Patent ID: 7943072

Claim:
A method for producing a resin molded article comprising: molding a long primary molded article so that at least one busbar is at least partly incorporated in the primary molded article to extend substantially along a longitudinal direction of the primary molded article and so that at least one rib extends substantially in the longitudinal direction on a surface of the primary molded article but not a terminal surface where one portion of the busbar is drawn out, the molding of the primary molded article being carried so that the rib has at least one first section with a first projecting height and a plurality of second sections with second projecting heights less than the first projecting height; setting the primary molded article in a molding die so that the surface with the rib is substantially adjacent to a surface facing a gate in the molding die; and supporting the primary molded article with first and second supports projecting from a cavity inner surface of the molding die and extending along the longitudinal direction so that the first and second supports engage the first section of the rib and so that the inner surface of the molding die is spaced from the second sections of the rib; and forming a secondary molded portion integrally on at least one outer surface of the primary molded article by insert molding including injecting resin transverse to the longitudinal direction at a location substantially aligned with the supports.
