  • Patent number: 8313683
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic laminated article comprising a surface layer of a sheet-like surface member and a synthetic resin backing material layer laminated on the surface layer, without causing a fracture or a reduction in wall thickness of the sheet-like surface member. When the male mold is pressed against the contact area of the sheet-like surface member, the temperature of the contact area of the sheet-like surface member gradually falls due to a thermal gradient between the male mold and the contact area of the sheet-like surface member. Simultaneously, the contact area of the sheet-like surface member is not heated directly. In addition, the direction of jet flow of a hot fluid is changed, by fluid guide surfaces, from the center of the sheet-like surface member to the outer periphery, of the sheet-like surface member.

  • Publication number: 20050093192
    Abstract: A foamed molding includes a skin layer formed by cooling and solidifying a foamable synthetic resin that has been injected into a cavity and a foamed layer formed within the skin layer by foaming the foamable synthetic resin after the skin layer has been formed, wherein a rod-like connector section that connects together parts of the skin layer that correspond to each other is formed integrally with the skin layer, the foamed layer being interposed between the parts of the skin layer. It is thereby possible to maintain the product dimensions even when the foamable synthetic resin foams further after molding in the mold device is completed.

  • Patent number: 6861133
    Abstract: A composite molding is formed by welding and joining a foam to a substrate made of a synthetic resin, the foam including a hard skin layer and a foamed layer formed by foaming a foamable synthetic resin in an unhardened state within the skin layer as the pressure of a cavity is decreased, wherein the skin layer includes a cover covering the foamed layer and a collar projecting outward from the edge of the cover on the substrate side while being directly welded and joined to the surface of the substrate. Therefore, the edge of the skin layer on the substrate side can be adequately hardened, thereby enabling adequate formation of the foamed layer and adequate welding between the foam and the substrate.
