A panel (16) for use in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The panel (16) includes a unitary integral one-piece flexible member (e.g., coverstock) (26) having a first portion (36) with a first ornamental appearance and a second portion (38) with a second ornamental appearance, a substrate (28) at least partially molded behind the flexible member (26). The demarcation (40) between the first portion (26) and the second portion (38) is located in a recess (30) formed when the substrate (28) is molded. The method of forming a panel also includes moving the first mold section (44) toward the second mold section (46) so that the projection (50) pushes a portion of the flexible member (26) at least partially into the recess (30), and injecting a polymer resin between the flexible member (26) and the first mold section (44) so that the demarcation (40) is located in the recess.
L'invention concerne un panneau (16) destiné à l'intérieur d'un véhicule. Ce panneau (16) comprend un élément flexible unitaire formé d'un seul tenant (p. ex. un matériau d'enveloppe) (26) comprenant une première partie (36) présentant un premier aspect esthétique, et une seconde partie (38) présentant un second aspect esthétique, et un substrat (28) moulé au moins partiellement sur l'arrière de l'élément flexible (26). La démarcation (40) entre la première partie (26) et la seconde partie (38), est placée dans un renfoncement (30) formé lors du moulage du substrat (28). Le procédé permettant de former ce panneau consiste notamment à mouvoir la première section (44) du moule en direction de la seconde section (46) du moule, de telle manière que la protubérance (50) pousse une partie de l'élément flexible (26) au moins partiellement dans le renfoncement (30), et à injecter une résine polymère entre l'élément flexible (26) et la première section (44) du moule, de telle manière que la démarcation (40) est placé à l'intérieur du renfoncement.
