Abstract
A process for producing interior vehicular trim, comprising covering the surface of a substrate to which a nap-raised ornamental member, and removing the synthetic resin surface material at the part thereof covering the nap-raised ornamental member and along the weld line. The synthetic resin surface material is welded and melt-cut on the peripheral edge of the ornamental member by carrying out the welding while the synthetic resin surface material is lifted up by force from the surface of the nap-raised ornamental member over the part thereof covering the ornmental member. An apparatus for producing interior vehicular trim, comprises an upper platen disposed to oppose matchably to a lower platen for supporting the substrate to which the nap-raised ornamental member has been partly applied, to effect welding of the synthetic resin surface material which was applied over the surface of the substrate, the welding being carried out along the peripheral edge of the ornamental member. The portion of the synthetic resin surface material covering the nap-raised ornamental member is removed by melt-cutting it along the welded line. A lift-up arrangement provided for lifting up the syntheti…
