ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to securing rigid foams to a plastic panel through linear welding. The foam is vibrated linearly sufficiently to heat the interface between the foam and panel. The surface of the panel softens and becomes partially molten. The foam is urged into the panel and molten plastic material flows into the foam.
