Abstract
A method includes molding a set of deflector plates in a first mold with a first material, removing the deflector plates from the mold, and placing the deflector plates in a second mold, molding a duct to the deflector plates in the second mold using a second material. The molding includes forming an engaging rim in the duct for connecting the duct to another duct, and removing the deflector plates and the duct from the second mold. The deflector plates pivot with respect to the duct when the molding of the duct is finished.
Claims12
A method comprising:
- molding a set of deflector plates in a first mold with a first material;
- removing the deflector plates from the mold;
- placing the deflector plates in a second mold;
- molding a duct to the deflector plates in the second mold using a second material, wherein the first material does not adhere to the second material, wherein the molding includes forming an engaging rim in the duct for connecting the duct to another duct;
- and
- removing the deflector plates and the duct from the second mold, wherein the deflector plates pivot with respect to the duct when the molding of the duct is finished.
A register comprising:
- a first deflector plate;
- a first duct for supporting the first deflector plate such that the first deflector plate pivots with respect to the first duct about an axis;
- a second deflector plate;
- and
- a second duct, which is separate from the first duct, for supporting the second deflector plate such that the second deflector plate pivots with respect to the second duct about an axis, wherein the axis about which the first deflector plate pivots is perpendicular to the axis about which the second deflector plate pivots, and wherein the first duct is connected to the second duct such that the register is unitary, and wherein the first and the second deflector plates are formed with a first material and the first and the second ducts are formed with a second material, and the melting point of the first material is higher than that of the second material.
