The pet toy is multifunctional, and has both teething and food leakage functions; and in addition, the pet toy has advantages of the hard and flexible materials, and is multifunctional.

A device for demolding negatives in thermoplastic injection molds includes an ejector which comprises an ejector profile for the fastening thereof to an ejector plate and a figure insert with a profile that is complementary to a piece to be molded. The ejector further comprises a flexible element arranged between the ejector profile and the figure insert which pushes the figure insert in order to demold the negative by an angular displacement and stretches the figure insert so as to return the ejector to the injection position thereof. The device eliminates the need for molding sliders which are costly as well as the need for a machining process for the installation thereof.

The separating device comprises: an actuating device (8) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and a separated position, at least one separating element (28, 60) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and a separated position, a transfer device (26) connecting the actuating device (8) and the separating device (28, 60). The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (46), rotatable relative to one another and relative to the actuating device (8) and the separating element (28, 60), and a guide element (36) receiving said links (46), said links being moved along a movement path by the actuating device (8) and moving the separating element (28, 60).

A photocuring type 3D printer (4) includes a sink (41) for containing a forming liquid (40), a glass layer (42) disposed on the sink (41), a membrane (43) disposed above the glass layer (42), an emitting unit (46) disposed below the sink (41), and a forming platform (45) arranged to immerse in the forming liquid (40) for constructing a model (5). The 3D printer (4) further includes an adjusting unit (44) disposed at one side of the sink (41). One end of the membrane (43) is connected to the adjusting unit (44), and another end of the membrane (43) is connected to the other side of the sink (41) opposite to the adjusting unit (44). The 3D printer (4) controls the adjusting unit (44) to execute homing for tightening the membrane (43) before solidifying the model (5) and controls the adjusting unit (44) to move for relaxing the membrane (43) after the model (5) is solidified, and controls the forming platform (45) to move after the membrane (43) is relaxed for peeling the model (5) from the membrane (43).

An apparatus for taking out a molded product is provided, the apparatus being capable of suppressing displacement vibration of an attachment mounted at a leading end of each of one or more approach frames by active control using one or more electromagnetic actuators. The apparatus includes an active vibration suppressing system. One or more electromagnetic actuators are mounted to the attachment of each approach frame or each approach frame.

An additive manufacturing system includes a printing surface for supporting a printed part, and a part removal system, including at least one wire configured to move relative to the printing surface and configured to engage the printed part for removing the printed part from the printing surface. In another embodiment, an additive manufacturing system includes a printing surface for supporting a printed part, and a part removal system, including at least one saw configured to move relative to the printing surface and configured to engage the printed part for removing the printed part from the printing surface.

The ejection device comprises: a pushing device (14) translatable along a first axis (A1) between a retracted position and an ejection position, an ejection element (28) translatable along a second axis (A2) between a retracted position and an ejection position, a transfer device (26) connecting the pushing device (14) and the ejection device (28). The transfer device (26) comprises at least two links (44), translatable relative to one another and relative to the pushing device (14) and the ejection element (28).

A sealed plastic drum for transporting a powder chemical product, including a vessel having a side wall and an end edge including a circumferential outer crown and at least two lugs projecting outward from the side wall; and a lid including a collar for covering the end edge of the vessel and at least two bosses projecting inward from the outer wall of the collar, the bosses and the lugs being arranged and configured such that the covering collar can be inserted on the end edge of the vessel by axial translation, in order to place a lower rotational surface of the lid in contact with an upper rotational surface of the vessel, and then, after rotating the lid, to insert each boss between a lug and the outer crown and to obtain a seal of the drum with clamping of the lower rotational surface on the upper rotational surface.

The disclosure includes a laminate tool and a process for producing laminate tooling with functional features between adjacent or non-adjacent laminate segments to provide mechanical leverage to demold a part, space for moving tool segments that allow features to be molded against the line of draw (eliminate die-locked conditions), and passageway for gas to travel. The disclosure further includes a laminate tool with channels in the laminate sheets that communicate at one end to a source of pressurized air and at its opposite end to the mold cavity. The channel permits forced air into the mold cavity to demold the part.
