Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de moulage par injection d'un élément d'extension disposé dans une lampe de véhicule, en particulier un procédé de moulage par injection d'un élément d'extension comprenant une partie d'assise de pont. L'invention concerne un procédé de moulage par injection d'un élément d'extension, l'élément d'extension étant disposé dans une lampe de véhicule qui reçoit une pluralité d'unités optiques électroluminescentes, ayant une ouverture formée à l'intérieur, comprenant une partie d'assise de pont divisant l'ouverture en parties multiples, et protégeant au moins certaines des unités optiques de l'extérieur. Une matrice pour mouler l'élément d'extension est pourvue d'au moins une paire de portes dans une position faisant face à une cavité pour former la partie d'assise de pont. Un réglage est effectué pour guider la position d'une ligne de soudure formée sur la partie d'assise de pont vers une zone souhaitée par réglage de différents temps de début d'ouverture de porte pour la paire de portes. De cette manière, le développement d'une ligne de soudure est inhibé.
