A method for continuously forming plastic caps has the following steps of: forming a first plastic cap strip in a mold by a first injection molding process, wherein the first plastic cap strip has a plurality of plastic caps that are connected in sequence; pulling the first plastic cap strip outwardly after the mold is opened, wherein a last one of the plastic caps is in a clamping mod cavity of the mold when the mold is closed; forming a second plastic cap strip by a second injection molding process, wherein a first plastic cap at a forefront end of the second plastic cap strip is connected to the last plastic cap of the first plastic cap strip. In this way, the plastic caps are formed continuously to simplify the manufacturing steps and reduce the manufacturing time. The manufacturing cost is low and the efficiency is high.

An oral care implement having a multi-component handle, and method of manufacturing the same. The invention can be a method of forming a handle for an oral care implement comprising: a) forming a core structure of a first hard plastic; b) forming an elongated handle body of a second hard plastic that at least partially surrounds the core structure so that opposing lateral surfaces of the core structure remain exposed; and c) forming a grip cover of a resilient material over at least a portion of the elongated handle body.

In a method for manufacturing such a modular belt link, a mold having a mold cavity is used comprising a number of U-shaped profiles, which are configured and arranged such as toafter injecting polymeric material into the mold cavityform an aperture in each of the link ends by providing for each link end at least two laterally adjoining, partly overlapping oblong U-shaped recesses which are alternately oriented such that the open end of one of the U-shaped recesses opens in the top support surface and the open end of an immediately adjoining U-shaped recess opens in the bottom surface. The invention relates also to a modular belt link manufactured with such a method and a modular conveyor belt comprising such modular belt links.

According to the present invention, there is provided a pipe forming apparatus for forming a pipe at an installation site. The apparatus includes a former upon which material is wound, and a mold for receiving the former bearing the wound material. An applicator is provided for applying curable liquid within the mold. Advantageously, the pipe is formed at site to provide for efficient formation of a pipeline. A transported ISO container providing the material and curable liquid to the site can produce 800 metres of pipeline section, compared with 60 metres in the prior art, representing a significant increase in efficiency.

An application unit for a cosmetic product for an applicator is disclosed. The applicator includes a region for receiving the application unit. The application unit includes a support that includes a first portion suitable for the fixing in removable fashion of the support to the reception region. The support also includes a second portion forming at least one compartment for receiving the cosmetic composition. The application unit also includes at least one cosmetic product to be applied to human keratinous substances, the composition of the product being different from that of the material forming the support. The cosmetic product is molded by injection onto the support.

The lens is made by injection molding in a mold through the injection of molten plastic material in at least three injection shots using a multistep process. It includes a first outer lens part, a second outer lens part and a lens core part forming an interior of the lens. The lens core part is embedded between the first and second outer lens parts. The lens core part is divided into at least two subparts separated at least partially by at least one elongated slot extending across the lens core part between the first and second surfaces of the lens core part. The slot or slots made through the lens core part are filled and fused with the plastic material of the first outer lens part.

In a method for manufacturing such a modular belt link, a mold having a mold cavity is used comprising a number of U-shaped profiles, which are configured and arranged such as toafter injecting polymeric material (6) into the mold cavityform an aperture (2e) in each of the link ends (2c) by providing for each link end (2c) at least two laterally adjoining, partly overlapping oblong U-shaped recesses (2j1, 2j2), which are alternately oriented such that the open end of one of the U-shaped recesses (2j2) opens in the top support surface and the open end of an immediately adjoining U-shaped recess (2j1) opens in the bottom surface. The invention relates also to a modular belt link manufactured with such a method and a modular conveyor belt comprising such modular belt links.

A light-influencing element for influencing the light emission of essentially point light sources having at least two lenses which are juxtaposed and integrally connected to each other, each having a cavity defining a light entrance section of the lens, and a light exit surface opposite the light entrance section, at least two of the lenses being designed differently with regard to their light entrance sections.

An injection mold including at least one first station for the injection of a first portion of the part, at least one second station for the injection of a second portion of the part, a first loader including at least one first molding cavity, the first loader being movable at least in rotation between the first injection station and a first transfer and/or assembly area, a second loader including at least one first molding cavity, the second loader being movable at least in rotation between the second injection station and a second transfer and/or assembly area, wherein the injection mold includes at least one transfer loader, movable at least in rotation between the first transfer and/or assembly area and the second transfer and/or assembly area.

Lens having a cavity defining a light entrance section of the lens, and a light exit surface opposite the light entrance section, and a beam splitting element formed on the light entrance section of the lens.
