A method for manufacturing a wheel including a step (a) during which a liquid to be polymerised is cast into a first mould so as to solidify same into a tubular preform, with main axis, the first mould including modelling cores in order to form recesses, of the rib type, in the radial thickness of the tubular preform; followed by a cutting step (b), during which the tubular preform is cut perpendicular to the main axis thereof, and secant to the recesses, so as to obtain a tubular preform section forming a rim; followed by an overmoulding step (d), during which said rim is placed in a second mould, concentrically with a central supporting member, such as a bushing or a shaft, and a polymer filling material is injected so as to create an intermediate disc that provides the attachment of the rim to the central supporting member.

A steering wheel damper for a vehicle, and a manufacturing method thereof, the method includes putting a plate which is directly fixed to a steering wheel and has a plurality of through holes and a mass member having a predetermined weight to reduce vibration and a central pin in a mold in order, injection-molding rubber, and molding a connection member for connecting the plate and the mass member and a cushion member for limiting movement of the mass member. Therefore, the steering wheel damper and the manufacturing method thereof can simplify the manufacturing process, improve productivity, and enhance durability and marketability since the plate, the mass member and the connection member are firmly coupled and movement of the mass member is limited so that the mass member does not collide with surrounding components while the vehicle is shaken.

A method of manufacturing a decorated molding article includes: forming an all-in-one coating on a substrate and performing a curing step, thereby forming a composite layer structure with a protective effect, a color effect, and a bonding effect. Compared with the printing layer in the conventional In Mold Label (IML) and InSert molding (INS) that is made by a plurality of anti-impact and bonding processes, the composite layer structure of the embodiment can form a molded film with better physical properties (e.g., higher hardness, better protection effect, etc.) after the blister molding process. Therefore, the molded film of the embodiment can be applied to a laser engraving process to form a variety of light-transmitting decorative molded products. Further, the present disclosure further forms a protective layer locally in the grooves formed after the laser engraving process, so as to protect the texture after the laser engraving process from damage.

A bird spike is insertion molded, using a technique in which a wire that forms at least one of the spikes is bent while coupled to one of the mold parts, and a molten plastic is injected about at least a bent portion of the bent first wire. The wire can be bent before the mold closes but after attachment to the mold, while the mold is closing, and/or after the mold is closed. The wire can be bent in any suitable manner, preferably having first and second bends of at least 60, and a bump of at least 1 mm between the first and second bends. A robot arm can be used to concurrently secure multiple straight wires from a wire holder platform, and positioned them onto the mold part.

A method can be applied for manufacturing an electrical connector on an end portion of a multi-wire electrical cable whose wires are surrounded annularly in cross section in the end portion by an outer conductor. The outer conductor is partially radially compressed toward the wires by at least one die, and is also partially provided with an overmold in an injection mold. In the method, after the outer conductor is deformed, the die is positioned on the outer conductor in such a way that the die partially bounds a mold cavity to be filled with a plasticized molding compound to form the overmold. At least one mold part of the injection mold is moved toward the outer conductor and the mold part is positioned in a vicinity of the outer conductor so to further bound the mold cavity.

Disclosed herein are a real wood film and a method of manufacturing an injection-molded real wood product by using the real wood film. The real wood film includes: a sliced veneer; a non-woven fabric adhered to the bottom surface of the sliced veneer by means of a non-aqueous adhesive, and configured to protect the sliced veneer from moisture; a formation improvement layer adhered to the bottom surface of the non-woven fabric, and configured to prevent the sliced veneer from being wrinkled due to heat applied to the sliced veneer and prevent a crack from occurring; and a thermoplastic adhesive layer adhered to the bottom surface of the formation improvement layer, and configured to enable adhesion to injected resin.

A method for producing a housing having shielding against electric and/or magnetic radiation is provided, in which an electrically and/or magnetically conductive foil is formed into a shape corresponding to and inner or an outer wall of a housing made of an electrically and/or magnetically non-conductive material, and the foil is arranged on the inner or outer wall of the housing. The foil shape may be formed separate from the foils application to the inner or outer wall of the housing, or may be shaped in conjunction with the forming of the non-conductive housing.

A composite molded article (3) containing: a thermoplastic resin continuous fiber composite material (1) containing a continuous reinforcement fiber (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B); and a thermoplastic resin composition (2), wherein the thermoplastic resin continuous fiber composite material (1) is bonded to the thermoplastic resin composition (2) via a bonding surface, and a bonded part between the thermoplastic resin continuous fiber composite material (1) and the thermoplastic resin composition (2) has a tensile strength which is 0.35 times or more as strong as a tensile strength of the thermoplastic resin composition (2).

A lacrosse head pocket and a related method of manufacture are provided to facilitate consistent, repeatable and/or custom manufacture of lacrosse equipment. The pocket can be constructed from multiple different sections joined with one another, or can be knitted, weaved or otherwise assembled on an automated assembly machine from strands, and/or can be formed as a unitary textile material having regions/sections with different physical and/or mechanical properties. The pocket can be integrally molded within portions of a lacrosse head to eliminate manually constructed connections between the pocket and lacrosse head. The lacrosse head can be integrally molded with a lacrosse handle to provide a one-piece unitary lacrosse stick. Related methods of manufacturing also are provided.

A method for fabricating a composite panel includes providing a preform including a peripheral edge portion and a central portion. The central portion has a first thickness, the peripheral edge portion has a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness, and a first step is arranged between the central portion and the peripheral edge portion. The method includes providing a tool including a binder defining a second step, an upper punch, and a lower tool; arranging the preform between the binder and the upper punch and the lower tool; shaping the preform using the tool; and injection molding the preform in the tool to create the composite panel.
