A method for producing a thermoplastic panel, including the steps of providing a rotary injection tool exhibiting a die cavity and featuring at least one lifter component within the cavity. The tool is positioned to orient the cavity in a first configuration during which a first shot injection molding of a doghouse is conducted onto a receiving location of the lifter component. The cavity is open and the tool rotated to reposition the cavity in a second configuration, following which a second shot injection molding operation is conducted for forming a skin of the panel in communication with the first shot doghouse clip. Following this, the mold is opened and the finished part removed.

The invention is characterized in that the straw body (1) is consisting of two or more segments, which are attached together with connection (5) and that the straw body (1) on its both ends has a cross-slit valve (2, 3) closure and the valves (2, 3) and the straw body (1) are integrated by molecular adhesion. The inlet and outlet valves (2, 3) are of a slit type. The straw body (1) is preferably made of a thermoplastic material and the valves (2, 3) are preferably made of elastomer material. The edge of the straw body (1) is shaped to enable larger surface of the connection between the straw body (1) and the valve (2, 3). The said shape is preferably a groove (8). On the wall on the end of the straw body (1) a tongue-shaped groove (9) is formed on the surface side.

A sealing device seals a gap between an inner member and an outer member that rotate relative to each other. The sealing device includes a sealing member. The sealing member includes a rigid ring including a sleeve part and a flange part, and an elastic ring adhering closely to both surfaces of the flange part. The elastic ring includes an annular circular part and water-discharging protrusions on a side of the sleeve part of the rigid ring. The elastic ring includes an annular part on a side opposite the sleeve part. A mold for manufacturing the sealing member includes a first mold including a cylindrical cavity in which the sleeve part is supported, an annular circular cavity for forming the circular part, protrusion cavities for forming the water-discharging protrusions, and posts disposed in the circular cavity and being brought into contact with the flange part of the rigid ring.

The present disclosure relates to a modular mat system. More particularly, the disclosure is directed to a modular mat system with that may be built out using common pieces of mats. Specifically, a modular mat system with a mat piece with a top plate with inserts, a bottom plate with a plurality of tabs and recesses operative to engage with further mat pieces to build a mat system is discussed. The modular mat system is operative to remove water and other detritus from shoes of a user or other such platform moving across the mat system and feed it to a perimeter drain below the system.

A hollow article such as an active bolster for an automobile is formed of an injection molded panel having a ridge and furrow adjacent a panel perimeter and an injection molded sheet having a bonding section at a sheet outer periphery, wherein the bonding section is within the furrow. An injection molded bond is formed between the bonding section and furrow, wherein a compression area where the sheet overlies a region of the panel adjacent the furrow is configured to constrain the bond to the furrow. An associated process and system facilitates mold alignment, part alignment, material strength, design adaptability, efficient processing, reduced labor, increased production rates, reduced energy consumption per part, aesthetically pleasing surfaces, and reduces or eliminates the need for a separate welding operation.

A keycap forming method includes the following steps. Firstly, a stabilizer bar is fixed on a first male mold. Then, a keycap is formed through a second male mold and a female mold according to an injection molding process. Then, the second male mold and the female mold are separated from each other, so that the keycap is fixed on the female mold. Then, the first male mold and the female mold are stacked on each other, so that the stabilizer bar and the keycap are combined together. Then, the first male mold and the female mold are separated from each other. Consequently, the stabilizer bar is detached from the first male mold. By using the keycap forming method, it is not necessary to manually assemble the stabilizer bar with the keycap.

A transfer system which can be used in a flexible manner for transporting or processing, respectively, profiles, in which the injection device comprises a mold for receiving the profile during the injection, wherein the mold has at least two contour parts and the injection device has a closing unit for opening/closing the contour parts, wherein the closing unit is configured for keeping the contour parts open until the profile is enclosed by the contour parts, and wherein the transportation device is configured for moving, preferably not rotating, the profile exclusively parallel to the transportation path, wherein the closing unit and the injection device are assembled so as to be displaceable conjointly with the first feed table, and the first feed table in the direction of the transportation path is displaceable so far until the contour parts enclose the profile.

An injection molding machine for a composite molded product is an injection molding machine for a composite molded product, in which an injection device or a rotary table is arrayed with a movable platen attached with a movable metal mold and the injection device or the rotary table is driven using an electric motor, wherein, at any position below, side, or rear of the movable platen, a plurality of cableveyors, and which house cables, and connected to the movable metal mold or the movable platen or connected to the injection device in addition to the movable metal mold or the movable platen is disposed in parallel to one another so that longitudinal directions of the cableveyors coincide with a mold opening/closing direction A of the movable platen.
