Patent number: 6221304Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a film coated article by placing a pre-molded film into a loading station. The film has a decorative surface and a backing surface. The decorative surface is positioned juxtaposed the loading station. The film is transferred to a loader. The loader is positioned juxtaposed the backing surface. The loader and film are positioned in an open mold press between a cavity and a core. The film is transferred from the loader to the cavity. The decorative surface of the film is positioned juxtaposed the cavity. The cavity mates with the film and retains the film in position during the molding operation. The press is closed and a polymeric material is injected against the backing surface of the film. The polymeric material produces a molded article having a rigid substrate fused to the backing of the film and displaying the decorative surface. The press is opened and the molded article is transferred from the cavity to an unloader.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1997Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark Alan Harris, Zinoviy Chernyak

Patent number: 6143227Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a film-covered flange having the following steps. An injection molding press having a mold cavity and a core receives a pre-molded thermoformed film. The film is formed to have an in-turned flange portion that will form the covering for the final article. The film is placed within the mold cavity. The core has a slide movable between retracted and extended positions. The slide is retracted and the core is moved within the mold cavity. After the press is closed the slide is moved from the retracted position to the extended position. The slide includes a recessed portion that lies opposite the flange portion to create a space therebetween. A molten plastic material is injected into the space. The plastic material adheres to the flange portion and forms an article having a covered flange.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1997Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James Heiden, Mark Alan Harris, Dale Moore, Zinoviy Chernyak
