A two-color molding die includes: a fixed primary die; a fixed secondary die; and a movable die. The fixed primary die includes a first concave portion. The movable die includes a second concave portion facing the first concave portion, and a core pin that protrudes from a base end surface of the second concave portion toward a base end surface of the first concave portion to form a tubular primary molding cavity between the core pin and the first concave portion and the second concave portion. The fixed secondary die includes a third concave portion configured to form a concave secondary molding cavity.

A seal molding system includes a mold body having a mold body inner geometry configured complementary to a fitting outer geometry of a fitting, and a mold collar having one or more mold collar engagement elements configured to engage with one or more fitting engagement elements. The mold collar is couplable to the mold body at a body-collar interface allowing free rotation of the mold collar relative to the mold body. The body-collar interface is configured such that axial motion in a first axial direction and/or rotational motion in a first rotational direction of the mold collar relative to the fitting causes the mold collar to urge the mold body against a panel surface, and axial motion in a second axial direction and/or rotational motion in a second rotational direction of the mold collar relative to the fitting causes the mold collar to draw the mold body away from the panel.

An injection-molded impeller includes a center shaft portion and a plurality of vanes. The plurality of vanes are formed at a peripheral area of the center shaft portion at regular intervals. The injection-molded impeller is rotated around an axial center CL of the center shaft portion to flow out a fluid flowed in between the adjacent vanes from a direction along the axial center CL of the center shaft portion toward a radially outer side. The vanes include non-deflecting shape portions and arc-shaped flow deflecting portions. The non-deflecting shape portions linearly extend from the center shaft portion along a radial direction. The flow deflecting portions extend from the non-deflecting shape portions to radially outward ends. The vanes are formed in a spiral pattern from one end side to another end side along the axial center CL of the center shaft portion.

An apparatus usable with an injection molder for producing articles includes a first mold support including a first mold, and a second mold support including a second mold and a first die. The first mold support is movable relative to the second mold support between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first mold and the second mold being brought together to form an injection molded article include a body having at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the body and facing the second mold. In the second position, the first mold and the first die being brought together to subsequently form the article, the first die selectively subsequently forming an altered cross sectional region in at least a portion of the protrusion, forming an undercut in the altered cross sectional region or between the altered cross sectional region of the subsequently formed protrusion and the body.

A tool for driving a threaded fastener includes a driver head, a motor, and an injector. The driver head includes a spindle rotatable about an axis. A distal end of the spindle defines a plurality of drive surfaces configured to engage mating drive surfaces on the fastener to rotate the fastener about the axis. The driver head defines a fluid passage having an outlet proximate to the distal end of the spindle. The motor is drivingly coupled to the spindle to rotate the spindle about the axis. The injector is coupled to an inlet of the fluid passage and configured to feed a liquid insulator through the fluid passage.

A rotary injection mold for an elastic housing of a neckband headset includes an upper mold core and a lower mold core, the lower mold core is provided with a main installation cavity and a control end installation cavity, the main installation cavity is installed with a rotary mold core having two half-ring molding channels. When the upper mold core and the lower mold core are closed, a primary injection cavity is formed, for molding a supporting member supporting a neckband; a secondary injection cavity is formed, for molding a strip member wrapping the neckband. The control end installation cavity is provided with two control end injection molds for molding a control end elastic casing, and the control end injection cavities are hermetically communicated with the secondary injection cavity. By the invention, an integrated elastic housing is molded to wrap the neckband headset, to improve the manufacturing efficiency.

A molding device includes a mold cavity defined by an upper mold, a lower mold and a middle mold being moveably attached to the lower mold; a position control mechanism configured to move the middle mold; and a gas discharging mechanism disposed adjacent to the mold cavity and including a gas conduit and a slit jointly defined by the upper mold and the lower mold when the molding device is closed, the slit is in communication with the mold cavity and the gas conduit. A molding method includes injecting a material into a mold cavity to form an article in the mold cavity; discharging at least a portion of a gas out of the mold cavity through a slit of a gas discharging mechanism adjacent to the mold cavity after the article is formed; disengaging a upper mold from a lower mold; and detaching the article from a middle mold.

The disclosure relates to a plastic faucet body and a molding tool. The faucet body includes a left water inlet pipe and a right water inlet pipe, wherein a left valve seat installation recess is formed in the left water inlet pipe and a right valve seat installation recess is formed in the right water inlet pipe. A connecting cross-beam is disposed between the left water inlet pipe and the right water inlet pipe, wherein the connecting cross-beam is provided with a water outlet and a middle water channel is formed within the connecting cross-beam. The middle water channel includes a left water inlet channel and a right water inlet channel, wherein the left water inlet pipe and the water outlet are connected with the left water inlet channel, and the right water inlet pipe and the water outlet are connected with the right water inlet channel, and the left water inlet channel and the right water inlet channel are arc-shaped or U-shaped.

An injection-molding machine (10) has a static mold (14), a mold shaft (15) inserted into an inner space (14a) of the static mold (14) and having a central axis (15a), a rotation mechanism (17) which rotates the mold shaft (15) around the central axis (15a), and a raw material injection mechanism (1) which injects as a raw material, a composite material containing resin and fiber into the inner space (14a) of the static mold (14). The raw material is injected from a tip section of the mold shaft (15) into the inner space (14a) of the static mold (14) along the mold shaft (15). A technique of properly controlling the fiber orientation in the injection molding of the composite material part is provided.
