  • Patent number: 12570055
    Abstract: A method of forming a shaped article wherein said article comprises at least two parts which are chemically bonded, the method comprising: assembling at least two non chemically bonded parts in a weld cavity of a tool to form an assembly of the at least two parts, wherein said weld cavity is adapted to receive the assembly of at least two parts in the form of the shaped article; sealing the weld cavity of the tool; melting the assembly of at least two parts to chemically bond the at least two parts together to form the shaped article, wherein the shape of the weld cavity is matched to the outer circumference of the assembly of parts such that thermal expansion forces the polymer parts against the weld cavity surface and the pressure leads to full surface bonds between all parts, and wherein the tool forming the weld cavity comprises two halves forming a piston which fits into the bore of a bolster component and the plane of the split line between the two piston halves is parallel to the axis of the bore such
