Injection molded assembly and method of joining injection molded parts

A method for assembling injection molded parts, the method comprising:

• injection molding a first part with a plurality of first fingers extending from a surface of a first bonding area;
• injection molding a second part with a plurality of second fingers extending from a surface of a second bonding area;
• placing adhesive tape in an unstretched condition across a top surface of either the plurality of first fingers or the plurality of second fingers;
• and
• pressing the plurality of first fingers and the plurality of second fingers into engagement with the adhesive tape disposed therebetween including stretching the adhesive tape to a stretched condition under tensile stress into a plurality of first valleys corresponding to the plurality of first fingers and a plurality of second valleys corresponding to the plurality of second fingers to assemble the first injection molded part and second injection molded part together, wherein the adhesive tape in the stretched condition has a greater surface area compared to the adhesive tape in the unstretched condition to enhance engagement with the surfaces of the first and second bonding areas including the plurality of first fingers and the plurality of second fingers to increase bonding strength.
