Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing a plastic molding having a web of material as a covering, comprising:
- providing a plurality of relatively movable mold parts having an open position defining an open mold cavity for receiving a plasticized resin composition in its plasticized state and a closed position for compacting the composition in the mold cavity to shape the plastic molding, the mold cavity in the closed position having first and second portions, the second portion extending in at least one direction from the first portion and being thinner than the first portion;
- feeding a plasticized resin composition in its plasticized state into the open mold cavity defined between the relatively movable mold parts;
- placing the web in the cavity with the resin composition at one side of the web;
- the web being longer in at least one dimension than the plastic molding to be molded so that the web has a protrusion beyond at least one edge of the plastic molding, the web being placed in the cavity so that the protrusion is located to be in the second portion of the mold cavity;
- closing the relatively movable mold parts over the resin composition to compact the composition between the mold parts and also against the web of material in the mold cavity to shape the plastic molding in the first portion of the mold cavity, and to form a skin of the resin on the protrusion at the same side of the web as the resin composition;
- turning over and wrapping the protrusion of the web with the skin on it around the respective edge of the molding and welding the protrusion and the skin to the respective edge or the rear of the plastic molding by subjecting both the skin on the protrusion and the edge or the rear of the molding to which the skin is to be welded to a heat treatment in the region of the wrap over, then turning the protrusion and the skin over the molding and then heat welding the skin to the edge or rear of the molding.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the web is of such a size and shape and so placed in the mold that there is protrusion of the web beyond more than one edge of the resin molding, the plastic composition is compression molded to the protrusion at least in regions beyond the more than one edge of the plastic molding and the protrusion is wrapped around and turned over the more than one edge of the plastic molding and welded to those edges or the rear of the molding.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the protrusion is turned around and wrapped around the edge of the molding after the resin composition has been hardened.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the web of material is a web of decorative material for application to the exterior surface of the plastic molding.
