Abstract
A method comprises the steps of: providing a cap-shaped body (2; 102), said body (2; 102) having a side wall (4) extending around an axis (Z) and a transverse wall (5; 105) arranged transversely to the axis (Z) for delimiting a concavity (7) of the body (2), the transverse wall (5; 105) having an inner face (8; 108) facing the concavity (7) and an outer face (9; 109) opposite the inner face (8; 108); placing a dose (43) of polymeric material on the outer face (9; 109) of the transverse wall (5; 105); compression moulding the dose (43) in contact with the outer face (9; 109), thereby obtaining a shaped element (3) from the dose (43), said shaped element (3) being attached to the transverse wall (5; 105).
Claims18
A method comprising the steps of:
- providing a cup-shaped body, said body having a side wall extending around an axis and a transverse wall arranged transversely to the axis for delimiting a concavity of the body, the transverse wall having an inner face facing the concavity and an outer face opposite the inner face;
- placing a dose of polymeric material onto the outer face of the transverse wall;
- compression moulding the dose in contact with the outer face thereby obtaining from the dose a shaped element attached to the transverse wall.
An apparatus for compression moulding a dose of polymeric material in contact with a cup-shaped body, said body having a side wall extending around an axis and a transverse wall arranged transversely to the axis for delimiting a concavity of the body, the transverse wall having an inner face facing the concavity and an outer face opposite the inner face, the apparatus comprising:
- a support element configured to be engaged with the inner face of the transverse wall so as to support the body while the dose is compression moulded;
- a male moulding element for shaping the dose in contact with said outer face, so as to obtain from the dose a shaped element attached to the transverse wall.
