A connector (1) includes a plurality of connector terminals (3), core resin portions (2A), (2B), nuts (4) and an outer resin portion (5). A plurality of the nuts (4) are arranged to face a nut facing surface (21A) of the core resin portion (2A). The outer resin portion (5) covers the core resin portions (2A), (2B) and the nuts (4) with exposed surfaces (25) of the core resin portions (2A), (2B) and outer end surfaces (41) of the nuts (4) exposed. Injection marks (51) during molding of the outer resin portion (5) are formed on a surface of a part of the outer resin portion (5) covering an opposite side surface (22B) located on a side opposite to the nut facing surface (21A).

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 solenoid valve includes a housing, a valve element provided in the housing to open and close a valve port, and a resin-molded guide member that includes a support portion supporting the valve element to be slidable in an axial direction, and an attachment portion attached to and in contact with an inner side of the housing. The guide member further includes an intermediate joint portion connecting the attachment portion and the support portion. The attachment portion is larger in shape in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction than the intermediate joint portion. The support portion extends in the axial direction from the intermediate joint portion. The guide member has an injection-molding gate mark on an outer face of the attachment portion.

An insert-molded container in which a secondary container made of transparent synthetic resin is integrally provided to the outside of a primary container, the secondary container includes a gate mark, and a vapor-deposited layer is provided on the outer surface of the primary container in a peripheral area of the gate mark is manufactured by a manufacturing method of insert-molded container. The method includes: a cover attaching step of attaching a cover member made of transparent synthetic resin to the outer surface of a part of the primary container where a vapor-deposited layer is provided; a placing step of placing the primary container in a mold with the cover member facing a gate; and an insert molding step of injecting a transparent synthetic resin material from the gate.

A resin molded article manufacturing method comprises forming a cavity having a shape corresponding to a resin molded article by bringing a plurality of resin molding dies into contact with each other, and forming the resin molded article by injecting a resin directly from a resin ejection port into a resin injection gate and filling the cavity with the resin. The forming of the resin molded article includes filling the cavity with the resin while changing a flow of the resin that is headed from the resin injection gate directly toward the cavity by a resin flow changing section that is provided opposite the resin injection gate.

A prism (1090) is configured from a dielectric medium and is used in analysis using surface plasmons. The prism (1090) is provided with an incidence surface (1170) on which excitation light from outside is incident, a reflection surface (1172) on which excitation light having entered the incidence surface (1170) is reflected, an emission surface (1174) from which excitation light reflected by the reflection surface (1172) is emitted, and an opposing surface (1175) opposing the reflection surface (1172). A gold film (1092) is formed on the reflection surface (1172). The opposing surface (1175) has a sink-mark surface (1200), and the sink-mark surface (1200) is a transparent surface.

A resin part includes a molded main body that has a plate shape with a longitudinal direction and is constituted of an injection-molded product. The resin part has a gate portion that is a vestige of a resin injection gate. The gate portion is located in an end face part of the molded main body to cross a position corresponding to a center of gravity of the molded main body; the end face part extends in the longitudinal direction of the molded main body.

The present disclosure provides a vehicular interior material. The vehicular interior material includes a skin layer having a thickness of 1.25-1.8 mm and a garnish layer having a thickness of 2.4-2.75 mm and positioned on the lower surface of the skin layer. The skin layer and the garnish layer are integrally formed through injection molding such that the skin layer surrounds a side wall of the garnish layer.

An injection mold including a gate and a cavity, where a weld portion is formed inside the cavity by injecting molten resin containing reinforcing fibers from the gate into the cavity, the injection mold has a resin reservoir open to the cavity, and in a first cross section along an opening end surface 110S of the resin reservoir 110 to the cavity, a distance CLD between a width center line CL11 of the resin reservoir and a width center line of the cavity, which is measured along a perpendicular line n12 of the width center line CL12 of the cavity, changes at least in part along the width center line of the cavity.
