THERMOPLASTIC BLOCK SHAPE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

An elongate piece (64) of solid thermoplastic material having at least one cut (70) extending almost entirely transversely through the elongate piece while retaining a hinge-like portion (72) between parts of the elongate piece on opposite sides of the cut that affords bending of the elongate piece in one direction at the hinge-like portion; and mechanisms (120, 160) for continuously molding and cutting a continuous length of such thermoplastic material.
