Abstract
An injection molded part is formed of a base part and a soft component which includes a cushioning shaped part fastened thereto. Injection (molding is performed without additional connection steps by having the cushioning shaped part have a soft, cast gel body completely covered on its boundary surface with a hard component that is a flexible and elastically deformable material which forms a circumferential flange-like rim protruding laterally beyond the cast gel body. During injection molding the hard component is being surrounded by the material of the base part while shielding the cast gel body from the injected material used to form the base part.
