Abstract
A double-walled thermoplastic article includes a double-walled body having inner and outer walls and an insert having visible portions and recessed runner sections. The body includes an insert portion in which its inner and outer walls are contiguous. The insert is attached to the body insert portion such that the visible portions of the insert are exposed and the runner sections are embedded within the insert portion. The article can be produced by a double-walled blow molding process.
Claims32
A thermoplastic article of double-walled construction comprising:
- a double-walled body formed of a thermoplastic material and having outer and inner walls, said body including an insert portion;
- and
- an insert having outer surfaces defining two or more visible portions, and runner sections which connect said visible portions and are recessed from said insert outer surface;
- said insert being attached to said body insert portion such that said insert visible portions are exposed and visible through said body outer wall such that said visible portions are visible from a single vantage point from which said body outer wall is also visible, and said runner sections are embedded in said body insert portion.
A thermoplastic article of double-walled construction comprising:
- a double-walled body formed of a thermoplastic material and having outer and inner walls, said body including an insert portion, said body being a cover for a carrying case;
- an insert having outer surfaces defining two or more visible portions, and runner sections which connect said visible portions and are recessed from said insert outer surface;
- said insert being attached to said body insert portion such that said insert outer surface is exposed and said runner sections are embedded in said body insert portion;
- and
- a container member pivotally interconnected with said body and moveable to a closed position in which said body inner surface and said container member define a containing cavity.
A thermoplastic article of double-walled construction comprising:
- a double-walled body formed of a thermoplastic material and having outer and inner walls, said body including an insert portion;
- and
- an insert having outer surfaces defining one or more visible portions and an embeddable section which is recessed from said insert outer surface;
- said insert being attached to said body insert portion such that said insert visible portions are exposed and visible through said body outer wall such that both of said visible portions are visible from a single vantage point in which said body outer wall is also visible, and said embedded section is embedded in said body insert portion.
A thermoplastic article of double-walled construction comprising:
- a double-walled body formed of a first thermoplastic material and having outer and inner walls, said body including an insert portion;
- and
- an insert formed of a second thermoplastic material and having outer surfaces defining two or more visible portions, and runner sections which connect said visible portions and are recessed from said insert outer surface;
- said insert being attached to said body insert portion such that said insert outer surface is exposed and said runner sections are embedded in said body insert portion;
- said second thermoplastic material having sufficient thermal resistance and structural rigidity to maintain its shape when exposed to said first thermoplastic material as said first thermoplastic material is in a molten state.
