Abstract

The present invention relates to a vehicle interior trim part with a first part and a second part which is fastened thereto, wherein the first and the second part have different coefficients of length expansion with respect to at least one influencing variable.

Claims (17)

1. A vehicle interior trim part comprising:

a first lining part having a first contact surface and a second lining part having a second contact surface, wherein the first contact surface faces the second lining part and the second contact surface faces the first lining part, the first contact surface is fastened to the second contact surface, and the first lining part and the second lining part have different coefficients of linear expansion with respect to at least one influencing variable;

wherein the first contact surface is on a first elastic region of the first lining part or the second contact surface is on a second elastic region of the second lining part.

2. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second elastic region is elastically deformable in a bonding plane between the first and second contact surfaces.

3. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second elastic region has an elastic layer.

4. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second elastic region includes at least one finger extending radially outward along the respective contact surface.

5. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the first or second elastic region decreases toward an edge of the first or second elastic region.

6. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first or second elastic region is hollow.

7. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second lining part has at least two elastic regions which point in different spatial directions.

8. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first or second elastic region has relieving clearances.

9. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second lining part is a plastic injection-molded part having an injection opening that is part of the first or second elastic region.

10. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second lining part has an extensible element and/or a resilient element.

11. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lining part or the second lining part comprises a fastening device.

12. The vehicle interior trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lining part is formed from a natural material, a plastic, or a combination thereof.

13. The vehicle trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface are bonded via an injection in-mold lamination.

14. The vehicle trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface are bonded via an adhesive bond.

15. The vehicle trim part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first contact surface is on the first elastic region of the first lining part, and the second contact surface is on the second elastic region of the second lining part.
