A two-color molding die includes: a fixed primary die; a fixed secondary die; and a movable die. The fixed primary die includes a first concave portion. The movable die includes a second concave portion facing the first concave portion, and a core pin that protrudes from a base end surface of the second concave portion toward a base end surface of the first concave portion to form a tubular primary molding cavity between the core pin and the first concave portion and the second concave portion. The fixed secondary die includes a third concave portion configured to form a concave secondary molding cavity.

An injection mold for producing a double walled drinking vessel includes first and second mold portions. The first mold portion forms a first and second cavities corresponding to the outer shape of the outer container and the outer shape of the inner container, respectively. The first and second cavities are located concentrically with respect to a central axis. An index plate is rotatable and axially movable along the central axis relative to the first mold portion. The index plate includes a first core and a second core. The first cavity has a first cavity injection gate for injecting mold material into the first cavity for forming the outer container. The second cavity has a second cavity injection gate for injecting mold material into the second cavity for forming the inner container. The first cavity has a further injection gate for injecting joint material for joining the outer and inner containers.

A primary optic for a headlamp of a motor vehicle is provided. The primary optic is a multi-component injection molding comprising at least two injection molded photometrical components coupled to each other, whereby the at least two photometrical components are arranged to consecutively receive light emitted by a light source.

A chaff resistant and economically recyclable dunnage tray is disclosed. In one aspect, the dunnage tray includes a base portion formed from a first material and a top portion formed from a second material. The top portion is secured to the base portion, and defines at least one cavity or recess for supporting a machine component. The first and second materials are high density polyethylene (HDPE) materials with the second material including polyethylene elastomers, or plastomers. In one example, the dunnage tray is formed by thermoforming a co-extruded sheet including a first layer corresponding to the bottom structural portion and a second layer corresponding to the elastomer or plastomer portion. In one example, the dunnage tray is formed by thermoforming an extruded sheet to form the base portion and by attaching separately formed top portions with polyethylene elastomers, or plastomers to the thermoformed base portion. This invention provides solutions to chaffing or chipping of polyethylene dunnage trays, control of coefficient of friction and softness to minimize parts from sliding/abrading dunnage surfaces, and eliminates requirements for disassembly of dunnage trays and separation of materials prior to recycling.

A method for use in making an electrode assembly (20) comprises the steps of applying an electrode (24) on a first layer of material (22); laser welding a lead (23) to the electrode; applying an adhesive backfill (26) over the electrode and the lead; and applying a second layer of material (28) over the adhesive backfill and a portion of the first layer to prevent a leakage path between the electrode and the second layer.

A production apparatus of a two-layer preform including an inner layer preform and an outer layer preform includes: an outer layer cavity mold for injection-molding the outer layer preform. A bottom surface of the outer layer cavity mold is provided with a protrusion for separating the inner layer preform disposed in the outer layer cavity mold from the bottom surface.

The invention relates to a cover element having a housing of a film that is formed and moulded between a front plate and a carrier plate and is used to represent multidimensional structures, the carrier plate being connected on the rear side to a heating plate, characterized in that the housing consists of an annular housing base and an annular housing front, and a circuit-board ring having LEDs and plugs is installed in the housing base.

A method of molding a personal care product, a manifold, and a cosmetic product molding apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, the method of molding a personal care product comprises: moving a material through a temperature controlled manifold, opening one or more injection valves between the temperature controlled manifold and one or more mold cavities, injecting the material at a controlled pressure into the one or mold cavities in a closed position to form one or more articles, closing the one or more injection valves between the temperature controlled manifold and one or more mold cavities after injecting the material into the one or more mold cavities, opening the one or more mold cavities, and removing the one or more articles from the one or more mold cavities.
