TWO-SHOT INJECTION MOLDED FLOOR TILE WITH VENT HOLE

摘要

A modular plastic floor tile (2301) has a body (2303) of a first polymer compound and at least one upper feature (106) overmolded onto an upper surface (2602) of the body (2303) from a second polymer compound which is injected from a gate (1902) adjacent the lower surface (2306) of the body (2303). At least one through-hole (602) communicates the gate (1902) to the upper feature (106). At least one vent hole (2402), spaced from the through-hole (602), communicates the upper feature (106) to the lower surface (2306) of the body (2303). The vent hole (2402) allows any gas in the polymer flow path to be displaced from the upper feature (106), thereby preventing or minimizing defects that can affect adhesion and appearance.
