Abstract
A process for injection molding plastic products having a closed end and an open end with laminated walls terminating in a rim at the open end. A first common mold part is combined with a first complementary mold part to assemble a first mold cavity in which the first plastic material is injected until it reaches the portion of the first mold cavity that defines the rim of the product. Portions of the first complementary mold part contact portions of the first common mold part to rigidly secure the mold parts in position in relation to each other in order to impede movement of the mold parts in relation to each other during injection of a first plastic material into the first mold cavity. The first plastic material is shaped such that when it is contained after solidification in a second mold cavity it provides one or more stabilizing regions that rigidly secure the first common mold part in position in relation to the second complementary mold part in order to impede movement of such mold parts in relation to each other during the injection of a second plastic material into the second mold cavity. A second plastic material having different characteristics than the first plastic material is injected until it reaches the portion of the second mold cavity that defines the rim of the product to form a laminated wall.
