20130005927 | METHOD OF FORMING THERMOPLASTIC ARTICLE - A method of forming a thermoplastic article, comprises steps of a) positioning at least one preheated first component being hollow and having at least one open end in two co-operating first mould halves; b) extruding a blow-mouldable thermoplastic material into the first component and closing the mould halves; and c) blowing the blow-moldable thermoplastic material inside the mould halves to form an article on which the first component is fixedly engaged. The method is simple in implementation, low in cost and easy in modification, and by which a thermoplastic article of varied colors, patterns, materials, and/or functional components being fixedly mounted on its outer surface could be realized. | 01-03-2013 |
