A thermoplastics injection molding process coats a field joint of a pipeline by positioning a mold tool around the field joint to define a mold cavity. Thermoplastics material injected into the mold cavity forms a field joint coating that will set in the mold cavity. As the thermoplastics material shrinks in the mold cavity while the field joint coating sets, compacting pressure is applied radially inwardly within the mold cavity against a radially outer side of the field joint coating. A compacting fluid introduced into the mold cavity between the mold tool and the field joint coating may be used to apply pressure against the field joint coating. This accelerates and controls cooling of the field joint coating while maximizing quality.

A molding system for applying moldable material to a pipe. An elongate mold has at least one elongate mold member movable relative another elongate mold member between open and closed positions. The mold includes a pipe support that extends generally radially into a mold cavity along a support axis. An inner end of the support is configured to support the pipe in a molding position in which an annular portion of the mold cavity extends circumferentially around the pipe. After moldable material in the annular portion of the mold cavity can support the pipe, the support is withdrawn from the mold cavity by moving outwardly along the support axis. An injector selectively dispenses additional moldable material into a space formed by the support in the existing moldable material.

A method for producing a length-adjustable steering shaft having a hollow shaft in which a toothed shaft is received so as to be axially telescopic. The toothed shaft has a toothing with teeth on an external circumference that extend in the axial direction and which engages in a form-fitting manner in an inner toothing of the hollow shaft. A sliding layer of thermoplastic plastics material is at least in portions attached between the inner toothing and the toothing. In order to enable an improved fastening of the sliding layer to the toothing, prior to attaching the sliding layer, form-fitting elements which for forming a form-fitting connection that is effective in the axial direction are brought to engage with the sliding layer are configured in the region of the toothing of the toothed shaft or the inner toothing of the hollow shaft.

It is provided an adjustment assembly for an adjustment drive of a motor vehicle, having a first adjustment part having a first screw thread, and a second adjustment part having a second screw thread, which is in engagement with the first screw thread, wherein at least one of the screw threads has a plastic coating. The plastic coating covers more than 50% of the at least one screw thread.

A canister for storing and launching a self-propelled projectile comprises: a) an inner layer comprising an aluminum foil; b) a top layer consisting of an injected thermoplastic polymer; and c) optionally, a primer and/or a topcoat.

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 faucet main body structure, an injection molding mold and a molding method are provided. A main body inner core is fixed in the injection molding mold by a new fixing method, ensuring that no additional positioning structure is required to be provided on the outer surface of the main body inner core, so that in the case that the main body inner core is subjected to over-molding, a main body injection-molded layer of the main body injection-molded part is enabled to closely attached to the main body inner core without causing gaps therebetween, which ensures that the faucet main body structure is not susceptible to water seepage, and prolongs the service life of the product.

A portable molding system is configured for forming insulation on pipes. A set of transportable process modules are configured to be shipped to a molding site, operatively connected together at the molding site to form a site-installed molding system, and subsequently disconnected for transport to another site. The set of transportable process modules includes one or more resin preparation modules configured to prepare resin for being formed into insulation on the pipes. One or more mold modules are configured to define a mold cavity. The one or more mold modules are configured to hold a pipe in the mold cavity, to receive resin prepared by the one or more resin preparation modules in the mold cavity around the pipe, and to form said resin received in the mold cavity into insulation on the pipe.

The method for attaching a thin cylindrical element to a mold core is a method for attaching a film-like thin cylindrical element, which is formed in a cylindrical shape having a constant cross-sectional shape, to an outer surface of a mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core. The method includes pressing the thin cylindrical element onto a tip portion of the mold core; guiding the thin cylindrical element to the base end side of the mold core while ejecting gas into between the mold core and the thin cylindrical element; and attaching the thin cylindrical element to the outer surface of the mold core in a manner so as to cover the mold core.

A method may be used to produce a variable-length steering shaft. The method may involve positioning a shaft core within a mold cavity of an injection molding tool coaxially with respect to a mold surface that delimits a toothing region, injecting molten plastic into the mold cavity between the shaft core and the mold surface of the mold cavity with an injection nozzle, removing a toothed shaft from the injection molding tool after the plastic has solidified, providing a hollow shaft and axially inserting the toothing region into an internal toothing, and for the positioning of the shaft core arranging positioning elements at least partially in a region of the mold surface of the toothing. The positioning elements, by way of positioning surfaces, may lie against the shaft core radially from an outside in a region of the toothing and hold the shaft core coaxially in the mold cavity.
