The invention relates to a slider and a method of making the same. The
slider comprises a bottom plate, an inner core, and a skin plate. The
inner core has a bottom surface and a top surface, and is made of a
foamed plastic. The bottom plate and the skin plate are bonded to the
bottom surface and the top surface of the inner core, respectively, to
form a laminate, and thus the inner core is sandwiched between the bottom
plate and the skin plate. The bottom plate is a multi-layer structure,
comprising a foamed plastic layer, an adhesive layer, a fabric layer, an
ink layer, and a composite casting layer, which are laminated downward in
order from the bottom surface of the inner core. The skin plate is also a
multi-layer structure, comprising a foamed plastic layer, an adhesive
layer, a film layer, a corona treatment layer and an ink layer, which are
laminated upward in order from the top surface of the inner core. The
invention provides a comfortable, lightweight and safely used slider,
having the enhanced strength and toughness, with both a lower
manufacturing cost and a simpler manufacturing process, whose design
pattern is not apt to be worn off.
