A method of manufacturing molded parts having back injection molded features is operable to make decorative panels for vehicle applications. A single workstation can heat a substrate, locate the heated substrate in a tool, load a cover stock on the substrate while in the tool, insert a buffer layer over the cover stock, close the tool, inject a resin to form ribbing, clip towers, locators, and/or attachment features, cool the part, and then open the tool to eject the completed part. The enhanced manufacturing processes reduces tooling cost and inherent energy usage.

In molded body manufacturing equipment, the mold is fixed at an incline to a movable beam of a frame. A fixed pulley and a wire straightening pulley are fixed to the movable beam as a mechanism for fixing multiple wires that form holes in the molded body. One end of the wire is fixed to a wire fixing unit provided on the frame. The other end passes through the fixed side pulley, passes through the mold, passes through the wire straightening pulley and the direction changing pulley, and has a weight attached thereto. In this way, tension is applied to the wire by the gravity of the weight, allowing the wire to maintain its straightness even inside the mold, making it possible to manufacture molded bodies with high precision.

A single component, multi-purpose injection molded plastic vial with a male luer lock fitting for use in multiple applications including filling, sealing, storage and delivery of various fluid products, in particular the dosage of medical and pharmaceutical fluid products.

A hydraulic bearing, comprising: an inner core, a cage, an elastomer body extending between the inner core and the cage, and an outer sleeve which encloses the cage. The elastomer body has: first and second fluid chamber recesses filled with a working fluid, forming first and second fluid chambers that are fluidically connected to each other via a fluid channel such that fluid exchange takes place between the first and second fluid chambers via the fluid channel upon relative displacement of the inner core and the cage. The inner core has: first and second inner core stop projections, extending into the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber, respectively. The cage has first and second cage axial stop projections that cooperate with the first and second cage axial stop projections to limit the relative displacement of the inner core and the cage with respect to each.
