Method for joining two casing parts elastically to each other and the joint produced by the method.

摘要

The object of the description is a method and apparatus for attaching two casing parts (1, 6) elastically to each other. The first part (1) comprises a protruding edge (2), which is attached to a corresponding groove (7) in the other part (6). Liquid plastic foam is first moulded into a mould (3) with a cavity (4) corresponding substantially to the form of the groove (7), which foam then, solidifies and fixes to form a plastic foam list (5) at the edge (5). The cavity of the mould has been dimensioned a little greater in width than the groove (7). When then the elastic list (5) is pressed into the groove (7) the list is attached to the groove through its elasticity and the friction force. The plastic foam (5) can be e.g. a two-component polyurethane foam.
