ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for making a surface-lined shaped article, particularly an interior facing member for a motor vehicle, such shaped article having a backing member which is heated in an undeformed state and then inserted into a temperature-adjusted die assembly in which a liner material is provided facing the finally visible surface of the backing member to which it is bonded as the backing member is being deformed or shaped. An object of the present invention is the provision of a method of the type defined above which permits a shaped article to have at least two surface areas thereof lined with different liner materials in a simple and economical manner. For attaining this object, the invention provides that the surface liner material is clamped in the die assembly in the form of at least two cuttings covering different areas of the backing member, and the backing member is brought into pressure contact with the clamped cuttings along at least one overlap or abutment line, or a connection line, respectively, by means of gripper elements acting from above and below, prior to the backing member being deformed together with the cuttings.
