Abstract
A method of forming an interior element for an automotive vehicle, the interior element including a covering member and a substrate, comprising the steps of preparing a covering member for the interior element and an air-permeable substrate of a predetermined three-dimensional shape for the interior element, the covering member including a sheet of covering material and a cushioned padding, the covering sheet laminated with the cushioned padding; placing the substrate on a support for receiving and supporting the substrate thereon, the support having ventilating holes; putting the covering member, with the cushioned padding thereof facing the substrate, on a surface of the substrate carried on the support; applying vacuum to the substrate through the ventilating holes of the support to draw the covering member onto the substrate; causing a cover frame to be operatively combined with the support in a manner to contain the covering member and the substrate carried on the support; and applying compressed-air onto both surfaces of the interior element to bond the covering member onto the substrate. Also, an apparatus for forming an interior element for an automotive vehicle is disclosed.
