Method for manufacturing an interior component for vehicles

1 . A method for manufacturing of an interior component for a vehicle, comprising:

arranging a heating element in an injection mold and the heating element including a first surface opposite a second surface and a terminal plug configured for at least one of controlling and power supply is disposed on the heating element;

injecting a plastic melt into the injection mold in order to produce a base body on whose surface the first surface of the heating element is disposed, the injection mold including a hold-down device that is configured to hold down the terminal plug during the injecting;

removing the base body with the heating element from the injection mold after the plastic melt has solidified; and

applying a cladding to the second surface of the heating element and at least a part of the surface of the base body to clad at least the part of the surface of the base body and the heating element,

wherein the terminal plug and the heating element are back-injected together with the plastic melt during the injecting.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injecting the plastic melt is a single injection process.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the injecting the plastic melt, the heating element is fixed in the injection mold.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the injecting the plastic melt, the first surface is covered by the plastic melt and the second surface remains substantially free of the plastic melt.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein after the applying the cladding, the second surface is facing the cladding and is in direct contact with the cladding.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal plug and the heating element are back-injected with the plastic melt such that the terminal plug is only partially surrounded by the plastic melt.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heating element is connected by a guide element with the terminal plug, and during the injecting the plastic melt, the heating element and the guide element are back-injected together with the plastic melt such that at least a part of a conductor element and the terminal plug are not surrounded by the plastic melt.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein after the applying the cladding, the heating element and at least a part of the conductor element are disposed between the cladding and the base body.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold in order to produce the base body on whose surface the first surface of the heating element is disposed further comprises:

injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold such that the surface of the base body is flush with the second surface of the heating element.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold in order to produce the base body on whose surface the first surface of the heating element is disposed further comprises:

injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold such that the surface of the base body frames the heating element and the second surface of the heating element is visible.

11 . A method for manufacturing of an interior component for a vehicle, comprising:

arranging a heating element in an injection mold, the heating element including a first surface opposite a second surface and a terminal plug disposed on the heating element;

injecting a plastic melt into the injection mold in order to produce a base body having a surface, with the first surface of the heating element disposed on the surface and the second surface of the heating element framed by the surface, the injection mold including a hold-down device that is configured to hold down the terminal plug during the injecting;

removing the base body with the heating element from the injection mold after the plastic melt has solidified; and

applying a cladding to the second surface of the heating element and at least a part of the surface of the base body to clad at least the part of the surface of the base body and the heating element,

wherein the terminal plug and the heating element are back-injected together with the plastic melt during the injecting.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the injecting the plastic melt is a single injection process.

13 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein before the injecting the plastic melt, the heating element is fixed in the injection mold.

14 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein during the injecting the plastic melt, the first surface is covered by the plastic melt and the second surface remains substantially free of the plastic melt.

15 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein after the applying the cladding, the second surface is facing the cladding and is in direct contact with the cladding.

16 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the terminal plug and the heating element are back-injected with the plastic melt such that the terminal plug is only partially surrounded by the plastic melt.

17 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the heating element is connected by a guide element with the terminal plug, and during the injecting the plastic melt, the heating element and the guide element are back-injected together with the plastic melt such that at least a part of a conductor element and the terminal plug are not surrounded by the plastic melt.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein after the applying the cladding, the heating element and at least a part of the conductor element are disposed between the cladding and the base body.

19 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold in order to produce the base body having the surface further comprises:

injecting the plastic melt into the injection mold such that the surface of the base body is flush with the second surface of the heating element.
