Rudi Farinon

Title: Rudi Farinon and Vehicle Interior Lining Innovation.

Introduction

Rudi Farinon is an inventor associated with Wetteren, Belgium, and Ascorium GmbH. His patent work concerns a method for producing lining parts, particularly for vehicle interiors.

Latest Patents

Farinon is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Producing a Lining Part for a Vehicle, and Lining Part Produced Using Said Method.” The invention describes positioning a support substrate opposite a flexible decorative layer, with a foam coating between them, to bond the layers together.

The method uses gas as a physical blowing agent to expand the raw foam compound. The expanded foam is applied to the decorative layer’s rear face, the substrate’s facing surface, or both. While the foam remains flowable, the substrate is positioned at a defined distance from the decorative layer. During positioning, some foam is displaced and plastically compressed, and the assembly is held until the foam has mostly cross-linked.

Career Highlights

Farinon’s documented patent contribution focuses on manufacturing vehicle interior lining parts. The described process combines a decorative surface, a supporting substrate, and an expanded foam layer in a controlled bonding operation.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Koen Vanlandschoot and Yvan Vanluchene as Farinon’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or the development of the method.

Conclusion

Rudi Farinon’s patent describes a foam-based process for bonding decorative layers to support substrates, contributing a defined manufacturing approach for vehicle interior lining parts.
