Abstract
A cover and a method for automatically producing a cover having at least one cover panel for covering a container, the method using a mold having an open state and a closed state. The method operates in three steps. First, by opening the mold to the open state and assembling therein, free of mechanical fasteners, of at least two functionally different cover elements. Second, closing the mold to the closed state and injecting therein at least one substance that solidifies for forming a structural material which forms a third cover element. Third, opening the mold to the open state and retrieving the cover thereout ready for use. The cover is void of mechanical fasteners and has at least two functionally different cover elements which include at least a belt and a reinforcement structure.
