Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 Indicates the relative positioning between the headliner trim (1) and the light-tight rear side panel trim (3), for which the intermediate fastening element (5) according to the invention can be used. The rear side panel trim (3) is attached with one of its ends to the end of the headliner trim (1), which thus defines a joint or covering area for covering. exist figure 1 Above, the middleware (5) is shown with dashed lines. The headliner (1) trim end (39) is likewise shown in dashed lines as it goes under the rigid trim (3). The end (35) of the rigid trim (3) forms the visible joining line between the two trims. This connection area is defined as the partially overlapping area of ​​the two trims (1, 3), thus the area between their respective ends (39, 35). According to the invention, once the upholstery (1, 3) is in place, the middle piece (5) is completely concealed from the user's perspective. As one will see, this middle piece extends below the connecti...

Abstract

The invention relates to an intermediate part (5) for attaching rigid trimming to a vehicle structure, said rigid trimming being assembled at one of the ends thereof to a second flexible trimming which the former covers, thus defining a junction area, said intermediate part (5) having means for attaching to the structure of the vehicle, and means (21) for attaching to the rigid trimming, characterized in that the part is sized so as to extend under the junction area between the two trimmings such that the second flexible trimming is arranged between said intermediate part (5) and the rigid trimming once assembled, and in that the part further has a means (10) for aligning the second flexible trimming with the rigid trimming.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is within the scope of automotive interior skins. More precisely, the invention is within the scope of the placement and fixing of automotive interiors. In particular, the invention relates to the fixation of two interior trim elements and their relative positioning. Background technique [0002] Automobiles, such as passenger cars, typically have a flexible trim panel made of fabric or a rigid trim panel made of plastic as an interior trim or trim. For aesthetic reasons, the trim should be able to be fastened to the vehicle structure without the fastening means used being seen by the user. Furthermore, its positioning should be accurate for safety reasons, since, for example, the action of side airbags may be restricted due to poor positioning of the interior trim. Finally, for quality reasons perceived by the user, the gap between the different trim pieces should ideally be zero or at least constant, and the different artifac...
