Injection molded parts with a small dimension that exhibit high heat resistance are described. Thermoplastic compositions that can be utilized to form the injection molded parts are described. The thermoplastic composition includes a polyarylene sulfide and a crosslinked impact modifier. The thermoplastic composition can also include siloxane polymers, thermoplastic elastomers, or other additives that can further improve the characteristics of the injection molded parts.

A pull tab for zippers is formed by a cord having a cord retaining member attached to one end of the cord and a plug attached to other end of the cord. The cord retaining member has an internal cavity, a first aperture on a proximal end next to the cord and a second aperture on a distal end. The cavity and first and second apertures are sized so that when the cord is wrapped around the plug, the plug fits through the second aperture and cavity but does not fit through the first aperture. The pull tab is assembled by feeding the plug through a zipper tab and then the first aperture, the cavity and the second aperture, wrapping the cord around the plug, and pulling the cord to force the plug with the cord wrapping back into the cavity.

A component for fasteners, including a molded component formed of a polyamide resin composition including reinforcing fiber, wherein a dyed layer being dyed inward from a surface of the molded component is disposed, and the thickness of the dyed layer is 30 to 100 m.

A zipper guide is provided to facilitate closure of an open-ended zipper. The zipper guide includes a base to which a zipper tape pin end is attached and a slider to which a zipper tape box end is attached. A key on a lower surface of the slider slides in a trench in an upper surface of the base at an orientation that guides the attached zipper tape box end toward the attached zipper tape pin end by planar sliding movements of the slider lower surface with respect to the base upper surface.

A molding process for creating a decorative pull has two separate molding steps. In the first molding step, a first top mold portion, and a bottom mold portion are used. The bottom mold portion has a mold compartment with an indentation in the bottom. An end of a soft string is placed in this compartment with the end disposed over the indentation. The first top mold portion is closed over the bottom mold portion and molding material is injected. The molding material enters the mold cavity and flows into the indentation to cover the ends of the string entirely, to create a first molded component. A second top mold portion is then placed over the bottom mold potion and molding material is then injected into the second mold cavity formed by the second top mold portion to cover the first molded component and create a molded pull for use on zippers or other items.

A first body of fastener material is joined to a first web of panel material while a second body of fastener material is joined to a second web of panel material. The first and second bodies of fastener material are interposed between the first and second webs of panel material and aligned with each other after the first and second webs of panel material are superposed with each other. A third body of fastener material is joined to a web of side gusset material to be interposed between the first and second bodies of fastener material after the first and second webs of panel material are superposed with each other, the first and second bodies of fastener material being aligned with the third body of fastener material.

A method for manufacturing a watertight zipper is provided to solve the problem of low watertight effect of the modern watertight zipper. The method includes producing a waterproof stringer tape and forming a waterproof layer by injection molding. The waterproof layer covers a lateral edge of the waterproof stringer tape and includes a plurality of recesses. The method for manufacturing the watertight zipper further includes forming an aperture in each of the plurality of recesses. The aperture extends through the waterproof layer and the waterproof stringer tape. The method for manufacturing the watertight zipper further includes forming a plurality of scoops in the plurality of recesses by injection molding.

A method for producing a single-sided mold and a double-sided coining mold are provided. The method comprises the following steps: S1. forming a mold cavity on the single-sided mold according to shape of a product; S2. engraving a surface of the mold cavity by a first engraving and milling cutter to form engraved holes, and then inserting a second engraving and milling cutter into the engraved holes for further engraving to form holes to be coined; S3. repeating the step S2 until a predefined number of the holes to be coined are formed on the surface of the mold cavity; S4. placing a coining die with hardened tips on the surface of the mold cavity, and embedding each of the hardened tips into one of the holes to be coined respectively, and then the mold cavity being molded by a coining process.

A plastic bag is provided. The plastic bag includes a first wall made of a first material with a first thickness dimension and a second wall made of the first material with a second thickness dimension, wherein an opening is formed on a first side of the first wall and the second wall and a second side of the first wall and the second wall is sealed together. The plastic bag also includes a first strip made of a second material with a third thickness dimension disposed on the first wall. The plastic bag further includes a first section on the first wall having a fourth thickness dimension. The fourth thickness dimension is smaller than the first thickness dimension. The first strip and the first section align to form a first weakened zone.
