  • Publication number: 20150016144
    Abstract: A process for producing a multifunctional functional support in which operating elements or display elements are arranged. The process includes flexible transparent plastic film supplied from a roll; the flat plastic film is placed into an injection mold, and is backmolded to form a rigid support structure-on a first side, wherein in the region of the operating elements or display elements it remains exposed in the form of at least two clearances; on the second side the plastic film is flooded in the same injection mold with a transparent curing casting compound in an RIM process to form a transparent surface layer, membrane regions that are flexible at least in places being formed in the region of the clearances; operating elements or display elements are placed into the clearances and joined to the plastic support.

  • Publication number: 20060205176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a component, comprising a body (1), to which pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied, at least in sections. To produce the component (10, 20, 30), a pressure-sensitive adhesive base (6) is applied to the body (1). Said applied pressure-adhesive base (6) is at least partially cross-linked until it achieves a predetermined viscosity. The pressure-sensitive adhesive base (6) is preferably applied directly to the body (1). The component is cost-effective to produce, can be simply mounted and is extremely strong.

  • Publication number: 20060121251
    Abstract: The object (10, 10?) comprises a first layer (1), for example with a back injection of a second layer (2), whereby the first layer is plastically deformable and comprises a front face (1a) and a rear face (1b). The back injection of the first layer (1) takes place in an injection mould. Before the back injection, the first layer (1) is partly provided with a coating (4?) on the front face (1a) thereof and said coating is hardened. The first layer (1) is then placed in an injection mould (6). The first layer (1) is then back injected in the injection mould (6), thus forming the second layer (2), such that the first layer (1) is pressed with the front face (1a) thereof on an inner side (7) of the injection mould (6) and the hardened coating (4?) on the first layer (1) is deformed and at least partly pressed into the first layer (1). The coating (4?) is preferably applied by printing, for example by means of a screen printing method.
