Abstract

An interior finishing component, in particular an interior paneling part for a motor vehicle, has a basic body with a foam material and a reinforcing insert within the basic body. For simple fastening of the interior finishing component to the motor vehicle, it is provided that the foam material of the basic body comprises a flexible soft foam part, that at least two reinforcing inserts which are situated at a spacing distance from each other are arranged within the basic body, and that the interior finishing component has at least one engage-behind element for its fastening to the motor vehicle.

Claims (19)

1 . An interior finishing component for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a basic body formed with a flexible soft foam part of foam material;

at least two reinforcing inserts disposed within said basic body at a spacing distance from one another; and

at least one engage-behind element for fastening the finishing component to the motor vehicle.

2 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein the entire said basic body is a soft foam part.

3 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said soft foam part is produced from a visco-elastic soft foam.

4 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said foam material is polyurethane foam.

5 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said reinforcing inserts are formed of a harder foam material than the foam material of said basic body.

6 . The interior finishing component according to claim 5 , wherein said reinforcing inserts are produced from a polystyrene foam.

7 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said reinforcing inserts have mutually facing side surfaces formed with bevels.

8 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said engage-behind element is fastened to said basic body.

9 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , which further comprises a flexurally stiff film applied to said basic body, at least in some regions thereof.

10 . The interior finishing component according to claim 9 , wherein said flexurally stiff film protrudes over said basic body with at least one extension, and said extension forms said engage-behind element.

11 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said engage-behind element is hook-shaped.

12 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , wherein said engage-behind element has a rectilinear configuration.

13 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , which further comprises a decorative layer on a paneling side of the component facing a vehicle interior.

14 . The interior finishing component according to claim 13 , which further comprises a flexurally stiff film applied to said basic body, at least in some regions thereof, and wherein said decorative layer is fixed on said flexurally stiff film.

15 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 , which further comprises a flexurally stiff film adhesively bonded onto said basic body.

16 . The interior finishing component according to claim 1 configured as an interior paneling part of the motor vehicle.
