In-mold decoration process for making plastic articles having, at least in part, a substantially tubular, in particular cylindrical or quasi-cylindrical or frusto-conical, configuration, decorated, at least in part, with a fabric skin, which comprises the steps of: (a) preparing substantially cylindrical sleeve piece of the fabric to be used as skin for the decorated plastic article, said sleeve piece being of such size and dimensions and elasticity that it is adapted to being imparted the shape and dimensions desired for the final covering or skin of the finished plastic article; (b) providing a mold which has a male half and a female half, which define the surfaces of the substantially tubular portion of the finished plastic article, the male half having a core the surface of which defines the inner surface of said article portion and the female half having a cavity the surface of which defines the outer surface of said article portion; (c) placing said sleeve piece about said core; (d) injecting molten plastic material into said cavity towards said core, whereby to cause it to flow between said sleeve piece and one of said surfaces of said core or said cavity and to press said sleeve piece against the other one of said surfaces, the injected plastic material filling the space between said sleeve piece and said first mentioned surface; (e) allowing plastic material to solidify; and (f) extracting the resulting decorated plastic article from the mold. |
