A method and device for the automatic fitting of vehicle registration plates with data carriers. A plurality of work stations interlinked by at least one conveyor are provided for this purpose. The work stations are equipped with handling devices and associated imaging devices. As a result, a respective data carrier can be automatically gripped and placed in its precise position in the opening and prefixed there. The data carriers are then each cast automatically in the opening for the permanent fixation of the data carrier in the opening of the registration plate.

A mounting element, i.e., a retaining element or clip, for mounting a terminal element at a component housing of a component body by extrusion-coating the component body at least in part with a coating material, which is designed (i) for holding and positioning a terminal element at a component housing of a component body while the component body is being extrusion-coated with a coating material, and (ii) for accommodating at least in part in the interior of a molding tool during the coating, (iii) which includes at least two support elements, and (iv) in which the at least two support elements are designed so that they are supported at an inner surface of the molding tool when the mounting element is held at the component housing of the component body while the component body and the mounting element are accommodated in the interior of the molding tool.

Three-dimensional decorative articles are produced from blanks of heat-shrinkable plastic sheet material, using a mold base having an outer surface with a recess over which a blank is placed, and a convex mold insert that moves into the recess by gravity as the blank softens and cooperates with the interior wall of the recess to shape the sheet material into a three-dimensional decorative article. A guide peg extends outward from the bottom of the recess past the outer surface of the mold base and extends through a hole formed in the blank, and through a guide hole in the mold insert to support the mold insert before heating and to guide the mold insert as it moves into the recess of the mold base.

A method for decorative molding capable of reducing a preparation time at the time of replacing a mold and expecting improvement in positioning accuracy of a decorative pattern in a molded article includes supplying a film on which a decorative pattern is formed between a first mold and a second mold in a mold open state of a mold, imaging a mold-side alignment mark recorded in the mold and a film-side alignment mark recorded in the film by a camera, positioning the film with respect to the mold by moving the film so that the film-side alignment mark comes close to the mold-side alignment mark, injecting resin into the mold in a mold closed state in which the film is sandwiched between the first mold and the second mold and cooling the resin to form a molded article and opening the mold and taking out the molded article in which the decorative pattern of the film is transferred to the surface.

Device for protecting a fastening insert to overmould the fastening insert with a plastic material using a mould, the fastening insert having a fastening member, characterised in that wherein the device comprises: piercing means adapted to pierce at least one sheet of plastic material; means for sealing the fastening member to prevent infiltration of plastic material on the fastening member during an overmoulding operation.

An injection-molded component having a casing body of plastics material and a core which is made of a core material, in particular of a metal, which is at least partially received within the casing body and is at least partially insert-molded. The injection-molded component may in particular serve as a joint part of a joint. As a result of the preferably metallic core, the injection-molded component, despite comparatively small dimensioning, is capable of being comparatively highly stressed. By virtue of the casing body of plastics material, a minor actuation noise may be implemented for the joint, even without complex lubrication.

The invention provides a device module that can be manufactured with a die. The device module includes a plastic part, a device, a holder, and an external connection. The device is embedded in the plastic part. The holder is embedded in the plastic part and includes an exposed portion exposed from the plastic part in a thickness direction of the plastic part in such a manner as to close a housing recess of the die. The external connection is connected to the device and partially fixed to the holder. The external connection includes a lead-out portion insertable in the housing recess of the die. The lead-out portion is embedded in the plastic part and being led out of the plastic part in the thickness direction. Alternatively, the lead-out portion is led through and out of the holder in the thickness direction.

A method for producing a resin member including a conductive paste layer and a feed portion that can suitably fix an insert member in place relative to a mold without leaving a part having no relationship with the structural members of the final product within the insert member, and a method for connecting the resin member produced with such a method to an external feed member. The method includes storing an insert member including an exterior resin film with a conductive paste layer, and a first magnetic attractor to become a feed portion into a cavity of a mold including a second magnetic attractor; positioning and fixing the insert member in the cavity using magnetic attractive force of the first and the second magnetic attractors; and injecting resin into the cavity to form a resin panel, thereby integrating the insert member with the resin panel to produce a resin member.

The present disclosure relates to a monobloc tool for the production of laminated molded parts. The tool includes an effective surface area facing the molded part to be laminated, a usable surface area facing a tool holder for securing the tool 1, at least one fluid duct 4 passing through without kinks and arranged in the interior near the face of the effective surface area, and at least one cavity arranged between the fluid duct and the usable surface area.
