Discloses is a method for manufacturing a dual cosmetic container. The method includes: molding an inner preform 40 or 40a formed with a patterned portion having one or more shapes selected from characters, pictures, figures, and helical grooves on the outer surface thereof using an upper mold 10 for the inner preform having a molding space 11 and formed with a pattern molding portion 12a on the inner circumferential surface thereof and an lower mold 14 for the inner preform having a molding space 15 for a discharge portion; inserting the inner preform 40 or 40a into a molding space 21 of an upper mold 20 for an outer preform, fixing a discharge portion 41 of the inner preform 40 or 40a to a lower mold 23 for the outer preform, feeding a liquid raw material into the molding space 21 of the upper mold 20 for the outer preform, and molding the outer preform 50 in close contact with the outer surface of the inner preform 40 or 40a formed with the patterned portion 42; and simultaneously heating the inner preform 40 or 40a and the outer preform 50 molded in close contact with each other, inserting the two heated preforms into a molding space 31 of a blow mold 30, inserting a blow tube 32 into the discharge portion 41 of the inner preform 40 or 40a, and simultaneously expanding the inner preform 40 or 40a and the outer preform 50 by blow molding to manufacture the desired dual cosmetic container in which an inner container 100 or 100a and an outer container 200 are in close contact with each other.

An automated manufacturing method and system and in-mold coated plastic article produced thereby are provided. The system includes a compression mold and a plurality of program-controlled manipulators. An automatic sprayer supported on a first manipulator sprays at least a portion of a mold surface with an in-mold coating composition. An end effector supported on a second manipulator picks up a heated blank of moldable plastic sheet material from an oven and places the heated blank between upper and lower mold halves of the mold. An inner portion of the heated blank is forced into an article-defining cavity of the mold and into contact with at least a portion of the in-mold coating composition. The in-mold coating composition and the inner portion of the heated blank cure and bond to one another so as to form the coated plastic article.

Methods for producing a transfer film (1), in particular IMD transfer film (1), wherein the following steps are carried out, in particular in the specified order: preparing a carrier ply (3), preparing a transfer ply (2) having a decorative ply (21), wherein the transfer ply (2) has been or is arranged on the carrier ply (3), applying one or more forming elements (40) to the carrier ply (3), wherein the one or more forming elements (40) have a three-dimensional shape and are applied register-accurately with respect to the decorative ply (21).

A method for coating a plastic injection-molded article with the transfer film, as well as the transfer film and the plastic injection-molded article.

Tooling for manufacturing a vehicle panel having a substrate, a foam layer, and a decorative covering. The tooling includes a tool base having a tool aperture, and an insert having a sealing projection. The insert is located at least partially in the tool aperture. The sealing projection is configured to create a seal between the substrate and the decorative covering at least partially around a substrate aperture in the substrate. The substrate aperture is at least partially smaller than the tool aperture so as to form an overlapping seal area between the sealing projection of insert and the substrate. A manufacturing method can create a foam-less region between the decorative covering and the substrate.

A decorative sheet comprises a transparent resin layer containing a polyolefin-based resin, and a surface protective layer containing a thermosetting resin and provided on a front surface side of the transparent resin layer. Further, an uneven pattern is provided on a front surface of the surface protective layer. A percentage of a surface waviness of the decorative sheet after molding to a surface waviness of the decorative sheet before molding, which is defined as a residual embossing ratio, is 30% or more; and an absolute value of a difference between a gloss of a surface of the decorative sheet before molding and a gloss of the surface of the decorative sheet after molding, which is defined as a gloss difference, is less than 5%.

The present invention relates to a two-step process for the production of virtual three-dimensional patterns in polymeric mouldings with the aid of injection-moulding processes, in particular a process in which a conventional injection-moulding process are combined with a reactive injection-moulding process in a suitable manner in order to obtain polymeric mouldings having a virtual three-dimensional pattern which is visible on one surface and is formed by flake-form effect pigments, and to the polymeric mouldings produced by means of this process and to the use thereof, in particular for decorative purposes.

A door module for a vehicle door, having at least one region, which is substantially formed by an organosheet. In particular, the door module has at least two different types of organosheet, by means of which different regions of the door module are formed.

A method for producing a component, and an injection-molding device. In the method. the following steps are carried out, in particular in succession: closing an injection mold, injection molding a base body by introducing a first plastic material into a first injection-molding cavity, opening the injection mold, stamping one or more first film elements and removing the component from the mold.

To provide a glass plate with resin frame and a method for producing a glass plate with resin frame, by which high gloss of a design surface with a color expressed by a decorative molding can be achieved.

A glass plate 10 with resin frame, which comprises a glass plate 12, a resin frame 14 provided on a peripheral portion of the glass plate 12, and a decorative molding 16 disposed on the resin frame 14, the resin frame 14 being formed integrally with the glass plate 12 and the decorative molding 16, wherein the decorative molding 16 is a transparent design film, and when the glass plate 10 with resin frame is attached to a vehicle, the decorative molding 16 is disposed on the vehicle exterior side.

A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.
