Adjustment mechanisms for items of headwear are disclosed. An adjustment mechanism for an item of headwear includes a first connection member secured to a first side of an opening formed into a backside of the piece of headwear and a second connection member secured to a second side of the opening opposite the first side. The first connection member includes a first plastic portion having a first spine extending from a first base, and a first moldable portion secured to the first plastic portion. The first spine has a plurality of posts. The second connection member includes a second plastic portion comprising a second spine extending from a second base, and a corresponding second moldable portion secured to the second plastic portion. The second spine has a plurality of apertures. A portion of the posts of the first connection member is selectively received into the apertures.

Disclosed are embodiments of a versatile storage bag and methods of making same. The versatile storage bag may have first and second sidewalls, a double-locking closure mechanism with a first closure element extending along the first sidewall and a second closure element extending along the second sidewall, each closure element having a channel and an elongated member configured for interlocking with one another. A double-seal along three sides of the first sidewall and the second sidewall form a gusset between two seals, leaving an opening through the double-locking closure mechanism. Corner seals may be formed at the corners of the first and second sidewalls, further reinforcing the double-locking closure mechanism for an airtight and hence waterproof seal. The versatile storage bag may be made of a food-grade polyethylene vinyl acetate blend, approximately 90% or less ethylene vinyl acetate and approximately 10% or less polyethylene.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a 3D article (1) by means of 3D printing, the method comprising the steps of: a) printing a 3D structure (1) extending in a first plane and comprising a first surface (4) and a second surface (4) being opposite to the first surface (4); b) cooling the 3D structure (1); c) heating the one of the first and the second surfaces (4, 4) of the 3D structure (1); d) deforming the 3D structure (1) in a second plane deviating from the first plane, such that a 3D article (1) is obtained; c) cooling the 3D article (1).

A cover anchor clip includes a base section having a plate shape extending in one direction, that is formed with through holes into which a foam body enters, and that is configured to be retained in the foam body; and an anchor portion including a pair of extension portions that extend upward from a surface of the base section and that are disposed facing each other, and a pair of anchor claws that are formed at respective leading ends of the pair of extension portions, and that is configured to anchor an anchored member attached to a cover for covering the foam body by sandwiching the anchored member therebetween. The through holes formed at the base section are aligned in the one direction, and plural hole-rows formed by the through holes aligned in the one direction are disposed separated by a spacing in an intersection direction intersecting the one direction. A gate mark that indicates an injection port for resin material during molding is formed at the back face of the base section between adjacent hole-rows. A plate thickness changing portion at which a thickness of the base section changes is formed between the gate mark and the through holes, as viewed from a back face of the base section along a plate thickness direction of the base section.

A system for manufacturing a two-part fastener may include a fastener-molding housing and an actuating assembly. The fastener-molding housing may include a fastener mold having a first mold section connected to a second mold section through a flash connection mold section. The fastener mold is configured to receive fastener-forming material to form a pre-engaged fastener having a first fastener portion within the first mold section and a second fastener portion within the second mold section. The first fastener portion is temporarily secured to the second fastener portion through a flash connection portion formed within the flash connection mold section. The an actuating assembly includes a stripper plate, a connecting member, and at least one ejection member. The connecting member is configured to securely retain the first fastener portion. The stripper plate is configured to be moved relative to the connecting member in order to drive one of the first or second fastener portions into the other of the first or second fastener portions to form a fully-formed fastener. The ejection member is configured to eject the fully-formed fastener from the actuating assembly.

An extruded integrated fastener assembly comprising a plurality of fasteners cut to length from an extruded length of material. Unwanted areas of material are cut away leaving the individual fasteners, which fasteners are also connected together by an expanse of material that remains. The fastener assembly can be single durometer or double durometer. A profile with retention members and/or leg features are formed in the fasteners for connecting to a predetermined component. The process for manufacturing the extruded integrated fastener assembly includes providing fabrication tooling suitable to cut away the unwanted area between the fasteners. The fasteners are thereby able to be cut to any desired length.

A method for thermoforming synthetic paper is provided, more concretely for thermoforming holding strips of synthetic paper, the strips being used to produce sheet-holding devices of a specific configuration. The devices can be used in the assembly of sheet holders such as calendars, white sheet dispensers or information cards.

A fastener clip assembly including a cap configured to be secured to a chassis through a chassis slot and a pin configured to be secured to a body panel. The pin is configured to be secured to the cap. The clip also includes a removable seal configured to be attached between the pin and the cap. The removable seal is configured to form a seal against the chassis based at least upon the pin being secured to the cap.

A fastener clip assembly including a cap configured to be secured to a chassis through a chassis slot and a pin configured to be secured to a body panel. The pin is configured to be secured to the cap. The clip further includes a funnel coupled to the cap and facing in a direction of insertion of the pin. The funnel is configured to guide the pin into the cap based at least upon inserting the pin into the cap off center.
