Description
本発明は、参照により本明細書に援用されている2010年12月29日出願の米国非仮特許出願第12/980,868号に基づくものであり、これに対する優先権を主張するものである。
互いの間にパネル化シート成形キャビティを共に画定する第1の金型と第2の金型を含む成形器具内にカバー材料を設置することにより形成される。パネル化シート成形キャビティは、第1の電極と第2の電極の間に存在する。第1の金型は複数のパネル陥凹部を有し、第2の金型は複数のパネル突起部を有する。カバーパネルブランクは、多角形(例えば六角形および五角形)パネルが最終的ボールの曲率半径を有するように輪郭どりされ整形されている状態で、第1および第2の電極の間に交流無線周波数電場を印加してパネル化シートを形成し、パネル化シートから余剰の材料を切断してカバーパネルブランクを形成することによって形成される。別の態様において、交流無線周波数電場の周波数は約1MHz〜200MHzであり、交流無線周波数電場の電圧は約1,000V〜10,000Vである。
