Claims
- 1. Apparatus for manufacturing a film laminated plastic molding having a fold around at least one edge and including a foam padding, wherein the film is first molded into its intended final form and melt of material forming a plastic support is applied only thereafter to the already molded film and its fold and is allowed to solidify there, comprising:
- a matrix in which a mold cavity is formed which partially imitates the intended final shape to which said plastic molding is to be manufactured;
- means for laying down the film inserted into said mold cavity onto the wall of said mold cavity;
- at least one outer slide having an inner edge which reproduces an outer half of said at least one edge of said plastic molding which is to be manufactured;
- at least one nozzle via which the melt of the material forming the plastic support can be applied to the film;
- a compression molding apparatus for pressing the melt into a fold of the film and forming the plastic support into its intended final shape; and
- an injection needle transported into said mold cavity, whereby gas under pressure can be supplied to the foam padding which has been applied to the film.
- 2. Apparatus for manufacturing a film laminated plastic molding having a fold around at least one edge and including a foam padding, wherein the film is first molded into its intended final form and a melt of material forming a plastic support is applied only thereafter to the already molded film and its fold and is allowed to solidify there, comprising:
- a matrix in which a mold cavity is formed which partially imitates the intended final shape to which said plastic molding is to be manufactured;
- means for laying down the film inserted into said mold cavity onto the wall of said mold cavity;
- at least one outer slide having an inner edge which reproduces an outer half of at leasst one edge of said plastic molding which is to be manufactured;
- at least one nozzle via which the melt of the material forming the plastic support can be applied to the film;
- a compression molding apparatus for pressing the melt into a fold of the film and forming the plastic support into its intended final shape; and
- a heating apparatus arranged for heating said at least one edge of the film disposed to project over said mold cavity of said matrix.
- 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:
- at least one inner slide, an outer edge of said inner slide reproducing an inner half of the at least one edge of said plastic molding to be manufactured, said inner slide being movable laterally from an inside position to be against the projecting edge of the film.
- 4. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein:
- said means for laying down of the film onto said mold cavity includes a vacuum apparatus comprising channels which open out into said mold cavity.
- 5. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein:
- said vacuum apparatus communicates with an area of the film fold via vertical and horizontal parting surfaces between said at least one outer slide, said at least one inner slide, and parts adjacent thereto.
- 6. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein:
- said heating apparatus is formed as a movable heating frame comprising a heating coil which may be brought into a position parallel to an inner surface of a film edge which projects over said mold cavity.
- 7. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein:
- said outer slide may be moved by at least one pilot pin fixed diagonally at a first angle to a vertically moving press top part and penetrating a correspondingly oriented through bore formed in said outer slide.
- 8. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein:
- the lateral motion of the inner slide is accompanied by a motion directed perpendicular to the inner slide on to a free edge of the film edge.
- 9. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein:
- said at least one nozzle is heated and controlled needle nozzle.
- 10. The apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:
- a mold ring; and
- a pressure plate arranged movably in a recess of the mold ring, whereby the mold ring is movable and defines part of the shape of the plastic molding to be completed with its outer surface facing the mold recess.
- 11. The apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:
- a) a punch provided to be driven through a base of the mold cavity into the mold cavity, which outlines a shape of a separation edge; and
- b) a pressure plate which forms a multiplicity of protruding lugs parallel to path of motion of the punch and against which the punch may be laid,
- wherein the film laminated plastic molding includes several fields which are separated from one another by separation seams.
- 12. The apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:
- a laterally movable slide which defines with an area of its outer contour a hook-like projection which serves for clipping of the plastic molding.
- 13. The apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising:
- at least one ejector, transportable vertically with the laterally movable slide.
- 14. The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein:
- the laterally movable slide includes a punch which is introduced into a part which may essentially be moved vertically such that the vertical motion of this part is converted into a lateral movement of the slide.
- 15. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
- a heating apparatus arranged for heating said at least one edge of the film disposed to project over said mold cavity of said matrix.
