Abstract

A trim part has a carrier part and a surface cover which is disposed on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface cover. The surface cover is made from an inherently stiff knitted fabric material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A trim part, comprising:
a carrier part; and a surface cover disposed on a side of the carrier part that faces the surface cover, wherein the surface cover is made of an inherently stiff knitted fabric material, wherein at least one fastening element is disposed on the surface cover, wherein at least one fixing element is disposed on the carrier part, and wherein the at least one fastening element of the surface cover is connected in a form-fitting manner to the at least one fixing element of the carrier part.

2 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the surface cover, at least in portions, is in physical contact with a surface of the side of the carrier part that is covered.

3 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
a securing device is disposed on the fixing element.

4 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one fastening element is integrally knitted into the surface cover.

5 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
a multiplicity of fastening elements are disposed on a surface of the surface cover that faces the carrier part, and a multiplicity of fixing elements are disposed on a surface of the side of the carrier part that faces the surface cover.

6 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the fastening elements are disposed only in a peripheral region of a surface of the surface cover that faces the carrier part, the peripheral region extending along a circumference of the surface cover.

7 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the fastening elements are disposed on a surface of the surface cover that faces the carrier part, the fastening elements being distributed across an entirety of the surface.

8 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the fastening elements are disposed on a surface of the surface cover that faces the carrier part, the fastening elements being disposed in a peripheral region of the surface cover, the peripheral region completely surrounding the surface cover or being formed only in regions.

9 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
after generating the surface cover, pre-existing fastening elements are sewn to the surface cover.

10 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the surface cover is configured with two layers comprising a layer of knitted fabric material on which an inherently stiff layer is disposed.

11 . The trim part according to claim 10 , wherein
the inherently stiff layer is translucent.

12 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one light source is provided on a side of the carrier part that faces away from the surface cover.

13 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
a material of the carrier part is opaque, and translucent perforations are provided in the carrier part.

14 . The trim part according to claim 1 , wherein
the surface cover is releasably connected to the carrier part.
