The invention provides a gasket which improves a handling workability of a rubber only type gasket. The gasket of the invention is constructed by a combination of a rubber only type gasket main body, and a carrier sheet which is made of a resin film retaining the gasket main body in a non-bonded state, and the carrier sheet is provided with an air inflow port for making air flow into a portion between the carrier sheet and the gasket main body when the gasket main body is detached from the carrier sheet. A gasket retention portion having a three-dimensional shape which is deformed along an outer shape of the gasket main body is arranged at a position which laps over the gasket main body in a plane in the carrier sheet, and the gasket main body is partly accommodated within the gasket retention portion in a thickness direction.

Provided are a cover having a metallic grid structure and a method for manufacturing the cover. The cover includes a pattern portion formed of a metallic material, in which a plurality of patterns are independently disposed spaced apart from each other and an injection portion disposed between pattern portions to connect the pattern portions, the injection portion being formed of a non-metallic material. The method includes forming a pre-pattern portion including patterns in a regular or irregular form and a bridge connecting the patterns on a metallic plate, forming the injection portion on the pre-pattern portion by insert-injection or thermo-compression press, and removing the bridge.

The purpose of this invention is to make it easy to handle all-rubber gaskets. To achieve this purpose, a gasket is characterized in that a gasket body of only rubber is combined with a carrier film that is made from a resin film to hold the gasket body in a non-adhesive state. A three-dimensional portion having a shape that is deformed along the external shape of the gasket body is provided at a position where the gasket body and a plane of the carrier film overlap, and a portion of the gasket body is contained in the three-dimensional section. The gasket body is used as a gasket for fuel cells incorporated into a fuel cell stack.

An encapsulation cover for an electronic package includes a cover body having a frontal wall provided with at least one optical element allowing light to pass through. The optical element is inserted into the encapsulation cover by overmolding into a through-passage of the frontal wall. A front face of the optical element is set back with respect to a front face of the frontal wall. The process for fabricating the encapsulation cover includes forming a stack of a sacrificial spacer on top of an optical element, with the stack placed into a cavity of a mold.

A printed film with mounted light emitting diodes encapsulated in a light guide includes a printed film assembly. The printed film assembly includes multiple light emitting diodes. A light guide is injection molded onto a first side of the body covering the light emitting diodes. A light transmissive polymeric material coating layer is applied by injection molding to a second side of the body opposite to the first side. An overmolded component has the printed film assembly embedded therein, with the coating layer exposed for visibility of light from the light emitting diodes when at least one of the light emitting diodes is energized.

A single core pin assembly (10) having a first core pin (12) and at least one second core pin (14), the first core pin (12) having a first end (16), a second end (18) and a first core pin body (20). The first core pin body (20) connects the first end (16) and the second end (18). The second core pin (14) has a first end (24), a second end (26), and a second core pin body (28) connecting the second core pin first end (24) and the second core pin second end (26). The second core pin first end (24) is configured to join with the first core pin first end (16) to form a common downstream channel (30). The core pin (10) may be placed in a mold and surrounded by a flowable material (e.g. plastic) to form a work piece.

A molded article comprising a container top is disclosed. The molded article includes a threadless frame defining an opening, a flip cap located substantially coplanar with, and integrally formed with, the frame, a compound hinge between the frame and the flip cap, the hinge allowing the flip cap to rotate about the hinge to rest on top of the frame, an in-mold lidding film having a perimeter molded to the frame such that the in-mold lidding film covers the opening defined by the frame, wherein the in-mold lidding film is removable from the frame, and a pull tab, formed from the in-mold lidding film, that extends past the opening defined by the frame.

In a decorative molding method a film having an uneven shape printed thereon and a film having a pattern printed thereon are separately supplied to a metal mold, the films are positioned separately, and a molding material is simultaneously injected into the metal mold to carry out injection molding. In a decorative molding apparatus for realizing the above method, a suction circuit for adsorbing each of the films on a film adsorption surface of the metal mold and an air blowing circuit for peeling off the films are disposed, and, after the injection molding, air blowing on each film is started separately from the start of opening of the metal mold, and the metal mold and the films are brought into a positive pressure state, then the molded article is taken out, a clamp jig is released to release the films, and the air blowing continues until the following patterns of the films are placed inside the metal mold.

Disclosed a method for fast molding a flexible plastic on a fabric and a product thereof. A fabric on which molding is to be applied is provided with a bottom paper that is temporarily and adhesively attached to a bottom surface of the fabric. The fabric and the bottom paper are collectively punched to form material feeding holes corresponding to mold cavities and are then collectively clamped in a mold that includes at least two mold blocks for injection molding. The first mold block includes multiple dot-like mold cavities formed thereon and arranged in a predetermined pattern. The second mold block includes channel-like cavities thereon for a plastic material to flow therethrough. Injection is conducted to mold the flexible plastic such that the plastic is forced, under impact by high temperature and high pressure, into a surface of the fabric and thus molded thereon.
