Abstract
A method for producing a functional element of an automobile that can be folded and/or wound up, having the steps of providing a fabric that can be folded and/or wound up, arranging the fabric on an application table or in a casting tool in a level arrangement and molding at least one edge strip made of a polyurethane material to the fabric under atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, a wind deflector element of an automobile is provided to a roller blind panel of an automobile, each comprising a fabric that can be folded and/or wound up and that is provided with an edge strip made of a polyurethane material and forming an edge reinforcement.

A method for producing a functional element of an automobile that can be folded or wound up, comprising the steps of:
- providing a fabric that can be folded or wound up;
- arranging the fabric on an application table in a level arrangement;
- molding at least one edge strip made of a polyurethane material to a level surface of the fabric under atmospheric pressure:
- wherein the edge strip is formed by a dispensing head which applies the polyurethane material onto the fabric in a controlled manner;
- and
- wherein the dispensing head, by means of which the edge strip is formed, is connected to a movement controller which defines a path of movement of the dispensing head during formation of the edge strip.

- providing a fabric that can be folded or wound up;
- arranging the fabric on an application table in a level arrangement;
- molding at least one edge strip made of a polyurethane material to the fabric under atmospheric pressure:
- wherein the edge strip is formed by a dispensing head which applies the polyurethane material onto the fabric in a controlled manner;
- and
- wherein the dispensing head, by means of which the edge strip is formed, is connected to a movement controller which defines a path of movement of the dispensing head during formation of the edge strip,
- wherein the functional element that can be folded or wound up is a wind deflector element having zones of different hardness by forming the edge strip with a beading made of a hard component on each of a lower edge and an upper edge of the edge strip and a soft component connecting the upper edge and the lower edge.
