Description

The invention relates to a bearing body for a device for laminating a decorative surface element onto a dimensionally stable component by means of a laminating membrane to which a vacuum is applied, the underside of the component resting against the top of the bearing body during lamination.

From the DE 10 2010 049 213 B3 A device for laminating a dimensionally stable component with a decorative surface element is known to the applicant. The decorative surface element is arranged between a housing, the opening on the underside of which is spanned with a lamination membrane, and the component. The housing is then slipped over the component arranged on a base body and the interior of the housing determined by the housing and the lamination membrane is initially subjected to pressure so that the lamination membrane rests tightly against the surface of the component. During the lamination, the lamination membrane is then subjected to a vacuum.

The DE 10 2009 047 987 B3 The applicant discloses a device for accurately positioned storage of dimensionally stable components that have an unevenly contoured underside, with a number of elongated contour elements being mounted parallel to one another in a horizontal frame that can be moved vertically up and down, each one on the unevenly contoured underside of the respective component have adapted contour edge. This makes it possible to temporarily store a large number of differently shaped components on the device.

The dimensionally stable components are, for example, vehicle components such as instrument panels that are laminated with a decorative surface element. The decorative surface element can consist of a textile or plastic material or of synthetic or natural leather.

Airbags are often integrated into such vehicle components. When arranging the vehicle components on the corresponding bearing body, shocks can hardly be avoided, which in extreme cases can lead to damage to the component and / or the airbags integrated into the components. In addition, separate bearing bodies are required, for example, for the instrument panels of right-hand drive vehicles and left-hand drive vehicles. This requires a corresponding storage effort.

The invention is based on the object of creating a bearing body of the type mentioned at the beginning with which the above-mentioned deficiencies are eliminated in a simple manner, i.e. on the upper side of which the respective dimensionally stable component to be concealed with a decorative surface element can be stored easily and safely temporarily.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1, i. solved in that at least one volume element with an element membrane is assigned to the upper side of the bearing body for adaptation to the lower side of the component.

The bearing body according to the invention has the advantage that the component with its unevenly contoured underside rests softly and securely on the activated element membrane of the at least one volume element, so that hard impacts, which can lead to damage to the component, are easily avoided.

After the lamination membrane is subjected to a vacuum during the lamination of the decorative surface element onto the dimensionally stable component, as cited in the introduction DE 10 2010 049 213 B3 is described, it can be preferred if the element membrane of the at least one volume element can be acted upon by the vacuum of the lamination membrane. Another possibility is that the element membrane of the at least one volume element can be acted upon with compressed air.

In order to be able to use one and the same bearing body according to the invention, for example for the instrument panel of a right-hand drive vehicle and for the instrument panel of a left-hand drive vehicle, it can be advantageous if the bearing body has at least two volume elements for reversed dimensionally stable components.

The respective volume element is preferably designed as a cassette with a cassette housing on which the associated cassette membrane is fixed.

The bearing body is designed with at least one upwardly open recess in which the associated cassette housing is arranged with its upwardly directed cassette membrane.

More details. Features and advantages emerge from the following description in conjunction with the attached drawing.

• 1 in einer schematischen Schnittdarstellung einen auf einem Grundkörper angeordneten Lagerkörper mit Volumenelementen, einem auf dem Lagerkörper temporär gelagerten formstabilen Bauteil sowie dem Dekorflächenelement und der davon beabstandet gezeichneten Kaschier-Membrane, wobei das Bauteil die Instrumententafel eines Linkslenker-Fahrzeugs bildet,
• 2 eine der 1 ähnliche Darstellung, wobei der Lagerkörper jedoch für die das formstabile Bauteil bildende Instrumententafel eines Rechtslenker-Fahrzeugs vorgesehen ist, und
• 3 eine der 1 ähnliche schematische Schnittdarstellung, wobei die Element-Membranen der Volumenelemente jedoch nicht mit Vakuum sondern mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden.

Show it:

• 1 in a schematic sectional view a bearing body with volume elements arranged on a base body, a dimensionally stable component temporarily mounted on the bearing body, and the decorative surface element and the liner membrane drawn at a distance therefrom, the component forming the instrument panel of a left-hand drive vehicle,
• 2 one of the 1 Similar representation, but the bearing body is provided for the instrument panel of a right-hand drive vehicle that forms the dimensionally stable component, and
• 3 one of the 1 Similar schematic sectional illustration, the element membranes of the volume elements, however, not being subjected to a vacuum but to compressed air.

1 shows a bearing body 10 for a dimensionally stable component 12 with a decorative surface element 14th , which in a manner known per se by means of a lamination membrane 16 is concealed. The lamination membrane 16 is from the bearing body 10 drawn spaced; the decorative surface element 14th is already on the component 12 laminated final state drawn.

The bearing body 10 is on a basic body 18th appropriate.

The dimensionally stable component 12 lies with its bottom 20th at the top 22nd of the bearing body 10 on. A supple, soft mounting of the dimensionally stable component 12 on the bearing body 10 to effect, the bearing body 10 at its top 22nd to adapt to the underside 20th of the component 12 Volume elements 24 in the form of a cassette with a cassette housing and an element membrane fixed thereon 26th on. The respective volume element 24 is with its cassette housing in a recess open on the top 28 of the bearing body 10 arranged.

To the element membrane 26th of the respective volume element 24 with the one on the lamination membrane 16 To be able to apply a vacuum that becomes effective is the bearing body 10 with vacuum channels 30th educated. Becomes the lamination membrane 16 during the lamination of the component 12 with the decorative surface element 14th When a vacuum is applied in a manner known per se, the element membrane is simultaneously 26th in the corresponding recess 28 of the bearing body 10 inflated so that they are at the bottom 20th of the dimensionally stable component 12 soft and supple.

2 differs from 1 only by the fact that the bearing body 10 according to 1 not for the dimensionally stable component 12 forming the instrument panel of a left-hand drive vehicle but for the dimensionally stable component 12 constituting instrument panel of a right-hand drive vehicle is provided. Same details are in 2 denoted by the same reference numerals as in 2 so there is no need in connection with 2 to describe all the details again in detail.

3 illustrated in one of the 1 corresponding representation a training of the bearing body 10 , which is from the bearing body according to the 1 and 2 only differs in that the element membrane 26th of the respective volume element 24 is not applied with vacuum but with compressed air. For this purpose it opens into the cassette housing of the respective volume element 24 instead of a vacuum channel, a compressed air channel 34 one.

Same details are also in 3 with the same reference numbers as in 1 and 2 so that it is unnecessary in connection with 3 to describe all the details again in detail.
