To provide a composite molding and a method of manufacturing the same, capable of preventing insufficient filling of a rubber member and improving a product yield, the composite molding has a resin member and a rubber member molded to cover upper and lower faces of the resin member. A plurality of holes communicating with the resin member are provided in at least one of faces of the rubber member. The holes are loopholes of pins that support the resin member during molding of the rubber member while being spaced from a mold die.

A method of over-molding a thermoplastic elastomer over fabric includes: precision forming a mold cavity to match the final dimensions of a finished product; cutting a piece of fabric to a correct size; fixedly securing the fabric piece in the mold cavity; and injecting a thermoplastic elastomer into the mold cavity at an appropriate temperature and pressure, on top of the fabric piece. The method may further include heating the thermoplastic elastomer to a temperature for melting a surface layer of the fabric when injected thereon, and cooling of the thermoplastic elastomer and fabric for bonding of the thermoplastic elastomer to the surface of the fabric. The method may further include adding one or more additives from the group of additives consisting of: a UV stabilizer, an anti-blocking agent, a slip agents, a plasticizer, and a flame retardant; and securing a cord member onto an exposed portion of the fabric.

The matrix zone comprises a composite substrate and a coating, the coating covers a surface of the composite substrate, and the coating and the functional zone are obtained by a reaction of a coating composition comprising the following components: one or more polyisocyanates, and one or more H-active polyfunctional compounds, wherein the H-active polyfunctional compounds are preferably one or more polyols. The functional zone comprises a region of the coating which extends into the cut-out section of the substrate. The method for manufacturing the thermoplastic composite article provided according to the present invention is characterized by a simple process, high efficiency, a high yield and environmental friendliness; and the obtained thermoplastic composite article, especially an electronic product housing, can have good electrical signal transmission performance or structural components.

A golf club head includes a club face and a body. The club face is formed from a metallic material and includes a first, hitting surface, a second, rear surface that is opposite the first surface, and a flange that is separated from the second surface by a transverse distance. The body is formed from a polymeric material and includes a crown, a sole, a hosel, and a face support. The club face and the body cooperate to define a closed volume, and the face support extends to opposing sides of the flange and is operative to couple the club face to the body.

A composite gear includes: a first member comprising a rotation shaft portion and a disk-shaped web extending in radial directions from the rotation shaft portion; and a second member comprising at least one engaging tooth on an outer periphery thereof and provided being supported by the web so as to surround an outer periphery of the first member. A space is provided between the second member and an outermost peripheral surface of the first member in a radial direction, a space is provided between the first member and an innermost peripheral surface of the second member in a radial direction, and at least one of the first member and the second member is formed to nip another of the first member and the second member from both sides thereof in an axial direction of the rotation shaft portion.

A method for manufacturing a base plate for a keyboard includes the steps of: a) providing a mold assembly including a female mold and a male mold, b) preparing a composite laminate which includes a carbon fiber layer and a thermoplastic resin layer, and which is formed with a plurality of positioning holes, c) disposing the composite laminate in the female mold, and combining the female and male molds, and d) injecting a plastic material to form positioning blocks which binds to the thermoplastic resin layer and integrates with the composite laminate to form the base plate.

A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, providing a body-in-white member having an inboard side and an outboard side, molding a reinforcing structure on the inboard side, and molding an energy absorbing structure on the outboard side.

A structural component, comprising at least two organo-sheet pieces which at least sectionally lie one on top of the other and which each include a fiber layer, wherein at least in the fiber layers of the organo-sheet pieces at least one pair of mutually aligned holes is formed, at which the organo-sheet pieces are positively connected to each other. There is furthermore proposed a method for manufacturing a structural component.

Techniques for overmolding thermoplastics onto a spray primed polymer substrate. A thin layer of primer may be sprayed directly over a pre-formed polymer material. Then, a thermoplastic is injection molded directly over the primer layer. In one embodiment, a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabric is thermal compression molded into a NED device housing shell. Selected portions of the NED device housing shell may be mechanically abraded and then sprayed with a solvent-based polyolefin primer. Once the primer layer has cured, a thermoplastic material may then be overmolded directly over the primer layerwithout any additional adhesive layer(s) between the primer layer and the thermoplastic material.
