Abstract
A plastic component having a core that has a thermoset matrix and an add-on part anchored to the core. At least the securing region of the add-on part can be formed from a thermoplastic and is secured by the securing region to the core of the plastic component, the securing region being attached to the core or inserted or pressed into the core, bonding, in a fusible state produced by the application of energy, in particular by ultrasonic vibrations, with the core and being anchored thereto or therein after solidification, in particular, as a connection anchor.
Claims7
A plastics component with a core having:
- a thermoset matrix and with an add-on part anchored thereto,
- wherein the add-on part, at least in its anchoring region, is formed from a thermoplastic material and the anchoring region of the add-on part is secured to the core of the plastics component,
- wherein the anchoring region is pressed-in in the core, bonds to the thermoset matrix of the core in a fluid state created by means of an input of energy and in particular by ultrasound vibrations, and is anchored therein in the solidified state as a connection anchor,
- wherein the add-on part has at least one functional or attachment component which is formed from the thermoplastic material, and
- wherein the anchoring region of the add-on part has at least one depression which is inserted or pressed into the core.
