Abstract
A method for manufacturing a weighted mounting platform, the method including: of a first injection moldable material, injection molding a substantially rigid body structure further comprising a substantially central hub with a plurality of legs projecting therefrom and an enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of at least two or more of the plurality of legs distal from the hub; of a second injection moldable material, injection molding a flexible skin covering at least a portion of the body structure between each enlarged mass and the central hub; and subsequent to the injection molding a flexible skin, freeing the enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of at least two or more of the plurality of legs for motion relative to the central hub.
Claims18
A method for manufacturing a weighted mounting platform, the method comprising:
- forming a body structure of an injection moldable material, the forming a body structure further comprising forming a hub with a plurality of legs projecting therefrom and an enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of one or more of the legs distal from the hub;
- substantially covering at least a portion of the body structure between the enlarged mass and the hub with a flexible skin of an injection moldable material;
- and further comprising, subsequent to the substantially covering at least a portion of the body structure between the enlarged mass and the hub with a flexible skin of an injection moldable material, intentionally breaking one or more of the plurality of legs within respective portions of the flexible skin of elastomeric material.
A method for manufacturing a weighted mounting platform, the method comprising:
- of a first injection moldable material, injection molding a substantially rigid body structure further comprising a substantially central hub with a plurality of legs projecting therefrom and an enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of at least two or more of the plurality of legs distal from the hub;
- of a second injection moldable material, injection molding a flexible skin covering at least a portion of the body structure between each enlarged mass and the central hub;
- and subsequent to the injection molding a flexible skin, freeing the enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of at least two or more of the plurality of legs for motion relative to the central hub by intentionally breaking one or more of the plurality of legs within respective portions of the flexible skin of elastomeric material.
A method for manufacturing a weighted mounting platform, the method comprising:
- of a first injection moldable plastic material, injection molding a substantially rigid body structure further comprising a substantially central hub with a plurality of legs projecting substantially radially therefrom and an enlarged mass positioned adjacent to an end portion of each of the plurality of legs distal from the hub, the enlarged masses each further comprising a base surface thereof substantially coplanar with a base surface of the central hub;
- at least partially encasing a heavy mass within each of the enlarged masses;
- of a second injection moldable material, injection molding a substantially integral flexible sheath covering at least a portion of each of the enlarged masses of the body structure, each of the plurality of legs between each enlarged mass and the central hub, and at least a base and side portions of the central hub;
- subsequent to the injection molding the flexible sheath, intentionally breaking at least two or more of the plurality of legs within the flexible sheath.
