A holding portion having a diameter larger than that of a cavity is formed in communication with the cavity, in an area of a two-part type mold, the area including a portion corresponding to an annular groove. Subsequently, an insert member formed in a cylindrical shape and provided with, on an outer circumferential surface, the annular groove having no step in a groove surface is fitted to the holding portion, and then the mold is closed. On an inner circumferential surface of the insert member, a surface treatment layer having a surface roughness rougher than those of other portions of the insert member is formed. Molten resin is injected into the cavity; thereafter, an assist material is injected into the cavity to mold the resin into a desired pipe body. Then, the insert member and the pipe body are integrated along with curing of the resin.

A structural reinforcement and biocompatible pump head for a pump includes a reinforcement structure having a plurality of ports and fluid pathways therein. The fluid pathways in the reinforcement may be coated or lined with a biocompatible material to form a biocompatible pump head useful for liquid chromatography and other analytical instrument systems. The biocompatible material may be injection molded into the fluid pathways of the reinforcement structure and may be machined after core pins are removed to obtain a desired surface finish and/or size of the biocompatible fluid pathways of the pump head.

A flashlight can include a flashlight shaft, a grip overmolded on the flashlight shaft, and a light element connected to the flashlight shaft. The flashlight shaft can have a circumferential grip recess bounded by two raised portions. The grip recess can have a surface lower than the two raised portions around a circumference of the shaft. The shaft can be integrally formed as a single piece. The grip can be overmolded into the grip recess, such that the grip covers the surface of the grip recess and is bounded by the two raised portions. The grip can be formed of a material that is insufficiently flexible to pass over the two raised portions without damage.

A method for overmolding a tubular structure including inserting a core pin into the tubular structure so that at least a portion of a main body of the core pin extends at least partially out of the tubular structure. The method further includes clamping the tubular structure to a mold cavity structure in an Z-direction using a retaining structure, in which the retaining structure includes an inclined portion and the flexible portion extends out of the mold cavity structure. The method also includes injecting a thermoplastic material into a mold cavity of the mold cavity structure to overmold at least a portion of the tubular structure, in which the injecting of the thermoplastic material includes the thermoplastic material contacting the portion of the core pin extended from the tubular structure.

A method is disclosed for coating field joints of pipeline. The method comprises melting a coating material in an extruder; accumulating the melted coating material in at least one accumulator; injection molding the melted coating material in a mold fit around the exposed field joint; conducting the melted coating material from the extruder, to the accumulator, and to the mold using pipework; and maintaining the coating material melted in the pipework by heating a fluid medium and conduiting the heated fluid medium into heat transfer with the pipework.

Two molded articles having a cylindrical two-piece split shape is formed by forming two primary cavities in a desired shape with molds assembled together and injecting a molten primary resin into the two primary cavities. An assist material is injected into a secondary cavity into which a molten secondary resin is injected in a state where the two molded articles are located opposed to each other via a space therebetween and internally fitted into one secondary cavity formed by the molds that are assembled together by shifting the positions. A flange portion having any desired shape is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of a resin pipe in a two-layer structure in which an inner surface layer formed of the cured secondary resin is integrated with an outer surface layer formed of the two molded articles. Thus, a portion having any desired shape is easily manufactured on the resin pipe.

A toothed shaft can be installed in a hollow shaft that has an internal toothing such that the toothed shaft is coupled in a positively locking fashion so as to be telescopic in a direction of a longitudinal axis. The toothed shaft may include a toothing region with teeth on an outer circumference and extending in an axial direction. In the toothing region a shaft core may be overmolded by way of an injection molding process with a sliding coating comprised of thermoplastic material. The sliding coating may have at least three impressions, with each of the at least three impressions featuring an aperture that extends through the sliding coating to a surface of the shaft core.

An inline mixer device includes a flexible tube and a mixer portion. The mixer portion is internal to and integral with the tube. The mixer portion and tube may be comprised of the same flexible material. Methods of forming the inline mixer device are provided. Methods of mixing fluid with the inline mixer device are provided.

The present invention discloses a stator assembly with water-isolating sleeve applied to solenoid valve for water and implementation method thereof, the implementation method comprising: forming a coil assembly with a cavity by installing an element including an insert on a coil rack wound with a coil winding; forming a stator assembly by installing an upper magnetic conductive inner sleeve and a lower magnetic conductive inner sleeve at both sides in a holein the coil rack of the coil assembly, and fixing the yoke connecting the upper magnetic conductive inner sleeve and the lower magnetic conductive inner sleeve outside the coil assembly; injecting plastic on the stator assembly to form the stator assembly with water-isolating sleeve.

A marked guide includes an elongated body having a bendable core with a length dimension and made of material that is bendable along the length dimension to selectively form various bent shapes, and that retains the bent shapes without external support. The elongated body also has at least one layer of second material provided around the core, the second material being elastomeric or resiliently flexible. An outer surface of the body has a plurality of markings, including a first line marking positioned at a 0-degree point, a second line marking positioned at a 90-degree point, a third line marking positioned at a 180-degree point and a fourth line marking positioned at a 270-degree point.
