Medical: Monitor Bezel

These parts are part of a Safety Siderail system for therapeutic beds that prevents a patient from getting wedged between the mattress and steel rails common on hospital beds. These parts are twin-sheet thermoformed from a 94V0 Kydex material, and are pressure formed in a textured mold. Each Siderail is a two piece assembly, with the piece in the upper view creating a "handle" that captures two rotating metal discs.

Insert #1 shows the hollow nature of the twin-sheet process. The hollow area fits over a molded mounting boss similar to the feature highlighted in Insert # 2.

Insert #2 shows a molded mounting boss (essentially two material thicknesses for strength and molded dimensions on both side). The Insert also shows a novel treatment of trimming the parting line, or weld-line, of the two sheets so that it does not protrude out from the part, but rather offers a smooth, cleanable and cosmetically appealing edge.
