Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/081394
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process for in-molding an energy-absorbing countermeasure to a headliner 18 for use in a vehicle, plus the intermediate and final assemblies formed by the process. The process includes the steps of (1) preparing a sheet; (1A) optionally affixing to the sheet a means for adhering to form a composite sheet; (2) thermoforming the composite sheet into a composite energy-absorbing countermeasure; (3) preparing a headliner layup (including optionally a means for adhering, a headliner core, and a cover stock) before forming a bond between the headliner layup and the composite energy-absorbing countermeasure. The assembly thus includes the energy-absorbing countermeasure 22 and a means for adhering it to the headliner core 18.
