Abstract:
A process for insert molding at least a portion of a flexible webbing material within at least a portion of a plastic injection molded part comprising the steps of:providing a predetermined amount of flexible webbing material with at least a portion of the material to be embedded within a plastic injection molded part; positioning the flexible webbing material with respect to an open plastic injection molding die defining a chamber for receiving molten plastic during an injection molding step, the chamber defined by the die having surfaces for forming the contour of the front surface of the part to be injection molded and another portion of the chamber having surfaces defining a rear surface of the part to be injection molded, the chamber formed by at least two separable portions of the die movable away from one another along a parting line; and sealing the chamber along the parting line where the flexible webbing material extends internally within the chamber with a high temperature resistant material selected to have sufficient flexibility to prevent damage to the flexible webbing material during the sealing step.
