A connector with a first substantially cylindrical section having a cavity with a spring-loaded ball-snap element comprising a ball and a spring. An at least partially conically shaped section connecting the first substantially cylindrical section and a second substantially cylindrical section. The first and the second substantially cylindrical sections and the at least partially conically section define a longitudinal length extension. The first substantially cylindrical section and the second substantially cylindrical section are off-center with respect to the longitudinal length extension. A head having a hollow portion is dimensioned to receive the second substantially cylindrical section, the at least partially conically shaped section and a part of the first substantially cylindrical section. The hollow portion has an inner wall with a circular recess dimensioned to receive the ball, removably attaching the head to the second substantially cylindrical section.

An actuator cap (1; 50) for a fluid spray dispenser comprises a second body part (2) and a first body part (3). The first body part (3) is adapted for connection to a container for the fluid to be dispensed and incorporates a spray channel arrangement (4). The second body part (2) incorporates an actuator button (5) and is rotatable with respect to the first body part (3) from a first position in which the actuator button (5) is non-elevated into a second position in which the actuator button (5) is elevated and capable of depression to cause depression of a part (16) of the spray channel arrangement (4). The actuator button (4) defines a first cam profile (20) along which a first cam follower (22) defined by the first body part (3) travels to cause elevation or retraction of the actuator button (5) when the second body part (3) is rotated. The actuator button (5) also defines a second cam profile (23) that bears against said part (21) of the spray channel arrangement (4) such that when the actuator button (5) is in its elevated position and depressed the actuator button (5) depresses the second cam profile (23) and in turn depresses the part (21) of the spray channel arrangement (4) relative to the first body part (3) to dispense fluid from the container when in use. Preferably, the first and second body parts (3, 2) are individual, integrally moulded components that are snap-fitted together to assemble the actuator cap (1; 50).

A manufacturing method for a pressure tank includes disposing a preform, in which a fiber layer is formed on an outer surface of a liner that forms an internal space of a pressure tank, within a mold, and rotating the preform in a circumferential direction within the mold with a central axis of the preform as a rotation center while resin is injected toward the preform disposed within the mold from a gate.

Disclosed herein is an in-mold electronics (IME) structure. The IME structure includes a film, a first plastic resin positioned under the film, and a second plastic resin positioned under the first plastic resin. An electronic circuit is formed on a top or bottom surface of the second plastic resin by a plating method and also electronic elements are mounted thereon. The electronic elements include LED light sources, a plurality of protruding light guides configured to guide lighting through distribution and direction is formed on the top surface of the second plastic resin, and the LED light sources are installed in respective spaces provided by the light guides.

A boot for a shaft assembly joint and method of construction thereof are provided. The boot has a flexible hollow wall extending about a central axis between a first end and a second end. The first end has a skirt portion configured for snug engagement with an outer surface of a housing of the constant velocity joint and the second end has a neck portion configured for snug engagement with an outer surface of a shaft extending away from the constant velocity joint. At least one of the skirt portion and the neck portion has interior surface formed of a first material having a first coefficient of friction and an exterior surface formed of a second material having a second coefficient of friction, the first coefficient of friction being greater than the second coefficient of friction.

A tool for the injection molding of plastic molded parts has two tool halves movable in relation to each other, one of which has a mold plate carrying at least one mold insert with a multiplicity of mold cavities, or a mold plate with a mold insert support platen, which carries at least one mold insert with a multiplicity of mold cavities. The mold cavities are designed to form molded parts in conjunction with complementary cavities present on the second of the tool halves. The mold insert of each mold cavity is assigned a slide, which is arranged movably over or in a cavity-side surface of the mold insert. The slide has at least one guide element in engagement with a counterpart guide element in the mold insert. A connection bolt extends from the slide in the direction of the mold plate or of the mold insert support platen and is guided in a guide groove of a rotary ring. A plurality of connection bolts of a plurality of slides are arranged circumferentially along the circumference of the rotary ring, distributed in a corresponding number of guide grooves, and the rotary ring is connected to a drive ring arranged on the mold plate or the mold insert support platen.

Method of analysis. In the method, a microfluidic device defining a flow path extending from an inlet to an outlet may be selected. A sample-containing fluid may be introduced into the flow path via the inlet. Volumes of the sample-containing fluid may be isolated from one another on the flow path. A two-dimensional monolayer of the volumes may be imaged. The two-dimensional monolayer may be formed along the flow path between the inlet and the outlet.

A boot for a shaft assembly joint and method of construction thereof are provided. The boot has a flexible hollow wall extending about a central axis between a first end and a second end. The first end has a skirt portion configured for snug engagement with an outer surface of a housing of the constant velocity joint and the second end has a neck portion configured for snug engagement with an outer surface of a shaft extending away from the constant velocity joint. At least one of the skirt portion and the neck portion has interior surface formed of a first material having a first coefficient of friction and an exterior surface formed of a second material having a second coefficient of friction, the first coefficient of friction being greater than the second coefficient of friction.

A process for producing molded products having portions formed with two separate materials is provided. The process involves forming a first component over a structural core in a first step, and forming a second component that is secured to the first component and the core in a second step. The second component can be formed directly over the first component or can be secured thereto after formation. The first and second components can additionally be formed with indicia thereon, or with recesses within which inserts containing the desired indicia can be positioned. Additionally, the first component can be formed with a ridge disposed on a projection formed on the first component that effectively seals off a portion of the first component when the second component is formed around the core and the first component to ensure the portion of the first component surrounded by the ridge remains visible after formation of the second component.
