In the overmoulding of an article channels are provided in the surface of
the article to guide the flow of the overmoulding material, in addition
holes may be provided across the article to enable flow of the
overmoulding material to the side of the carrier remote from the point of
injection. The techniques are particular useful in the overmoulding of
articles having a lattice or honeycomb structure particularly when
produced by injection moulding. When the overmoulding material is
foamable the overmoulded articles may be used as acoustic baffles or
structural reinforcement for automobiles.
