Abstract
Methods (processes) are employed for forming a pan with an attached gasket, from universal pans and gaskets. These universal pans and gaskets are attached to each other and cut to a desired shape, resulting in a faceplate.
Claims25
A process for forming a faceplate member, comprising:
- providing a pan blank;
- providing a gasket blank;
- attaching the gasket blank to the pan blank to form a subassembly;
- and
- cutting the subassembly to form a unitary pan and gasket member with substantially coincident peripheral edges.
2 more elements
A faceplate subassembly, comprising:
- a pan blank of a first predetermined configuration;
- a gasket blank of a second predetermined configuration;
- and
- the pan blank attached to the gasket blank such that upon trimming the subassembly into a third predetermined configuration, different than the first predetermined configuration and the second predetermined configuration, the peripheral edges of the gasket blank are substantially coincident with the peripheral edges of the pan blank.
