  • Blow molded assembly with an attachment fastener portion, and method thereof
    Patent number: 8920901
    Abstract: A blow molded assembly includes an attachment fastener portion integrated with a plastic component portion, and is formed by a blow molding process. The attachment fastener portion has a shaft and a base, where the base has at least one aperture and a bearing surface. The shaft extends from the bearing surface. The at least one aperture is configured to allow plastic for the plastic component portion to flow sufficiently through the base during the blow molding process such that the attachment fastener portion and the plastic component portion are integrated. The base of the attachment fastener portion may be substantially embedded within the plastic component portion. The shaft of the attachment fastener portion may be configured to receive a matable fastener such that the blow molded assembly may be attached to a structure. To accomplish this, the shaft may be threaded.
