A lacrosse head pocket includes a plug unit having first and second plugs disposed on a cross lace. The plugs are overmolded by first and/or second runners constructed from a polymeric material so that the plugs are joined with the first and/or second runners. The cross lace extends outwardly from the plug and the overmolded first and/or second runners. Some plug units can have cross laces that cross one another, while other plug units might not include cross laces that cross one another. A method is also provided including: forming a first plug on a first cross lace, placing the first plug in a mold, overmolding a first runner over at least a portion of the plug so the plug and first runner are joined, and optionally overmolding a second plug joined with the cross lace with a second runner or the same first runner.

Mp≦200×X−75
Mp≦100
Minm−Moum>40
Moum−Mc<5
Tinm≧Toum>Tc>Tp
(Tinm×Minm)/(Toum×Moum)>2.0
(Toum×Moum)/(Tc×Mc)<3.0
(Tc×Mc)/(Tp×Mp)>10.0
[where Mp, Minm, Moum, and Mc represent a 10% elastic modulus (kgf/cm.sup.2) of the paint film, inner intermediate layer, outer intermediate layer and cover, respectively; Tp, Tinm, Toum, and Tc represent a thicknesses (mm) of the paint film, inner intermediate layer, outer intermediate layer and cover, respectively; and X represents a molar ratio (NCO/OH) of a NCO group in the polyisocyanate composition to a OH group in the polyol composition.].

A composite structural body (A) includes a first metal member (M1) having a plate-like shape, a second metal member (M2) having a plate-like shape, and a resin member (R) that integrates the first metal member (M1) and the second metal member (M2) with each other. The resin member (R) includes a first resin layer (R1) that coats astride one main surface of the first metal member (M1) and one main surface of the second metal member (M2), and a second resin layer (R2) that coats astride another main surface of the first metal member (M1) and another main surface of the second metal member (M2). The composite structural body (A) is provided as a composite structural body that has satisfactory moldability, that is capable of securing sufficient strength, and that is suitable as a component of a structure such as a vehicle body.

A method of forming a fin configured for use with a water sports board. The method includes providing a mold having a mold cavity and first and second insert pre-preg sheets each including structural strands respectively bonded by first and second resin materials. The method further includes placing the insert pre-preg sheets within the mold cavity. The method further includes injecting a third resin material under pressure into the mold cavity between the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet to urge the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet away from each other and towards respective ones of the pair of mold cavity faces, and dispose the third resin material between the first insert pre-preg sheet and the second insert pre-preg sheet to space at least a portion of the first insert pre-preg sheet from the second insert pre-preg sheet.

A method for mounting a preformed seal on a substrate comprises the steps of providing the preformed seal at a predetermined position relative to the substrate, at least a part of the preformed seal being spaced at a distance from the substrate; arranging a mold in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal, wherein the mold holds the preformed seal at the predetermined position and wherein the mold, the substrate and the preformed seal delimit a mold cavity. Further, the method comprises at least partially filling the mold cavity with a solidifiable composition, wherein the solidifiable composition is in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal bridging the distance; and solidifying the solidifiable composition, whereby the solidifiable composition forms a molded part adhering to the preformed seal and to the substrate. The preformed seal and the solidifiable composition are configured to adhere to each other.

Tooling for manufacturing a vehicle panel having a substrate, a foam layer, and a decorative covering. The tooling includes a tool base having a tool aperture, and an insert having a sealing projection. The insert is located at least partially in the tool aperture. The sealing projection is configured to create a seal between the substrate and the decorative covering at least partially around a substrate aperture in the substrate. The substrate aperture is at least partially smaller than the tool aperture so as to form an overlapping seal area between the sealing projection of insert and the substrate. A manufacturing method can create a foam-less region between the decorative covering and the substrate.
