Abstract
The invention is directed to an overmolded two-component friction element in a plastic pallet and to a method for forming the pallet. The friction element includes a rigid outer carrier member and an elastomeric material that is exposed at one or more ends. The friction element is first formed in an injection mold, and then is placed in a pallet mold. Resin is injected into the pallet mold around the sides of the friction element leaving the exposed elastomeric material form part of the pallet surface.
