A method for manufacturing three-dimensional items with flexible walls is provided, by method of a mold and counter-mold between which a volume corresponding to that of the item to be obtained is delimited. The item is made up of laminar parts which are mounted on a template that is fixed to the inner surface of the mold. The laminar parts are joined to one another by means of a material which is injected in molten state through a network of conduits delimited between the counter-mold, template and the facing edges of adjacent laminar parts. The template is made of an elastically deformable material and has a three-dimensional configuration.

A hybrid molded body according to this embodiment is a hybrid molded body in which a prepreg made of a fiber reinforced plastic and a resin are integrally molded, and the resin includes a covering part that covers at least a part of the prepreg in the boundary part of the prepreg and the resin.

A process is for manufacturing a complex motor vehicle glazing including a glass pane, an elastomer seal and a metal insert overmolded by the elastomer seal. The process includes inserting an edge of a glass pane and a metal insert into an encapsulation mold forming a leaktight cavity around the edge of the glass pane, filling the leaktight cavity containing the edge of the glass pane and the metal insert, by injecting an encapsulation composition including a polypropylene (PP)/thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound in the molten state, cooling the encapsulation composition to form an elastomer seal in which the metal insert is integrated, and releasing the elastomer seal from the mold. The PP/TPE compound includes from 30% to 80% by weight of polypropylene (PP) and the metal insert is covered over its entire surface liable to come into contact with the encapsulation composition, with a polypropylene coating.

A vehicle-use resin module including a strength member made of synthetic resin and including a mounting hole, and an attachment member attached to the mounting hole and configured to be subjected to an external force. The attachment member includes an outer fitting having a tubular part arranged in the mounting hole in an inserted state. The outer fitting includes an outer circumferential projection projecting to a radially outer side of the tubular part. The strength member is an insertion-molded component having a structure in which the outer circumferential projection of the outer fitting is embedded so as to be inserted inside a circumferential wall of the mounting hole. A surface of the tubular part of the outer fitting and a surface of the outer circumferential projection are each directly fixed to the strength member with an adhesive.

An insert-molded container in which a secondary container made of transparent synthetic resin is integrally provided to the outside of a primary container, the secondary container includes a gate mark, and a vapor-deposited layer is provided on the outer surface of the primary container in a peripheral area of the gate mark is manufactured by a manufacturing method of insert-molded container. The method includes: a cover attaching step of attaching a cover member made of transparent synthetic resin to the outer surface of a part of the primary container where a vapor-deposited layer is provided; a placing step of placing the primary container in a mold with the cover member facing a gate; and an insert molding step of injecting a transparent synthetic resin material from the gate.

A resin frame-attached glass plate for a vehicle window includes a glass plate; a resin frame attached to a peripheral edge area of the glass plate; and a decorative member disposed on the resin frame such that the resin frame is integrally molded along with the glass plate and the decorative member; wherein the resin frame has a groove formed along a boundary between the resin frame and an exposed portion of the decorative member, the groove being recessed from a surface of the resin frame.

In a method of manufacturing a seal assembly, strips of material are extruded to form first and second bodies, and ends of the bodies are positioned into a mold cavity of a molding apparatus. An elastomeric material is injected into the mold cavity to form a locator device having a foot portion and a tab portion with the tab portion defining a first reference point. A thermoplastic elastomeric material is injected into the mold cavity to form a corner mold covering the body ends and the foot portion of the locator device with the corner mold defining a second reference point. The corner mold bonds the first body end, the second body end, and the locator device together to fix the locator device to the first body end at a locator position such that a predetermined distance between the reference points is maintained during injecting of the thermoplastic elastomeric material.

A glass sealing system includes a glass portion and a first adhesive layer disposed along an exterior surface of the glass portion. The glass sealing system also includes a cover with a first surface secured to the first adhesive layer and a second surface opposing the first surface. The glass sealing system includes a second adhesive layer disposed on the second surface and configured to secure the cover to a support structure. The cover obscures the second adhesive layer from view of a user looking through the glass portion toward the support structure.

An integrally molded body has a bonding resin (C) interposed between a board (A) and a member (B), one surface of the board being a design surface, wherein: inside the member (B), a first bonding section disposed to space apart the board (A) and the member (B) and by which at least a partial region of an outer peripheral edge section of the board (A) bonds to the bonding resin (C), is provided; and at least at a part of the design surface-side surface of the integrally molded body, a region where the board (A), the member (B), and the bonding resin (C) are exposed is provided. A plurality of structures can be bonded with high bonding strength and allows for the bonding boundary thereof to have favorable smoothness, thereby making it possible to mitigate warping and reduce weight and thickness even when the molded body has a board constituent member.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a vehicular hybrid suspension arm and a hybrid suspension arm manufactured using the same. The method of manufacturing a hybrid suspension arm includes preparing an assembly of a ball stud and a bearing; preparing a suspension arm body; attaching a ball joint pipe and bush pipes to the suspension arm body; manufacturing a suspension arm main body by inserting the assembly of the ball stud and the bearing into the ball joint pipe; inserting the suspension arm main body into a mold in which a plurality of fixing pins are formed; injecting an insert molding into a ball joint portion comprising the ball joint pipe and the ball stud in a direction of an upper surface of the ball joint pipe through the mold; and inserting and assembling bushes into the bush pipes.
