  • Publication number: 20090320297
    Abstract: The grip (1) according to the invention has a rigid frame (3) for providing a dedicated shape, which allows manufacturing complex three-dimensional shapes. The grip further comprises a flexible skin (5) having an outer surface and being attached to the frame at its periphery, a lid being attached to the frame at its periphery and a chamber being enclosed by the skin and the lid, and substantially filled with a formable material. These features enable an optional design freedom in the shape of the grip. This invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the grip.

  • Publication number: 20090263095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for integrating a light guide (1) in or onto a support structure (3), wherein said parts (1,3) are molded and wherein during this molding and/or a subsequent cooling down process, shrink behavior of the respective parts (1,3) is controlled in such way that both parts (1,3) shrink incompatibly, at least temporarily and at least near their bordering areas, thereby causing the parts (1,3) to be separated and an air gap (10) to be formed between their respective separation surfaces. Separation of the parts (1,3) can be promoted by making the parts of materials having incompatible melting points and/or incompatible chemical bonding properties. Incompatible shrinkage can be stimulated by appropriate parts design, by applying materials having incompatible shrink behavior and/or by exposing the parts to different molding and cooling down conditions. The invention furthermore relates to a support structure with light guide and a device comprising such a support structure.
