Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing decorative parts with a rear plastic carrier element, which is poured over with plastic under process pressure in a casting tool for producing an upper layer on a front visible side, characterized in that the carrier element is fixed in the casting tool and is impinged upon with pressure at least during the production of the upper layer at the rear and in the direction of the upper layer that is to be produced on the front visible side, said pressure counteracting the process pressure during the overmolding with plastic.
Claims9
A method for producing decorative parts with a rear plastic carrier element which is overmolded in a casting tool for producing an upper layer on a front, visible side with a plastic under process pressure, characterized by:
- providing a casting tool for producing decorative parts with a rear plastic carrier element which is overmolded in the casting tool to produce an upper layer on a front, visible side with a plastic under process pressure, the rear plastic carrier element having an initial form;
- fixing the rear plastic carrier element in the casting tool;
- and
- loading by pressure the rear plastic carrier element at least during the production of the upper layer on the rear plastic carrier element and in the direction of the upper layer to be produced on the front, visible side, the pressure counteracting the process pressure during the overmolding with the plastic, and preventing the curving of the rear plastic carrier element which retains its initial form, and
- wherein the pressure is produced by compressed gas, which is pressed into a cavity between an upper tool and the rear plastic carrier element, wherein the compressed gas is in direct contact with the rear plastic carrier;
- and wherein the pressure has a maximum pressure that is greater than or equal to a maximum pressure of the process pressure.
