Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A METHOD OF SECURING A DECORATIVE METALLIC ELEMENT TO A THERMOPLASTIC BASE MATERIAL, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF APPLYING A THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL TO THE OUTER SURFACE OF A PORTION OF SAID ELEMENT, PLACING THE ELEMENT AND THE BASE MATERIAL IN A DIELECTRIC HEATING PRESS HAVING A PAIR OF ELECTRODES, CLOSING THE PRESS SO THAT ONE OF SAID ELECTRODES MAKES ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH THE ELEMENT TO MAKE THE LATTER A PART OF THE ELECTRODE AND SO THAT THE BASE MATERIAL CONTACTS THE THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL ON THE ELEMENT, AND APPLYING A HIGH FREQUENCY VOLTAGE BETWEEN SAID ELEMENT AND THE OTHER OF SAID ELECTRODES TO HEAT BOTH OF THE MATERIALS AT THE CONTACTING SURFACES THEREOF TO FUSE THEM TOGETHER WHEREBY THE ELEMENT IS BONDED TO THE BASE MATERIAL.
