Patent ID: 8850760

Claim:
A method of forming an overmolded seal on a peripheral part of a glazed element, said method comprising: positioning the peripheral part of the glazed element in a mold, which includes a moving mold part and an other mold part, together with an insert such that, after the moving mold part is closed onto the other mold part to form a molding cavity: a projecting portion of the insert is positioned in a housing formed in the moving mold part that is separated from the molding cavity, a tab of the insert is positioned against a surface of the peripheral part of the glazed element in the molding cavity to displace a baseplate of the insert away from the surface of the peripheral part of the glazed element, and one or more pins of the mold are aligned with one or more positioning guides of the baseplate; injecting plastic into the molding cavity to form the overmolded seal, to embed the baseplate in the plastic of the overmolded seal, and to secure the insert to the peripheral part of the glazed element by the overmolded seal without embedding the projecting portion in the plastic; releasing the overmolded seal from the mold by moving the moving mold part along a mold-release axis that is oriented differently to a long axis of the projecting portion.
