Estimating the term…
A molding tool and method for producing an interior trim part. A cavity is embodied between a first element and a second element, and a slide is displaceably connected to the first element. A decorative layer is arranged on the first element and a backing is arranged on the second element. A foamable mixture is added to the hollow area between the backing and a reverse side of the decorative layer, such that a foam layer fills the hollow area. A distance between the first element and the second element is increased to enlarge the hollow area. During this process, the slide is pressed against a side facing away from the reverse side of the decorative layer, such that the hollow area is sealed with the reverse side of the decorative layer pressed against a lateral surface of the backing and/or against a lateral surface of the second element.
A method for producing an interior trim part of a vehicle, the method comprising:
A molding tool for producing an interior trim part of a vehicle having a decorative skin, a backing, and a foam layer arranged between the decorative skin and the backing, comprising a first molding tool element and a second molding tool element, wherein a cavity is formed between the first molding tool element and the second molding tool element, wherein the backing may be arranged on the second molding tool element and the visible side of the decorative skin may be arranged on the first molding tool element such that a hollow area is formed between the backing and a reverse side of the decorative skin, wherein a foamable mixture may be added to the hollow area, and wherein the second molding tool element may be moved relative to the first molding tool element such that the hollow area may be enlarged prior to and/or during a foaming process of the foamable mixture, characterized by at least one slide that is displaceably connected to the first molding tool element, wherein the slide is set up to press against a side facing away from the reverse side of the decorative skin during a movement of the second molding tool element relative to the first molding tool element such that the hollow area is sealed in that the reverse side of the decorative skin is pressed against a lateral surface of the backing and/or against a lateral surface of the second molding tool element.
