PLASTIC FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR BEARING WEIGHT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY

摘要

A plastic frame assembly ( 10 ) for bearing weight and a method of assembling same, comprising a plastic support member ( 12 ) having a bottom portion ( 14 ) and a top portion ( 16 ). The bottom portion ( 14 ) has a channel ( 18 ), a plastic-affiliating migratory securing adhesive ( 20 ), and a flexible porous membrane ( 22 ). The plastic affiliating migratory securing adhesive ( 20 ) is applied to the channel ( 18 ) and the flexible porous membrane ( 22 ) is positioned on top of the channel ( 18 ) and forced into the channel ( 18 ). The plastic affiliating migratory securing adhesive ( 20 ) migrates through the flexible porous membrane ( 22 ) and secures the flexible porous membrane ( 22 ) to the bottom portion ( 14 ) of the plastic support member ( 12 ). The top portion ( 16 ) of the plastic support member ( 12 ) may register with the bottom portion ( 14 ) in such a way so that the flexible porous membrane ( 22 ) is held in place only by the plastic affiliating migratory securing adhesive ( 20 ).
