A thermoplastic, synthetic resin, baseboard panel or piece having a plurality of hinged sections and including resilient injection molded portions is presented. The panel or piece may be used in a variety of applications such as to provide sealing ends on thermoplastic panels or to create resiliently closeable passages in thermoplastic panels through which wires and other objects may be passed while maintaining an even surface appearance of the baseboard panel.

Hinged thermoplastic structural piece containing injection molded portion

A dual-durometer integral synthetic resin hinge joins two relatively rigid synthetic resin sections. The hinge comprises a first ply of the same composition and hardness as the rigid panels and an overlying second ply of relatively softer synthetic resin material. The first ply of the hinge is scored to provide a fracture line adjacent the hinge axis.
