ABSTRACT:
An insert which forms the show or finish surface (this surface exposed to the weather) for an elastomeric gasket in an encapsulated window assembly is thermo formed from a sheet of plastic and placed in the lower half of a mold. A sheet of glazing material is also placed in the lower mold half and an upper mold half is utilized to close the mold cavity. Gasket forming material is injected into the mold cavity to form a gasket in situ which adheres to both the peripheral marginal areas of the transparent sheet and the insert. The insert can be formed with a gate portion which extends into the gate area of the mold and prevents the gasket forming material from flowing onto the surface of the insert which is to be exposed in the final glazing. In one embodiment, the insert can be formed in its final configuration with a central opening leaving the transparent sheet exposed. In an alternate embodiment, the insert is formed with a centrally disposed portion which covers the transparent sheet material to protect it. A groove can be formed in the insert to facilitate removal of the central portion.
