Patent ID: 7922227

Claim:
A soft trim for a motor vehicle component, comprising: a soft outer skin which defines an outer show face and an inner face; and a plurality of protrusions which are integral with the outer skin, such that each of the plurality of protrusions and the outer skin are formed of a single piece of the same material, and are to rest on a frame supporting the component, each protrusion extending from the inner face, the protrusions delimiting between them spaces for deformation of the trim in order to confer thereon its flexibility, the trim being deformable to the touch, wherein the angle formed by the axis of each protrusion and an axis orthogonal to the directrix surface of the outer skin, taken at the base of the protrusion, is less than 30° , and the soft trim has a first region having a plurality of protrusions parallel to a first axis, and at least one second region having a plurality of protrusions parallel to a second axis which is inclined relative to the first axis, wherein the ratio of the thickness of the skin, taken orthogonally to the inner face, to the thickness of each protrusion, taken along the inner face, is greater than 2, and wherein the ratio of the thickness of the skin to the minimum distance separating each pair of facing protrusions, taken along the inner face, is greater than 0.3.
