Abstract: Methods for manufacturing panel units may include applying a cover tape to a surface of a panel in such a way as to substantially extend along a periphery of the panel. An extrusion molding die may be moved relative to the panel in such a way that the extrusion molding die moves along the periphery of the panel while at least partially contacting the cover tape applied to the panel. At the same time, a molten molding material may be extruded from the extrusion molding die, thereby integrally forming a molded article on the periphery of the panel. The cover tape may be then removed from the surface of the panel in order to produce a panel unit having the molded article disposed along the periphery of the panel.

Abstract: A molded product includes a matrix formed of a polymer material and a plurality of capsules dispersed in the matrix. An unevenness is formed on a surface due to expansion of the capsules. Some of the capsules have expanded without bursting and include an exposed outer shell portion that protrudes from a surface, and/or some of the capsules have burst and include an outer shell protruding portion that protrudes outward from the surface. Finish processing is performed, which eliminates the outer shell protruding portions and/or the exposed outer shell portions from the surface. This results in a molded product in which a color difference due to frequency of contacting an object, etc. is not easily generated.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a panel unit having a curved panel and a directly extruded molding. The peripheral edge of the curved panel is moved relative to an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die and a resin molding material is simultaneously extruded directly onto a peripheral edge of the curved panel. While extruding the molding material, the peripheral edge of the curved panel is tilted in response to movement of the curved panel relative to the extrusion port in order to maintain a constant angle between the peripheral edge of the curved panel and the extrusion port.

Abstract: Methods for preparing a panel unit having a panel and a frame in which a first molding piece is formed by engaging an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die with a peripheral edge of the panel and extruding an extruded molding material along the peripheral edge of the panel. The extruded molding material preferably simultaneously bonds to the peripheral edge. Waste pieces may be eliminated from the first molding piece after bonding the first molding piece to the peripheral edge and the frame may be completed by adding an additional molding piece to provide a continuously formed frame around the peripheral edge. The first molding piece may be formed by continuously moving the peripheral edge relative to the extrusion port in a predetermined orbital path. The peripheral edge of the panel may be subjected to a primer treatment before engaging the extrusion port.

Abstract: A windshield molding which is installable in the space between a windshield and a periphery of a window opening of a vehicle body panel. The windshield molding includes a pair of extruded side molding parts, a pair of extruded corner molding parts, and an extruded upper molding part integral with and extending between the side and corner molding parts. Each of the side molding parts associated with each side edge of the windshield is greater in thickness as compared with the upper end corner molding parts, where a water drain channel is formed. A windshield molding is also provided which drains rainwater smoothly through the rainwater groove provided at necessary sections and having a different depth in the longitudinal direction for better drainage which can be produced simply and continuously as a single molding without the addition of cutting or other processes.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing the molding 1 comprising a forming process of preparing a molded material 100 which is used as a core metal 10 and has a uniform sectional configuration by forming a material of the core metal 10 into a predetermined configuration; a cut-off process of cutting off a part of the molded material 100 to prepare the core metal 10 whose sectional configuration is varied; and an extrusion process of variably extruding the synthetic resin 19 onto a surface of the core metal 10 by moving a movable die 41 according to the sectional configuration of the core metal 10, using an extruding die body 40 and the movable die 41 installed on the die body 40. According to this method, the adherence of the synthetic resin to the core metal can be reliably accomplished, and thus the molding-manufacturing method having a high productivity can be provided.

Abstract: A flange of a panel is inserted into an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die through an insertion slit, which opens laterally of the extrusion port, to thereby form a molding space that corresponds to a trim member between the extrusion port and the flange. A material for forming the trim member is extruded forwardly of the extrusion port through the molding space. The die and the flange are moved relative to each other while adjusting the insertion depth of the flange into the extrusion port so that the distance between a reference on the panel and the trim member is maintained at a desired distance. Thus, a trim member is extrusion molded on the edge of the flange of the panel and is mounted thereon simultaneously, thereby accurately mounting the trim member on the in a desired outer shape.
