[Problem] To suppress changes in the recess depth and shape of a three-dimensional molded shape, and to form a uniform protective layer or ornamental layer along the surface of the molded shape. Also, to provide uniform application to the entire irregularly-formed surface and to suppress air pockets and partial defects of bonding. [Solution] In an adherend W having a three-dimensional molded portion in which a plurality of concavities and/or convexities are molded in a regular arrangement, a thermoplastic coating film larger than the area of an adhesion region is integrally adhered by a three dimensional decorative molding procedure in a predetermined adhesion region that includes the three-dimensional molded portion. The predetermined adhesion region includes all of the three-dimensional molded portion and covers more than half the perimeter of the adherend W incenter cross-sectional view.

The invention disclosed herein is an automotive acoustic panel including a porous sound-absorption material made from a polymer and an expanded perlite. One or more silane compounds may be coupled or coated onto the expanded perlite while a coupling agent and a chemical foaming agent may additionally be added to the automotive acoustic panel.

The present invention solves the above mentioned technical problems by providing a three dimensional molded shape suitable for use in the fabrication of a food tray, the molded shape comprising a molded pulp portion with side walls and a bottom wall comprising virgin or recycled cellulose fibers and a film laminate portion comprising a polyester film with an amorphous polyester heat seal layer.

The device comprises at least one forming and wrap-around labeling assembly (60) suitable for taking up an active configuration in which said assembly has a forming chamber (36) and a looping chamber (46), which chambers are in axial alignment and communicate with each other via an annular passageway (62) provided through the end wall of the forming chamber. The assembly is further provided with a pusher member (66) configured to push a wrap-around label (27) that is looped in the looping chamber into the forming chamber. At least one portion (36C) in the forming chamber (36) flares going away from the end wall (36B) of the forming chamber and the pusher member is configured to expand radially while pushing the wrap-around label (26A) into said flared portion (36C) of the forming chamber (36).

Resin-molded articles, to which such advantages as strength, rigidness and light weight are secured thanks to kneading with fibers, and which has excellent surface characteristics such as smoothness of the surface and beauty in the appearance, and resistance against weather, ultraviolet rays and light are provided.

The resin-molded article 10 is structured by sticking a resin surface skin member 3 provided with an adhering layer 2 to a molded fibrous base member 1 comprising any of carbon fibers, glass fibers and the complex thereof, and the resin-molded article is manufactured according to the following steps, specifically a step of placing a molded member comprising mixture of fibers and resin on a tray 23, a step to arrange a resin surface skin member provided with an adhering layer onto the molded member such that the adhering layer of the resin surface skin member is directed downward, a step to render the surroundings of the molded member and the resin surface skin member in a negatively-pressurized condition and to concurrently heat the resin surface skin member to raise the tray so that the molded member is closely contacted to the softened resin surface skin member, a step to render the upper part of the tray in a pressurized condition, a step to release the pressure applied to surrounding of the tray and a step to remove the molded base covered with the resin surface skin member.

A molding die device is provided for bringing a resin sheet into close contact with a pair of dies by vacuum suction from a cavity surface to perform molding. An outer frame portion is formed integrally with an outer peripheral portion of the respective dies arranged to face each other. Moreover, one of the dies has a recessed portion formed at the position of the one of the dies facing the outer frame portion of the other die and configured so that the outer frame portion of the one of the dies can be housed in the recessed portion. The outer frame portion is formed to protrude most in each die. Upon molding, the dies are clamped together after vacuum suction has been performed with the resin sheet being arranged in contact with the outer frame portions.
