ABSTRACT:
A method for producing a moldable object having a hollow plastic component and a single-piece plastic stanchion is provided. The method includes molding the single-piece plastic stanchion in a first mold. The molded stanchion includes a first substantially-closed end and a second substantially-open end, and a cap joined with the second end via a living-hinge, enabling the cap to assume and maintain a position, such that the second end becomes substantially covered. The method also includes flexing the living-hinge, wherein the cap assumes and maintains the position such that the second end is substantially covered. The method additionally includes arranging the single-piece stanchion relative to a second mold after the second end is substantially-covered via the cap. Furthermore, the method includes molding the hollow plastic component in the second mold, such that the single-piece stanchion is fixedly retained by the hollow plastic component.
