Abstract
A water reservoir for a clothes pressing iron, the reservoir being composed of two plastic parts, and a method for fabricating the reservoir by: simultaneously molding the two parts of one reservoir in a first injection molding step in two impressions of the same mold; and assembling the two parts together while, in a second injection molding step, injection molding a joint of plastic material between the two parts to connect the two parts together in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the two parts are assembled together and the second injection molding step is performed before complete crystallization of the two parts.
