The invention relates to nozzle tips including a nozzle body and a tip portion, configured to minimize the accumulation of a resin on the nozzle tip as it is dispensed through the nozzle tip. The nozzle tip can contain a central flow channel and an internal portion that branches and guides the resin into multiple exiting flow channels that define tangential pathways to the outer surface of the nozzle tip. The nozzle tip can include grooves that define extended, sharply angled flow paths for the resin. Nozzle tips can have a neck portion separating a nozzle body and a tip end of the nozzle tip; here, a doughnut-shaped space located around the neck portion can be defined by the base of the nozzle, the crown of the nozzle, and the neck portion, for encouraging turbulent flow of the resin to scour the nozzle tip during dispensing.

An extruding unit, a forming roll unit and a thick portion forming mechanism are provided. The extruding unit has an ejecting slit which ejects sheet-shaped molten resin. The ejecting slit includes a standard gap portion and an enlarged gap portion. The standard gap portion is formed as a gap having a constant size. The enlarged gap portion is formed as a gap larger than the standard gap portion in a position corresponding to a thick portion. The thick portion forming mechanism forms one or several thick portions which are thicker than other portion, in the sheet-shaped molten resin continuously in the extrusion direction.

A cleaning agent composition contains 100 parts by weight of polyethylene oxide; 25 parts by weight to 90 parts by weight of at least one type of fatty acid ester that is selected from glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, or sorbitan fatty acid ester; and 15 parts by weight to 45 parts by weight of a metal salt of a fatty acid and/or a hydroxyfatty acid. The cleaning agent composition is used for cleaning a flow channel for resin in a hot runner type mold.

A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a fine pattern transfer mold and a fine pattern molding method that allow high-resolution transfer of a fine pattern to the interior of a hollow product by integral molding. In a product formation chamber that is formed between a cavity and a core pin member having a predetermined portion at which a fine pattern original plate is fixed by closing of a mold body, a gate into which a molten resin material flows from a hot runner member has an opening that is located outside an end of a fixed surface of the fine pattern original plate in a horizontal direction of the fixed surface and that faces the end of the fixed surface, an injection nozzle of the hot runner member and the gate are directly coupled together, and the hollow product is integrally molded by the resin material flowing from the gate.

A cavity includes a first cavity portion, and a second cavity portion that is formed between the first cavity portion and a runner and that corresponds to a baseboard. There is adopted a configuration in which a foamed admixture is supplied to the first cavity portion via the second cavity portion upon being supplied to the cavity via the runner. A collision portion with which the foamed admixture supplied to the cavity can collide before reaching the first cavity portion is formed at the second cavity portion.

A method for producing a composite molded component that includes an internal component, a primary molded portion covering the internal component, and a secondary molded portion covering the primary molded portion, wherein a rib portion that protrudes toward the secondary molded portion, the method including the steps of: (a) placing an intermediate component including the internal component and the primary molded portion in a mold; (b) pouring a resin for forming the secondary molded portion into the mold; (c) detecting a resin temperature of the resin in the mold; (d) determining, based on the resin temperature, a melting time during which the resin in the mold can be molten and fused to the rib portion of the primary molded portion; (e) determining, based on the melting time, whether a molten state of the rib portion is good or poor; and (f) releasing the composite molded component from the mold.

An injection molding apparatus (5) comprising: an actuator (10) comprising a thermally conductive housing body (12) mounted in direct heat or thermally conductive contact with one or more mounts (60, 50, 803) that are in turn mounted in direct heat conductive contact or communication with the manifold (20), the cooling device (500, 800) comprising a heat transmitter comprised of an arm, member (502) or leg (800I) that is either: disposed in direct or integral thermal contact with a complementary surface (12Is) of the actuator (10) or, configured to have compressible spring joints (800s).
