ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing a double-walled blow-molded article with a hinged handle is performed on an article comprising a receiving member and a pinned member. The receiving member is a double-walled blow-molded thermoplastic component having an outer wall, an inner wall, and an open-ended receptacle. The open ended receptacle is defined by an arcuate pocket positioned opposite the open end, a stationary wall extending from the pocket and facing generally in a first direction, and a deflecting wall positioned opposite the stationary wall and facing generally in a second direction opposite the first direction. The pinned member includes a cylindrical pin. The method comprises as a first step passing the cylindrical pin through the open end of the receptacle and into contact with the pocket. Passage of the pin is performed such that the deflecting wall deflects away from the stationary wall as the pin travels between the deflecting wall and said stationary wall, and such that the deflecting wall recovers toward the stationary wall as the pin contacts the pocket. This passing step is carried out as the receiving member remains at an elevated temperature at which the thermoplastic comprising the receiving member has a first elastic modulus.
