TWO-SHOT TUBE RETENTION POCKET TUBE CLAMP, MOLD AND PROCESS

摘要

A first shot body member includes a pair of side walls, a semi-circular sleeve positioned between the pair of side walls to define a portion of a longitudinal pocket, and a pair of deflecting wings. Each deflecting wing is coupled to one of the side walls at a corner. A second shot isolation member of an elastically resilient second material is bonded to portions of an interior surface of the longitudinal pocket defined by each of: the semi-circular sleeve, each of the pair of side walls, each of the pair of corners, and each of the pair of wings. Mold members can include supporting surfaces to support interior and exterior portions of the wing during the second shot molding operation, while leaving an exposed interior bonding surface that defines a portion of the second shot molding cavity. Related methods are further disclosed.

1. A tube retention fastener, comprising:
a body of a first polymeric material, the body including:
a pair of side walls;a semi-circular sleeve positioned between the pair of side walls to define a portion of a longitudinal pocket;a pair of deflecting wings, each of the pair of deflecting wings being coupled to one of the pair of side walls at one of a pair of corners, respectively, each deflecting wing extending toward a central plane passing through a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal pocket in a non-deflected position;wherein the pair of side walls, the semi-circular sleeve, the pair of corners, and the pair of deflecting wings together define an interior surface of the longitudinal pocket; an isolation member of an elastically resilient second material bonded to portions of an interior surface of the longitudinal pocket defined by each of: the semi-circular sleeve, each of the pair of side walls, each of the pair of corners, and each of the pair of deflecting wings.
