20220176785 · 2022-06-09 ·

A vehicle-window glass assembly includes a vehicle-window glass and its injection-molded encapsulation; and an over-molded bolt including a base, a thread rod and an injection-molded part. One end of the thread rod is fixedly connected to the base, and the injection-molded part covers at least a part of the base. The injection-molded encapsulation covers at least a part of the injection-molded part such that the over-molded bolt and the vehicle-window glass are fixed to each other, and a material of the injection-molded part has a tensile strength greater than that of a material of the injection-molded encapsulation. This vehicle-window glass assembly can b e adapted to various vehicle models with a large gap between a surface of a vehicle-window glass and a vehicle-door sheet metal on which the vehicle-window glass requires to be mounted.

20220168915 · 2022-06-02 ·

A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface. A guard is at the front of the housing. A cap is at a rear of the housing. At least one blade is mounted to the housing between the guard and the cap. The housing has a wall defining an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface that is configured to receive a portion of a handle. The wall having a pair of arms each with a distal end extending toward each other defining a gap. The bridge is a thermo-plastic elastomer that is different than a polymeric material of the housing.

Oral care implement having multi-component handle

A method of forming a handle for an oral care implement. The method may include first forming a core structure out of a first hard plastic. Next, an elongated handle body may be formed out of a second hard plastic, whereby during formation the elongated handle body is made to partially surround the core structure, while leaving opposing surfaces of the core structure exposed. Finally, a grip cover may be formed out of a resilient material and positioned over at least a portion of the elongated handle body. The oral care implement handle formed by the method may include a handle having an elongated handle body and a core structure. The elongated handle body may have openings in opposing surfaces. The core structure may be partially surrounded by the elongated handle body while protruding from the openings.

Methods of overmolding softer material with harder material and moisture tight container assemblies made by the methods

A method of over-molding materials includes: providing a first material in a groove in a first portion of a mold such that only a single surface of the first material is exposed to a vacant portion of the mold; providing, via an injection molding process, a second material in a liquid form in the vacant portion of the mold adjacent to, and in engagement with, the first material; and allowing the second material to solidify and become directly coupled to the first material, thus forming a single component. The second material has one or both of a greater hardness when solidified than the first material and/or a higher melting temperature than the first material.

Footwear cleat
11330869 · 2022-05-17 · ·

The present disclosure relates generally to traction devices for footwear. In some embodiments, cleats are provided that are operable to provide preexisting articles of footwear with enhanced grip, traction and performance. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure comprise a threaded male extension for interfacing with a preexisting shoe sole and at least one projecting gripping element for contacting or extending toward a ground surface.

MULTI-COMPARTMENT BEVERAGE BOTTLE SYSTEM AND METHOD

Embodiments of a multi-compartment beverage bottle system and methods of manufacturing the system are disclosed. First and second housing elements are in mutual engagement with one another to at least partially define a fluid vessel with a fluid cavity therein. The fluid cavity includes a first fluid compartment and a second fluid compartment. The first housing element is rotatable between a storage position and a mix position with respect to the second housing element. A shuttle element is disposed within the fluid cavity and axially actuatable along the main axis into and out of a seal position. Rotation of the first housing element toward the storage position actuates the shuttle element toward the seal position. Rotation of the first housing element toward the mix position actuates the shuttle element away from the seal position, thereby placing the first and second fluid compartments into fluid communication with one another for mixing.
