In a method of forming a synthetic resin structure integral with two-dimensional steel fabric, a warp and woof are made from a steel metal, and these wires are woven in a planar configuration to provide a two-dimensional steel fabric which is then pressed into a flat structure. Two flat structures are set at a metallic mold die, into which a synthetic resin is injected so as to form a synthetic resin body integral with the flat structures. This makes it possible to secure a sufficient space between the flat structures, and spread the synthetic resin fully into the flat structures so as to reinforce a surface of the synthetic resin body with durability and high rigidity. Through the toughness, strength and price of the steel metal, it is possible to provide a marketability with products manufactured by using the present method.

A mold component for forming a foamed part with a three-dimensional shape includes a magnetic block having a first face that defines a curved three-dimensional surface with a hook strip-receiving recess positioned above the magnetic block. The magnetic block is configured to be placed in a mold with a hook strip placed in the hook strip-receiving recess. The hook strip has a ferrous metal-containing component such that the magnetic block attracts and holds the hook strip with the hook strip conforming to the curved three-dimensional surface. Characteristically, the mold component is configured to be applied in a molding process to mold the three-dimensional shape in the foamed part wherein the hook strip attaches to a trim cover.

Provided is a method of thermoforming a molding material to have a bent portion and a flat portion extending from the bent portion. The method includes: placing the molding material on a bending mold, the bending mold having a curved surface; and forming the bent portion of the molding material by heating a portion of the molding material at least to a fluidization temperature such that the portion of the molding material bends due to the weight of the flat portion of the molding material to form the bent portion according to a shape of the bending mold.

The refrigerator foaming apparatus for foaming a refrigerator cabinet. The refrigerator foaming apparatus a foaming mold insertable into a side of a storage compartment through an opening of the storage compartment to seat an inner case of the refrigerator cabinet where an edge of the inner case includes a first flange, the foaming mold including a second flange which faces one surface of the first flange while the foaming mold is inserted into the side of the storage compartment. The foaming mold includes a magnet provided to bring the metal plate disposed in the seated inner case into close contact with the other surface of the first flange, and the magnet is provided at the second flange to be disposed to correspond to the metal plate disposed in the first flange while the foaming mold is inserted into the storage compartment.

An apparatus for manufacturing a resin molded product is configured to manufacture a resin molded product into which an elongated member is inserted. The apparatus for manufacturing the resin molded product includes a first mold having a first molding surface, and a second mold having a second molding surface. The first mold includes a protrusion. The protrusion protrudes from the first molding surface toward the second molding surface. The protrusion includes an end surface configured to come into contact with part of a first end surface of the elongated member. The second mold includes an accommodating recess, a holding portion disposed in the accommodating recess and configured to hold the elongated member with the protrusion, and a biasing member that is disposed in the accommodating recess and biases the holding portion toward the first molding surface.
