an emergency trunk release handle for an automobile displays the graphics explaining the use and function of the handle by cutting out the material from the handle . forming the emergency release handle from a phosphorescent plastic material that can be formed by a molding process , such as injection molding , the cut - out graphics show as darkened areas , when viewed in the dark confines of an automobile trunk , to provide a high degree of visibility for the graphics . the graphics are also visible when seen against the dark carpet in the interior of an opened trunk cavity . the formation of the graphics is accomplished by coring the mold in the configuration of the desired graphics and by forming the plastic material in the mold around the cores . the resultant handle structure is thus formed in a cost effective manner that reduces the process failure potential during the manufacturing of the handle .
