scrim (), a cover stock () adjacent to the catalyst (). The catalyst () and the binding agent () are mixed together and impregnate the core material when pressure is applied to the headliner assembly (), thereby resulting in a rigid headliner assembly. A method of forming the headliner assembly () is also disclosed.

Laminated headliner assembly and method for forming a lightweight laminated headliner

A method of manufacturing a headliner assembly for use in the interior compartment of an automotive vehicle comprising the steps of: placing a mold release film onto a concave mold surface of a lower mold assembly for providing a barrier against the mold surface; placing a fiber mat on the mold release film; applying a foamable material directly onto the fiber mat; expanding the foamable material around the fiber mat to embed the fiber mat therein; placing an adhesive film onto a convex mold surface of an upper mold assembly; positioning the lower mold assembly directly beneath the upper mold assembly; moving the upper mold assembly in mating engagement with the lower mold assembly to define a mold cavity between the convex mold surface and concave mold surface; curing the foamable material within the mold cavity; and bonding the mold release film and adhesive film to the foamable material with the fiber mat embedded therebetween. A layer of scrim is then adhered to the mold release film and a layer of fabric is adhered to the adhesive film for providing a decorative cover to the headliner assembly.

Headliner having integrated energy absorbing foam

Method of making a headliner having integrated energy absorbing foam

A headliner assembly for lining a passenger compartment ceiling of a motor vehicle comprising a headliner cover having an exterior surface presenting a major exterior appearance of the headliner assembly and an opposite interior surface, and a body of foamed material adhered to the opposite interior surface of the headliner cover and having central portions thereof with a greater thickness than peripheral portions thereof, the body of foamed material being of generally constant density throughout its extent including the central and peripheral portions thereof.
