26 ABSTRACT A method of forming a plastic product having contoured peripheral edges molded in a continuous in-line manner is described. A bounded recessed region is defined on at least a portion of a pattern roll's cylindrical surface. The pattern roll is then rotated in opposition to a platen roll so as to define a nip therebetween. Discrete volumetric portions of the recessed region are thus sequentially continuously presented at the nip upon rotation of the pattern roll. A molten thermoplastic is simultaneously extruded into the presented volumetric portions. Thus, this extrusion/rotation causes the thermoplastic material to fill the presented volumetric portions of the defined region, which filled portions will eventually form an outline of the plastic product and will, moreover, cause the thermoplastic material to be flowably compressed in the defined nip. This compression, in turn, allows the contoured edges to, in effect, be molded for each sequential volumetric presentation of the bounded region. Pattern rolls for practicing this method and a method of forming the same are also disclosed.
