20120156442, Jun 21, 2012

Filed:

Dec 15, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/326462

Inventors:

David Reeder - Grand Blanc MI, US

International Classification:

B32B 3/00
B05D 3/10

US Classification:

4281951, 427404

Abstract:

Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Select regions of the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. One or more metallized surface regions are formed on a first injection-molded polymer that is metal-platable and one or more colored surface regions defined by a second injection-molded polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided. A third polymer is optionally provided that comprises an injection-molded transparent polymer. The third layer protects and optionally encapsulates the underlying first and second polymers from exposure to an external environment.

International Classification:

B23B 3/00
B05D 1/00

US Classification:

4281951, 427322

Abstract:

Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is resistant to metallization. The second resin defines one or more colored surface regions and may have one or more surface topcoats. The surface topcoat may be a transparent protective coating or a colored paint. Select regions corresponding to the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided.

David Reeder - Grand Blanc MI, US

International Classification:

B32B 3/00
B32B 38/08
B32B 37/24

US Classification:

4281951, 156242, 156150

Abstract:

Metallized multi-component polymeric assemblies are formed by methods provided, including injection molding a first resin to form a first sub-component comprising a metal-platable polymer and injection molding second and third colored resins via a multi-shot injection molding process to form second sub-component having a second and third polymer. Select regions corresponding to the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. The second and third polymers preferably have distinct colors from one another. The first and second sub-components are assembled and coupled together to form a decorative polymeric component assembly that is visible to an external environment.

US Classification:

428172, 428209, 264129, 216 95, 205120

Abstract:

Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Select regions corresponding to the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. Further, one or more interface regions between the first metal-platable polymer and the second colored polymer can be concealed from a visible direction. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided.

Assignee:

Toyota Technical Center U.S.A., Inc. - Ann Arbor MI

International Classification:

A47K 109

US Classification:

2483112

Abstract:

A cup holder for holding receptacles such as cans, bottles and the like includes a housing and a pair of receptacle holding rings rotatably mounted on the housing for movement in different planes between a retracted position in which the holding rings are located in the interior of the housing and an extended position in which the holding rings extend out of the housing. A closure element is also provided for closing the open front of the housing when the receptacle holding rings are in the retracted position. The receptacle holding rings are provided with engaging elements that engage one another when the receptacle holding rings are in the extended position. The engaging elements define a predefined stop position for the two rings in the extended position. Additionally, tabs are provided on one of the rings to prevent the rings from crossing over one another.
