Abstract A method of producing a molding which includes the steps of interconnecting the first and second moldings, each of which includes a core, by a connecting portion which has a decorative trim portion with a continuously varying cross sectional shape; forming a notched portion with at least one concave portion and at least one convex portion on the core of each of the first and second moldings; engaging the respective notched portions of the first and second moldings with each other by setting the concave portion of the first molding in the convex portion of the second molding; disposing the engaged portions within a cavity of a mold having a cross sectional shape corresponding to the cross sectional shape of the connecting portions; and injecting a material for molding into the cavity of the mold so as to form a decorative trim portion around the engaging portions, which continuously connects the first and second moldings as one body.
A method of producing a molding, which comprises: interconnecting first and second moldings, each of which has a core, with each other by a connecting portion which has a decorative trim portion with a continuously varied cross sectional shape; forming a notched portion with at least one concave portion and at least one convex portion on said core of each of said first and second moldings; engaging said respective notched portions of the first and second moldings with each other by setting the concave portion of said first molding in the convex portion of said second molding; disposing said engaged portions within a cavity of a mold having a cross sectional shape corresponding to the continuously varying cross sectional shape of said connecting portion; and injecting a material for molding into said cavity of said mold so as to form a decorative trim portion around said engaged portions, which continuously connects said first and second moldings as one body.
