          Application No. 08/019,335                                                  



               setting said covering portion of said formed article on                
          one of a first and second dies which constitute a press-type                
          forming die with said curved portion of said covering portion               
          being supported by a slide core located at a forefront                      
          position;                                                                   
               setting a molten resin which is a forming material of said             
          base portion into a gap between said first die and said second              
          die in a state in which said covering portion of said formed                
          article is being set on said first die;                                     
               clamping said press-type forming die in a state wherein                
          said slide core is in contact with said other die at the                    
          forefront position and causing said molten resin to set in a                
          gap between said covering portion and said other die to form it             
          into said formed article, said contact between said slide core              
          and said second die preventing leakage of said molten resin and             
          thus avoiding the formation of burrs; and                                   
               opening said press-type forming die and then removing the              
          formed article obtained in said clamping step from said press-              
          type forming die.                                                           

               The prior art references of record relied upon by the                  
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:                              
          European Patent (Masui)       186 016        Jul.  2, 1986                  
          European Patent (Suzuki)           343 245        Nov. 29, 1989             

               Claims 1-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being              
          unpatentable over Masui in view of Suzuki.
