The present invention provides a die assembly for molding a resin-made insert having a sleeve that is inserted into an intake port of an internal combustion engine. Each sleeve has one inlet and two outlets. The die assembly includes an inner die and an outer die. The inner die includes an inlet side part and an outlet side part. The inlet side part and the outlet side part mold an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve in an assembled state, and are removed in mutually opposite directions. By means of this assembly, a sleeve having a complicated structure and shape can be molded easily.

Described are methods for producing at least a part of a sporting good, in particular a sports shoe. According to one aspect of the invention, the method includes the steps of: (a) depositing a first material into a mold and (b) vibrating the mold to modify the distribution of the first material in the mold.

The invention relates to a spherical receiving device for receiving at least one rotational mold, which is configured and intended to be driven to rotate in a rotational device by means of a drive wheel rolling on the outer side of the spherical receiving device. The spherical receiving device is distinguished by the fact that it has at least one guiding device which causes a drive wheel rolling on the outer side of the spherical receiving device to follow a predetermined rolling path on the outer side of the spherical receiving device. The invention also relates to a rotational device which has such a spherical receiving device and a drive wheel which is driven by means of a drive motor, said drive wheel rolling on the outer side of the spherical receiving device and driving the spherical receiving device to rotate.
