Abstract

The disclosure concerns a foam body which is supported by an embedded reinforcing insert. The foam body may serve as a vehicle dashboard, or the like. The reinforcing insert includes harder parts in the form of straps around the ends of the insert and extending across the insert defining open areas and also plates having openings through them. The insert includes more yieldable parts comprised of textile-like material which extends over some of the open areas defined by the hard parts of the insert, but leaving still other open areas of the hard part uncovered. A skin layer over the exterior of the foam body extends into openings in the foam body which are defined at some of the open areas of the insert. The foam body also has recesses, and some of these recesses are at open areas of the insert.
