A pallet is taught having two openings on at least one side of the pallet, the two openings formed by a bisecting wall separating the openings. More specifically, at least one bisecting post creates a first opening and a second opening Each of the said first and second openings each have a convexly curved runner, said runner convexly curved along its width; and a concavely curved ceiling, said ceiling concavely curved along its width wherein the center point of the radius of the curved runner varies from the radius of the curved ceiling.

A die assembly for forming finished parts from blanks includes an upper die section and a lower die section. The upper die section includes an upper segmented die having a plurality of upper die segments releasably coupled to each other. The lower die section includes a lower segmented die having a plurality of lower die segments releasably coupled to each other. The die assembly is usable with a movable gantry press configured to move to a location of the die assembly and operate the die assembly.

A process of overmolding a frame of a portable eyewear electronic device and a frame produced by the process is presented. A frame that includes a first material and includes a releasably mountable feature is attached to the mold in a desired position and does not contact other areas of the mold. The mold is filled with a second material to at least partially encase the frame insert.

A molding device for producing a shell element reinforced with supporting elements and composed of fiber composite material, including a mold part with a mold surface including a cavity for receiving a supporting element of the shell element, and a mold core to be arranged in the cavity and to support the supporting element on the shell element when the supporting element of the shell element is arranged in the cavity. The molding device enables prevention of the mold cores from falling out in an uncontrolled manner when the shell element is removed from the mold as the mold core includes a holding device to engage with the supporting element of the shell element to be produced located in the cavity and to hold the mold core on the supporting element when the shell element to be produced is released from the mold part.

The present invention relates to a kit comprising a mould (1; 101; 201) for kids and a powder water-sensitive mixture (M) for making a bijou through the mould, wherein the mould (1; 101; 201) comprises at least one body (2; 102) having a lower face, an opposing upper face (3) and a side wall (4) comprised between the lower face and the upper face (3), and at least one cavity (5) opened on the upper face (3) and equipped with a bottom (6), wherein the at least one body (2; 102) is of a flexible and/or deformable material, and wherein the mixture comprises polyvinyl alcohol, guar gum and ethylene vinyl acetate.

A method for coating a non-metal object with a metallic layer may include steps of manufacturing a polyurethane (PU) leather with a metallic surface; attaching a composite material to a surface of the PU leather with the metallic surface; and molding. Comparing with conventional coating techniques such as oil injection and electroplating, the present invention is advantageous because the manufacturing process is simple to lower the manufacturing cost, and also the manufactured product is abrasive and bending-resistance, as well as crease-resistant. Furthermore, since each of the upper cavity and the lower cavity communicates with the gas vent, the pressure inside the mold can be well-maintained during the molding process thereby preventing the molding product from defect causing by excessive pressure.

A manufacturing method for a fibrous composite bicycle rim , and a tool having two molding devices and one circular device. The two molding devices each have one flank contact surface. A molding device is selected and a matching auxiliary molding part is connected therewith, forming a mold surface for the rim base. A first fiber composite layer is applied to the molding device and the auxiliary molding part. The other molding device is covered with a first fiber composite layer, forming the layer of the other rim flank. A circular device is formed of annular segments has a circumferential rim well contact surface and is covered by a first fiber layer, which forms the rim well. The circular device and the molding devices are connected. The fibrous composite material is allowed to set, the annular segments and the molding devices are removed, and the rim is taken out.
