Patent 7858013 was granted and assigned to Suzuki Motor Corporation on December, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Die assembly (21, 22), which includes slide die halves (23, 24) and can define a primary molding section (21a, 22a) and a secondary molding section (22b, 23b) adjacent to the primary molding section according to the positions of the slide die halves, are used. After a preformed film (10) is inserted into the primary molding section, a first resin material has been injected into the primary molding section so as to mold a first part (11), and then a second resin material is injected into a secondary molding section (22b, 23b and 23a, 24a) including a part of the surface of the film of the first part as a joint surface (10a), by which a second part (12a, 12) that is joined to the first part via the joint surface is molded.
