The pipe joint manufacturing method includes a process of placing the seal member inside a mold in a state in which the seal member is fitted to an outer periphery of a retaining pin, and a process of causing a molten resin to flow into the mold so as to mold the housing in a state in which the seal member is cooled through the retaining pin.

An injection-molded product or an eyewear is provided. The injection-molded product or the eyewear may be an optically compensated injection-molded product, which may resolve optical defects such as a rainbow phenomenon occurring in the injection-molded product or the eyewear. The injection-molded product may include an injection-molded body and a retardation film disposed on at least one side of the injection-molded body. The retardation film has an in-plane phase difference of 1,000 nm or more for light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and wherein an angle formed by a slow axis of the retardation film and an injection direction of the injection-molded body is in a range from 0 degree to 80 degrees.

A housing having a rotary axis and configured to support at least one radially projecting cutting component that effects cutting as the housing is turned around the rotary axis. The housing has a first housing part with a first wall and a plurality of discrete circumferentially spaced cavities in the first wall and each having a volume. The volumes of at least a first and second of the cavities respectively at first and second locations are different and strategically selected to cause a mass distribution on the housing that contributes to improved dynamic balancing of the housing as the housing is turned around the rotary axis.

An injection molding mold apparatus including: a first mold and a second mold forming a cavity into which thermoplastic resin is configured to be injected; a slide mold provided on at least one of the first and second molds, capable of moving back and forth in a direction intersecting a mold opening and closing direction, and forming a part of the cavity while being in pressure contact with an insert member during molding; and a pressing member provided at a portion where the slide mold is not provided among portions of the first and second molds that face each other and at a position corresponding to a tip end portion of the slide mold, being movable in the mold opening and closing direction, and pressing and moving the tip end portion in the mold opening and closing direction when the first and second molds are closed.

A polymer injection molding system in one embodiment includes a manifold comprising internal flow conduits configured for conveying polymer in a fluidic state. The manifold may be part of a hot or cold runner type molding unit. An injection nozzle fluidly coupled to the flow conduits interfaces with a mold cavity and is configured to inject polymer therein to form a molded article. The nozzle has a tubular valve body defining a central axial passage which receives a movable elongated valve pin. The valve pin is linearly movable to change the nozzle between open and closed positions for discharging or stopping polymer flow therefrom. The valve pin is further rotatable about its axis to induce shear on the polymer. This maintains the polymer in its flowable fluidic state between molding cycles to prevent polymer cold slug formation within the nozzle which can disrupt the flow resulting in incompletely formed articles.

A method for producing a composite molded component that includes an internal component, a primary molded portion covering the internal component, and a secondary molded portion covering the primary molded portion, wherein a rib portion that protrudes toward the secondary molded portion, the method including the steps of: (a) placing an intermediate component including the internal component and the primary molded portion in a mold; (b) pouring a resin for forming the secondary molded portion into the mold; (c) detecting a resin temperature of the resin in the mold; (d) determining, based on the resin temperature, a melting time during which the resin in the mold can be molten and fused to the rib portion of the primary molded portion; (e) determining, based on the melting time, whether a molten state of the rib portion is good or poor; and (f) releasing the composite molded component from the mold.

The present invention relates to a multi-component gear (1) with an axis of rotation (X) and a first end face (11) and a second end face (12), having an inner part (20) and an outer part (30) made of a plastic with at least one injection-molding section (32), wherein the outer part (30) is arranged on an outer lateral surface (24) of the inner part (20) in a form-fitting and/or integral manner on the inner part (20), and wherein the outer part (30) on the first and/or the second end face (11, 12) has at least one tab (40) which is free-standing in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation (X) and which protrudes over the relevant end face (11, 12) of the inner part (20). The present invention also relates to a gear (2) and a planetary gearset (3).

A mold device where a pressurized fluid is injected into a clearance between a resin injected into a cavity and a cavity wall surface, the mold device including: a shaft body provided on at least one of a first mold and a second mold, the first mold and the second mold forming a molding space, the shaft body ejecting a molded article molded from the resin injected into the molding space; a ring-shaped elastic member for supporting and sealing the shaft body, an opening of a groove formed in the ring-shaped elastic member along a circumferential direction of the ring-shaped elastic member being oriented toward the molding space, a load being applied on the ring-shaped elastic member to improve adhesion to the shaft body; and an injection portion provided on at least one of the first mold and the second mold for injecting the pressurized fluid into the molding space.

The resin injection gate is disposed at the pillar part. When the bearing cage is divided into first and second regions by an imaginary line connecting the resin injection gate and a weld to be formed at a position radially facing the resin injection gate, a resin reservoir that can store therein the melted resin is formed at the pillar part in only one of the regions. A circumferential distance between the resin reservoir and the weld is smaller than a circumferential distance between the resin reservoir and the resin injection gate. A cross-sectional area of a communicating part of the resin reservoir, which is configured to communicate with the pillar part, is equal to or less than a quarter of a cross-sectional area of the resin injection gate.
