Abstract
An injection-molded component having a casing body of plastics material and a core which is made of a core material, in particular of a metal, which is at least partially received within the casing body and is at least partially insert-molded. The injection-molded component may in particular serve as a joint part of a joint. As a result of the preferably metallic core, the injection-molded component, despite comparatively small dimensioning, is capable of being comparatively highly stressed. By virtue of the casing body of plastics material, a minor actuation noise may be implemented for the joint, even without complex lubrication.
Claims5
A joint, comprising:
- an injection molded component including a casing body of plastics material and a core of a core material, which is at least partially received within the casing body and is at least partially insert-molded, wherein the core at two mutually opposite ends has in each case one retaining depression, wherein an external face of the casing body is configured as an anti-friction face;
- a joint component which is mounted around the external face so as to be movable on the external face of the injection-molded component.
A joint, comprising:
- an injection molded component including a casing body of plastics material and a core of a core material, which is at least partially received within the casing body and is at least partially insert-molded;
- wherein the casing body has an external contour which in terms of shape deviates from the external contour of the core, wherein the core has a cylindrical external contour, wherein the core at two mutually opposite ends has in each case one retaining depression, wherein the retaining depression is configured so as to taper off, wherein an external face of the casing body is configured as an anti-friction face;
- and
- a joint component which is mounted around the external face so as to be movable on the external face of the injection-molded component.
