A mold device includes a primary mold and a secondary mold. The primary mold includes a cavity mold and a primary core mold. The primary mold is configured to inject a first resin material into a first cavity to mold a primary molded product, the first cavity being formed by clamping the cavity mold and the primary core mold. The secondary mold includes the cavity mold and a secondary core mold. The secondary mold is configured to inject a second resin material into a second cavity to stack mold a secondary molded product on a peripheral edge of the primary molded product. The second cavity is formed by clamping the cavity mold and the secondary core mold. The cavity mold is configured to hold the primary molded product. The cavity mold includes a primary molded product holding portion configured to project into and retract from the first cavity, on a parting line of the primary mold. The secondary core mold includes a slide portion configured to project into and retract from the second cavity on a parting line of the secondary mold. The slide portion having a shape that complements the primary molded product holding portion. At the time of mold opening in primary molding, the primary molded product holding portion protrudes into the first cavity locks an end surface of the primary molded product to hold the primary molded product in the cavity mold. At the time of mold clamping in secondary molding, the primary molded product holding portion retracts from the second cavity and the slide portion slides relative to the primary molded product holding portion to protrude into the second cavity, to define the second cavity.

Disclosed is a two-color molded front cover of a vehicular lamp. The front cover includes a light transmissive resin portion, and a black resin portion integrally molded on a part of a peripheral edge portion (first surface) of the light transmissive resin portion. A cover portion formed by a part of the black resin portion is formed on a peripheral side portion (second surface) of the light transmissive resin portion which is adjacent to the peripheral edge portion. Since a non-uniform black resin portion is not formed on the peripheral side surface of the light transmissive resin portion, the appearance of the light transmissive resin portion of the front cover is improved.

Exemplary embodiments are provided of molding designs and methods for helical antennas. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes placing an antenna element between a top mold core and a first bottom mold core, and injecting molding material into a first mold cavity defined by at least the top mold core, thereby forming a top portion of a helical antenna housing and two opposite side portions of the helical antenna housing. The method also includes removing the first bottom mold core and placing a second bottom mold core about the antenna element, and injecting molding material into a second mold cavity defined by at least the second bottom mold core, thereby forming a bottom portion of the helical antenna housing.

An interior door handle arrangement of a vehicle, includes a housing and an actuating section which is arranged on the housing, wherein the housing and/or the actuating section have/has a carrier section made from a first plastic and a visible section made from another, second material which is connected to the carrier section in an integrally joined manner. A method for producing such an interior door handle arrangement is also provided.

The invention relates to a method for producing a syringe with an integrated closure element, which method comprises the following method steps: a) making available an injection moulding tool which comprises a first, a second and a third tool portion, wherein the first tool portion has a mould cavity open at both sides and extending along an axial direction (X), and wherein the second tool portion has a first injection moulding core and the third tool portion has a second injection moulding core; b) closing the injection moulding tool such that the first tool portion contacts the second and third tool portion, and the first and second injection moulding core each enter the mould cavity of the first tool portion through an opening and finally contact each other, as a result of which these tool portions form a first structural cavity; c) injecting a first plastic material into the first structural cavity, as a result of which a hollow cylindrical syringe body is formed with an end region at its distal end, wherein the end region has an attachment element, provided with an inner thread, and a hollow cylindrical endpiece which is at least partially bounded by the attachment element; d) cooling the tool portions, as a result of which the syringe body cools and hardens; e) bringing the first tool portion into contact with a fourth tool portion provided with a mould cavity closed at one end, as a result of which a second structural cavity is formed at the distal end of the syringe body; f) injecting a second plastic material into the second structural cavity, as a result of which the closure element is integrally formed on the attachment element, wherein the first and the second plastic material do not enter into a cohesive connection.

An imaging lens assembly includes a dual molded optical element, a plurality of imaging lens elements and a light blocking element. The dual molded optical element has an object-side surface and an image-side surface and includes a light transmitting portion and a light absorbing portion. The light transmitting portion includes an optical effective section. The light absorbing portion is located on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the dual molded optical element, and a plastic material of the light absorbing portion and a plastic material of the light transmitting portion are different colors. The imaging lens elements are disposed in the inner space of the imaging lens assembly. The light blocking element is disposed adjacent to the light transmitting portion of the dual molded optical element.

According to some exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to exemplary polypropylene tubes and the methods of making such, including, molding a polypropylene tube with a rounded bottom and an opening, moving the molded polypropylene tube to a secondary position, electrostatically attaching a second shot label to a flat cavity surface opposite the rounded bottom of the molded polypropylene tube, injecting polypropylene through an opening in the mold, and forming a flattened surface on top of the rounded bottom, the flattened surface encompassing and displaying an exterior side of the second shot label.

A method for making a cleated plate member for an article of footwear is described. The method includes a number of steps where various molds are used to form different components of the cleated plate member. A collar receptacle is formed using a first molding process. A cleat member is formed from a non-compatible material with a fastener of the cleat member associated with the collar receptacle using another molding process to form a combined cleat assembly. The combined cleat assembly is placed into corresponding receptacles in a mold used to form the cleated plate member. The cleated plate member is formed using another molding process that embeds the collar receptacle into the body of the cleated plate member. The completed cleated plate member includes releasably attached cleat members.

A method of manufacturing a fluidic device includes molding either one of the base member and the valve part with a first mold; and molding the other one of the base member and the valve part with a second mold with respect to the molded base member or the molded valve part.
