A hollow article 10 is molded in a state where an inner surface of a neck portion 11 including an inner screw portion is held by an inner neck mold 52, and then, the hollow article 10 is demolded from the inner neck mold 52 by inserting an ejection rod 81 into the hollow article 10 to be engaged with an inner surface of the hollow article 10 and rotating the hollow article 10 together with the ejection rod 81.

The mold device according to the present invention is a mold device to resin-seal the semiconductor device including an insert electrode, and in the semiconductor device, the insert electrode is provided with an insert hole, a nut having a screw hole is disposed in the insert electrode so that the insert hole and the screw hole communicate with each other, the mold device includes a mold body into which resin is injected to resin-seal the semiconductor device, including a side of the insert electrode where the nut is disposed, and a rod-like member that is inserted into the insert hole, and the rod-like member is inserted into the screw hole of the nut through the insert hole of the insert electrode to draw the nut to the side of the insert electrode.

A method of mechanically securing a first object including a thermoplastic material in a solid state to a second object with a generally flat sheet portion, with a perforation of the sheet portion, and with the sheet portion having an edge along the perforation is provided, wherein the first object is positioned relative to the second object so that the edge is in contact with the thermoplastic material and wherein mechanical vibration energy is coupled into the assembly including the first and second objects until a flow portion of the thermoplastic material due to friction heat generated between the edge and the thermoplastic material becomes flowable and flows around the edge to at least partially embed the edge in the thermoplastic material. After the mechanical vibration stops, the thermoplastic material is caused to re-solidify, whereby the re-solidified thermoplastic material at least partially embedding the edge anchors the first object in the second object.

A diffuser assembly includes a flexible diffuser membrane and a diffuser body. The flexible diffuser membrane defines a circumferential bead. The diffuser body defines a circular plate underlying the flexible diffuser membrane, and an edge ring covering a covered portion of the circumferential bead. The edge ring defines an inside surface that conforms to an outside shape of the covered portion of the circumferential bead. The edge ring is integral to the diffuser body. Such a diffuser assembly may provide a disposable diffuser assembly option with many advantages over conventional technologies such as improved ease of installation, lower weight, and lower cost.

A cleaning device for LADs, and other such threaded devices, comprising a cap and a cleaning agent. The cap comprises a casing having an opening to an interior cavity. A threaded coupling mechanism is located on the inner surface of the casing proximate the opening. The coupling mechanism has retention features that provide localized pressure points on the threads of the LAD to accommodate thread variance and reduce the chance of premature disengagement.

A fastening insert made of plastic with a T-shaped configuration consisting of an insert disc and a hollow cylindrical shaft fastened to the insert disc. The insert disc has a plurality of passage openings arranged off-center, at least one of which has an edge projection extending circumferentially continuously or circumferentially in sections, which is formed as toothing and extends on one side or both sides beyond the respective fastening side of the insert disc. This toothing ensures an additional form-fit connection or fixation of the fastening insert in a preferably fiber-reinforced composite material.

A thermoplastic composite component assembly and method of manufacturing the thermoplastic composite component assembly is disclosed. The thermoplastic composite component assembly is manufactured by first performing a molding step to form individual assembly features as discrete assembly feature components, and separately forming a thermoplastic composite component using a first compression molding step. Then, a reprocessing step is performed where the discrete assembly feature components are integrated with the thermoplastic composite component using a second compression molding step. The reprocessing step essentially welds the discrete assembly feature components to the thermoplastic composite component at each of a plurality of desired assembly feature sites.

A method of mechanically securing a first object including a thermoplastic material in a solid state to a second object with a generally flat sheet portion, with a perforation of the sheet portion, and with the sheet portion having an edge along the perforation is provided, wherein the first object is positioned relative to the second object so that the edge is in contact with the thermoplastic material and wherein mechanical vibration energy is coupled into the assembly including the first and second objects until a flow portion of the thermoplastic material due to friction heat generated between the edge and the thermoplastic material becomes flowable and flows around the edge to at least partially embed the edge in the thermoplastic material. After the mechanical vibration stops, the thermoplastic material is caused to re-solidify, whereby the re-solidified thermoplastic material at least partially embedding the edge anchors the first object in the second object.

Provided is a soft container in which a tip portion of a body portion can be blocked with one member. The tip portion of a flexible body portion 10 of a soft container 1 is blocked by a tip sheet member 20. The tip sheet member 20 integrally has a circumferential side portion 21, a shoulder portion 22, and a top portion 23. The tip sheet member 20 is constituted by a self-supporting film molded body 28 having a uniform thickness. The tubular circumferential side portion 21 and the body portion 10 are joined to each other. The shoulder portion 22 is reduced in diameter in a tapered shape from the circumferential side portion 21 toward the tip side. The top portion 23 blocks the tip portion of the shoulder portion 22.

A method of forming at least one channel within a substrate includes coupling a fitting to a mold, and securing together the fitting and an insert via threads. A system includes a mold configured to form the substrate. The method also includes inserting a component into an opening of the fitting. Part of the component is disposed outside of the opening of the fitting, and the component is utilized to define the at least one channel within the substrate. The method further includes molding at least one material to the component and the insert to form the substrate. Furthermore, the method includes removing the fitting from the insert while the insert remains molded to the substrate.
