Abstract:
A method for producing an elongated, plate-shape lever for an automotive door checking device, in which an elongated sliding part is formed on at least one surface of said lever and at least said sliding part is formed by resin molding; said method comprising the molding steps of:preparing a split mold having a longitudinally extending mold cavity therin and a gate in flow communication with said mold cavity, said gate being positioned in a first of the two longitudinal ends of said mold cavity at the extreme end thereof;placing an elongated, plate-shape metal insert in said mold cavity so that the insert extends longitudinally in the mold cavity and a first end thereof is positioned opposite said gate;clamping said split mold;introducing a molten matrix resin containing reinforcing fibers into said mold cavity from said gate and flowing said matrix resin longitudinally along said mold cavity and said insert from said gate to a second end of said mold cavity remote from said gate to form said sliding part on said metal insert, said sliding part extending longitudinally along said metal insert in a sliding direction of said sliding part, being free of a weld line and having said reinforcing fibers one-dimensionally oriented therein along the length of said sliding part; andreleasing the resulting lever having said sliding part integrally formed over said metal insert from said split mold after solidification of said sliding part.
