Claim:
A method for making a reception assembly comprising the steps of obtaining a first biodegradable portion; obtaining a second biodegradable portion; selecting a certain first surface portion of said first biodegradable portion in which to form a first pocket; selecting a second surface portion of said second biodegradable portion in which to form a second pocket; placing a first material upon said first and second surface portions; placing said first and said second portions on a surface while causing said first and said second portions to only abut at respective third and fourth surfaces; placing a reinforcement material upon said previously deposited first material; placing said first material along a first face of said first biodegradable portion; placing said first material along a first face of said second biodegradable portion; obtaining a male tool; simultaneously heating said male tool and pressing said heated male tool onto each of said first and second surface portions, thereby simultaneously forming pockets within said first and second surface portions while simultaneously causing said reinforced material to adhere within said pockets and simultaneously heating said first material respectively residing on said first face; retracting said male tool; contacting said first face of said first biodegradable portion to said first face of said second biodegradable portion, thereby, causing said respective first faces to be coupled by the coupling of said respective heated material residing on said respective first faces; and causing said formed reinforced pockets to communicate when said respective first faces are coupled, thereby, causing said respective reinforced pockets to cooperatively form a single pocket and thereby forming a reception assembly.
