An induction connection sleeve for fusion joining of plastic pipes includes a sleeve body having a first and a second receiving portion for receiving first and second connection portions of the plastic pipes to be connected, a first induction heating element and a second induction heating element. The sleeve body includes an inner part, which inner part forms the two receiving portions and on which the induction heating elements are accommodated in such a way that the recesses of the induction heating elements are penetrated by the inner part and are flush at their outer lateral surfaces with the inner part in the area of the induction heating elements. The sleeve body further includes an outer part which is connected to the inner part in a bonded manner and surrounds the outer lateral surfaces of the induction heating elements.

An integrated molded body in which a resin member (C) including discontinuous carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin is interposed between a plate material (A) one side surface of which is a design surface, and a resin member (B), wherein the integrated molded body has a first joining part at which the resin member (B) is joined to the resin member (C) and a second joining part at which at least a partial region of an outer peripheral edge part of the plate material (A) is joined to the resin member (C).

A method for mounting a preformed seal on a substrate comprises the steps of providing the preformed seal at a predetermined position relative to the substrate, at least a part of the preformed seal being spaced at a distance from the substrate; arranging a mold in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal, wherein the mold holds the preformed seal at the predetermined position and wherein the mold, the substrate and the preformed seal delimit a mold cavity. Further, the method comprises at least partially filling the mold cavity with a solidifiable composition, wherein the solidifiable composition is in contact with the substrate and the preformed seal bridging the distance; and solidifying the solidifiable composition, whereby the solidifiable composition forms a molded part adhering to the preformed seal and to the substrate. The preformed seal and the solidifiable composition are configured to adhere to each other.

A suspension arm includes a ball stud including a spherical ball; a bearing in which the spherical ball is accommodated; a housing having an inner peripheral portion and an outer peripheral portion; an arm body coupled to the outer peripheral portion of the housing; and an insert molding part which is injected to a lower portion of the bearing and the outer peripheral portion of the housing to be coupled to the bearing, the housing, and the arm body. The housing includes a matching portion having a matching surface formed to protrude in a radially outward direction from an upper portion of the outer peripheral portion and to be brought into contact with a mold. By forming the matching portion, it is possible to reduce the volume of the housing and to reduce the weight of the suspension arm while providing the matching surface with the mold.

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.

A process for producing a plate-like body with a resin frame having a decorative molding, wherein the decorative molding includes a main part and a film formed on a surface and has a design part exposed on a surface of the resin frame and an embedded part in the resin frame. The film continuously covers the design part and the embedded part. The process includes a step of mounting the decorative molding on a mold for forming the resin frame and further mounting a plate-like body, and a step of injecting a molten resin into a cavity of the mold and forming a resin frame with the decorative molding thereon into a window glass while a film at a portion located at a boundary between the design part and the embedded part is pressed against the mold by an injection pressure of the molten resin and thermally deformed.

The resin molded article is molded by using an electrode sheet as an insert in a state where one surface of the electrode sheet is closely attached to an inner surface which serves as the inner side of the operation surface. The electrode sheet is formed by using, as a base material, a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet which outputs an electrical signal according to the amount of change of electrostatic capacitance generated by a contact operation with respect to the operation surface. At least a whole or a part of the inner surface is formed in a three-dimensionally curved surface, and a passage is formed in the electrode sheet so as to allow a molten resin following in through a gate formed in a die which comes into contact with the other surface of the electrode sheet during molding to pass toward one surface side of the electrode sheet.

A method of joining a first workpiece substrate and a second workpiece substrate is disclosed in which a local mold tool is positioned into contact with the first workpiece substrate and the second workpiece substrate. The local mold tool defines a mold cavity and encloses an edge portion of the first workpiece substrate and an edge portion of the second workpiece substrate such that the edge portion of the first workpiece substrate and the edge portion of the second workpiece substrate are contained within the mold cavity. Once the local mold tool is positioned, a liquid polymer molding compound is injected into the mold cavity. The liquid polymer molding compound is hardened in the mold cavity into a polymer joint that adheres the edge portion of the first workpiece substrate and the edge portion of the second workpiece substrate together.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of virtual three-dimensional patterns in mouldings, in particular to an injection-moulding process for the production of mouldings having a virtual three-dimensional pattern which is formed by flake-form effect pigments, to the mouldings produced by means of this process, and to the use thereof, in particular for decorative purposes.

A worm gear for a worm gear system of a motor vehicle steering device may include a hub, a support element, and a gear rim. The support element may be a support ring that by means of an injection-molding method is injected between the gear rim and the hub. The support ring may connect in a form-fitting manner the hub and the gear rim. The gear rim and the support element may configure a multiplicity of teeth. The support element may have support webs that penetrate the gear rim such that radially outward pointing end sides of the support webs are exposed.
