A method of manufacturing an edge protector for a cathode plate includes inserting a first retention plate into a slit in a first edge strip, proximate an end of the first edge strip. The first retention plate is also inserted into a slit in a second edge strip, proximate a first end of the second edge strip. Additionally, the first retention plate is inserted into a gap of a first plug, such that the first plug abuts both the end of the first edge strip and the first end of the second edge strip. A corner cap is then overmolded on the end of the first edge strip, the first plug, and the first end of the second edge strip. |

The present invention provides a panel having a light-absorbing heat-storing panel body in which the problem of heat storage with light absorption by the panel body is reduced. A panel 51A includes a panel body 52A made of a thermoplastic resin and having light transmissivity and the light-absorbing heat-storing property of absorbing light, converting the light to heat, and storing the heat therein. The panel body 52A has a laminated structure including a light-transmissive first layer 2a and a light-transmissive second layer 2b laminated on the first layer 2a and having the higher light-absorbing heat-storing property than the first layer 2a. The light-absorbing heat-storing panel body 52A has a laminated structure including at least two layers of the layer 2b that contributes to IR absorption and the layer 2a that serves as a heat-insulating layer so that radiation of the heat stored due to IR absorption by the layer 2b contributing to IR absorption can be shielded by the heat-insulating layer 2a, and thus a temperature rise due to radiant heat from the panel body 52A can be prevented. |

Methods of joining members, forming molded portions with members, securing inserts with members, and joined members, such as for a frame or a frame for a fenestration unit, formed thereby, are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes placing a first member with a first cavity in a joining position, placing a second member proximate the first cavity of the first member in the joining position, injecting a resin into the first cavity, allowing the resin to solidify at least partially to join the first member and second member to form a joined member, and removing the joined member from the joining position. Optionally, the joined member can be formed in a fixture, can include molded portions formed by the resin, and/or can include inserts held in place by the resin. Further, members without cavities can form a cavity that can receive the resin. |
