A method of manufacturing a no slip bicycle saddle, or the like includes the steps of providing a bicycle seat shell, cutting a fabric to a size and shape suitable for covering the bicycle seat shell and forming a pressure plate having concavities on one side thereof disposed in a selected pattern, the selected pattern corresponding to a desired pattern of plastic material to be applied to the fabric. Fluid communication between each concavity and a supply of fluid plastic material. The cut fabric is then disposed on a bed and the pressure plate is forced against the cut fabric and bed to form a seal between the concavities. Fluid plastic material is then forced through the concavities and into the cut fabric disposed under each concavity to form the desired pattern on the cut fabric. Thereafter, the fluid plastic material is allowed to solidify and adhere to the fabric, and the pressure plate is separated from the cut fabric leaving a friction surface on the fabric. The fabric having a friction surface is stretched over the bicycle seat shell and a perimeter of the stretched fabric is secured to the bicycle seat shell. |
