A molding unit (1) for blow molding a container from a parison, the container including a wall portion and a base, the molding unit (1) including: a mold sidewall (2) extending along a main axis (X) and having an inner molding surface (3) defining a counter print of the wall portion of the container, and an opening (8) at a lower end of the inner molding surface (3), a cylinder jacket (10) fixed to the mold sidewall (2) and extending axially below the opening (8); a movable mold base (14) having a cylindrical bracket (17) slidingly received within the cylinder jacket (10) and a body (15) axially protruding from the bracket (17), a wear ring (33) fixed to the mold base (14), the wear ring (33) including a cylindrical guiding bushing (34) interposed between the bracket (17) and the cylinder jacket (10).

Provided is a manufacturing method for a double container that allows easy manufacturing with a molding device not significantly different from conventional devices and that can, at a lower cost than the processing cost of conventional technology, very easily and reliably form, in a comparatively rigid outer container and in a double container that allows, inside the outer container, capacity to be varied with respect to the amount of content, an opening for allowing external air to enter. When a pair of partial molds are brought near each other in order to form a split mold, at least part of the mating faces of the pair of partial molds forms a projection by sandwiching a small outer diameter portion of a parison, a gap that passes between the double container is created by cutting off the projection, and the gap is opened and expanded by screwing on a cap.

A tool including a tool body, the tool body including a substrate having a tool-side surface, an intermediate layer positioned over the tool-side surface, and an outer layer positioned over the intermediate layer, the outer layer including a metallic material.

Uniform hardenability is achieved in plastic injection mold and die block tooling of 20 inches and larger by the use of 0.05-0.20 vanadium in conjunction with low carbon steel in which ingots are hot worked to form mold and die blocks having cross sections of 20 inches and larger followed by water quenching and tempering.

The invention first relates to a method for welding at least two parts comprising a thermoplastic material and having respective surfaces to be welded, comprising: inserting an insert between the surfaces to be welded of the two parts; generating heat via said insert; wherein the insert moves in relation to the parts to be welded in a welding direction. The invention also relates to an installation adapted for implementation of this method.

A blemish free surface is formed on the cavity side of a set of mold or die blocks, said set consisting of a core side and a cavity side, by use of a softer alloy on the core side as contrasted to the cavity side so that, during plastic injection molding, the core side will wear at the parting line in preference to the cavity side whereby erosion of the set occurs on the core side in preference to the cavity side leaving the cavity side erosion free.

Techniques for producing panels such as for use in a vehicle, boat, aircraft or other transport structure or mechanical structure using a 3-D-printed tooling shell are disclosed. A 3-D printer may be used to produce a tooling shell containing Invar and/or some other material for use in molding the panels. A channel may be formed in a 3-D printed tooling shell for enabling resin infusion, vacuum generation or heat transfer. Alternatively, or in addition to, one or more hollow sections may be formed within the 3-D printed tooling shell for reducing a weight of the shell. The panel may be molded using the 3-D printed tooling shell.

According to one embodiment, a nozzle head includes a main body and a plurality of nozzles. The main body has a space in an interior of the main body. The space is capable of storing a source material liquid. The plurality of nozzles are conductive, are connected to the main body, and eject the source material liquid stored in the interior of the main body. An external dimension of one of the nozzles in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the nozzle is different from the external dimension of another one of the nozzles in the direction orthogonal to the extension direction of the nozzle.

A slider for slide fastener includes: a body including a pull tab attachment post; and a pull tab. The pull tab includes: a coupling member including an exposed portion and an embedded portion; and a pinching member including a first pinching portion including an annular end portion having an opening through which the embedded portion is to be inserted, and a second pinching portion provided to the first pinching portion with the embedded portion interposed therebetween. At least one of a front end surface and a rear end surface of the pull tab attachment post has a protrusion. And when the pull tab is tilted toward at least one of a front side and a rear side of the body, the protrusion locks the pull tab to restrict rotation of the pull tab.
