ABSTRACT:
A contoured article having three dimensional surface effects is disclosed herein, such as a headliner or floor covering for a vehicle. The contour of the article and at least one three dimensional decorative surface are incorporated into the article during molding. The three dimensional surface preferably is an exact replica of the surface of a textile product. Further, the final article may be surface decorated, if desired. A process for producing a contoured article having a three dimensional decorative surface is also disclosed and claimed herein. The process involves the provision of a master mold, the cavities of which define both the contour and the three dimensional surface design. A foamable composition is cast into one section of the master mold after which the mold sections are brought into register while the composition is fused or cured in situ, conforming to the contour and three dimensional surface cavities of the mold. The foam article produced thus possesses the contour of the article with at least one surface displaying a three dimensional decorative effect. After removal from the mold, the article may be used as is, or may be further decorated as exemplified by the application of an adhesive to the three dimensional surface followed by flocking with textile fibers.
