Abstract

A method for contouring the surface of a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, which comprises contacting said sheet, warmed to the softening temperature of the synthetic resin, with a rigid structure having perforations therein and having a sheet of rubber or of a rubber-like synthetic resin foam in contact therewith on that side thereof which is opposite to said thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet, under pressure such that said synthetic resin sheet, in a thermoplastic condition, and said sheet of rubber or of synthetic resin foam penetrate into said perforations and come into substantially full surface contact with each other in said perforations.
