    Abstract: A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a composite structure comprising a cover structure comprising a cover base, a cover layer and a cover surface. The cover structure may provide a user interface comprising an input device. The cover layer may cover at least a portion of the cover base. The cover base may comprise a core and a perimeter. The cover layer may deform between the core and the perimeter. The core may provide the cover surface for the input device. The cover layer may be softer than the cover base. The cover layer may be molded on the cover base. The cover layer may comprise a projection fit within a recess in the cover base. The cover surface may comprise a surface of the core projecting above a surface of the cover layer. The cover structure may comprise a decorative layer on the cover layer.

    Abstract: An automobile interior trim includes an interior trim body including a designed surface and a back surface thereof and attached to a vehicle body panel, a strap attached to the back surface of the interior trim body, a metal clip attached to the distal end of the strap, and a rib in a form of standing up from the back surface of the interior trim body. A part included in the metal clip and positioned on the distal end side of the metal clip is formed as pinching portions capable of being opened and closed. The rib functions so as to temporarily hold the metal clip by being pinched by the pinching portions of the metal clip.

    Abstract: A decorative work piece or component, such as a decorative automotive trim component, and method for plating a work piece is provided. An electroless layer of material is applied to the work piece using an electroless plating process. A barrier in electrical conductivity is provided on the work piece to divide the work piece into a first segment and a second segment which are substantially electrically insulated from one another, prior to electroplating the work piece. A plurality of methods are disclosed for dividing the work piece into the first and second segments. The component includes different surface finishes on each of the electrically isolated segments, with the finishes having different appearance, gloss level, color, and/or distinction of image as a result of electroplating and without post-electroplating mechanical alteration and assembly.
