Abstract:
A monolithic injection molded plastic part including an interior core, a surface formed as a monolithic structure with the interior core, and a distribution of hollow cells formed within the interior core during an injection molding process from a blowing agent and methods for making the same are provided. Such methods include preparing a mixture of unmelted plastic resin, filler agent, and blowing agent, melting the mixture into a viscous combination using a standard injection molding machine, injecting a set amount of the viscous combination into a hollow cavity of an injection mold secured within the standard injection molding machine, and holding the set amount of the viscous combination in the hollow cavity at a low pressure for a hold time until the viscous combination sets into a monolithic structure at least partially filling the hollow cavity and the blowing agent forms a distribution of hollow cells throughout the monolithic structure.

Claim (Index 27):
A monolithic injection molded foamed plastic part comprising:\n an interior core with a center and an outer surface, the outer surface and the interior core together comprising a monolithic structure, the outer surface defining a volume that is substantially filled by the interior core, wherein the molded foamed plastic part results from an injection of plastic polymer material together with a chemical blowing agent and contains a distribution of hollow cells within the interior core of the foamed plastic part, and wherein the hollow cells are dispersed throughout the entirety of the interior core from a center to the surface and the distribution of the hollow cells resembles a cross-section of a bone with smaller sized hollow cells being more highly concentrated closer to the outer surface than at the center, and with larger sized hollow cells being more highly concentrated closer to the center of the interior core than near the outer surface.
