A method is proposed for transferring a bottom label and a wraparound label into an injection mould for producing an injection-moulded part provided with the labels, in that the bottom label is arranged on the end side and the wraparound label on the lateral side of an insert die and the insert die equipped with the two labels is introduced into the mould cavity of the moulding tool, after which the bottom label is deposited on the bottom and the wraparound label on the lateral surface of the mould cavity of the moulding tool, in order to back-mould them with a plastics material injected into the mould cavity. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps of:providing an insert die, the end side of which has a central portion and a circumferential portion adjoining the central portion radially on the outside, wherein the central portion protrudes further in the direction of the free end of the insert die in the axial direction of the latter than the circumferential portion, such that the cross section of the insert die narrows in the direction of its free end, at least in the circumferential portion of its end side;applying the bottom label both to the central portion and to the circumferential portion of the end side of the insert die and applying the wraparound label to the lateral side thereof such that the wraparound label projects beyond the end, fining the end side, of the lateral side of the insert die in the direction of the free end thereof;introducing the insert die equipped with the two labels into the mould cavity of the moulding tool;detaching the wraparound label from the lateral side of the insert die and applying same at least to the lateral surface of the mould cavity of the moulding tool;detaching the bottom label from the end side of the insert die and applying same to the bottom of the mould cavity of the moulding tool, wherein the peripheral region of the bottom label is turned down from the circumferential portion of the end side of the insert die onto the bottom of the mould cavity of the moulding tool, such that it internally overlaps the edge, facing it, of the wraparound label; andextracting the insert die from the mould cavity of the moulding tool. The invention also relates to an injection-moulding device, suitable for carrying out such a method, having an insert die of the abovementioned type.

An outsole component for use in an article of footwear is manufactured using a molding process that incorporates a second polymeric material with a film component including a first layer formed of a polymeric hydrogel material. The first layer forms the external or ground-facing layer of the outsole. Methods of manufacturing the outsole component, as well as articles of footwear including outsole component and methods of manufacturing such articles of footwear are also described.

Stator vanes for gas turbine engines and methods of producing the same are provided. The stator vanes include a body configured to be installed in a bypass of the gas turbine engine such that the body impinges a gas flow within the gas turbine engine during operation thereof. The body has a suction side wall configured to face away from the incoming gas flow and an oppositely disposed pressure side wall configured to face towards the incoming gas flow.

A method of producing a plastic molded part with an insert by injection molding uses an injection mold which includes first and second mold halves configured to form an injection molding cavity when closed. The first mold half includes a contour surface in which a linear vacuum slot extends. The linear vacuum slot is provided with transverse slots in order to form a band-shaped vacuum region, via which the insert is fixable to the contour surface by applying a vacuum. The method comprises inserting the insert into the first mold half, which is fixed to the contour surface by applying a vacuum to the contour surface by means of the band-shaped vacuum region. After the insert has been fixed, the plastic compound is injected into the injection molding cavity. After the plastic compound has solidified, the plastic molded part with insert is removed from the injection mold.

A mold and a method for molding rubber footwear with a lining are provided. The mold includes a combined outer mold and an inner mold. The combined outer mold has a first outer mold and a second outer mold, which are drivable to move towards each other for mold closing and move away from each other for mold opening.
