Abstract: An apparatus for the manufacture of goods wherein a component of such goods comprises a softgoods fabricated from a natural or synthetic fabric-like component, such as leather, nylon or urethane, and a component thereof that is injection molded relative to the fabric-like component resulting in the formation of an essentially complete, permanent and uniform seal therebetween. This improvement in the manufacturing process is the result, in part, of the modification of the apparatus used in such manufacture by providing an improved masking system for the precision application of an adhesive to a delimited area of the softgoods.
