A tandem mold for creating injection-molded parts from synthetic material includes a first part (2), a second part (4), a third part (6), and a guide (20, 22, 26, 28). A first parting surface is defined between the first part (2) and the third part (6), and a second parting surface is defined between the second part (4) and the third part (6). The mold also includes, for each parting surface, at least one mechanical stop (44) that is movable between a first position, where said stop prevents a drive mechanism from reaching the closed position of the mold, and a second position, or retracted position, where the mold can reach its closed position.

This invention relates to a handling device for the removal of plastic injection-molded parts, designed as pipette tips, medical reaction vessels or contact-lens molds, from an injection mold tool (11), having a removal gripper having a plurality of receiving positions (1-32; 104, 105) for receiving one injection-molded part from each of the cavities in each instance.

A method is provided for producing a multi-section plastic component in which a first plastic injection-molded individual part and a second plastic injection-molded individual part are formed. The plastic injection-molded individual parts are joined by injecting a plastic moulding compound. The plastic molding compound is a non-elastomeric thermoplastic and forms a plastic connecting component following a curing process. The plastic injection-molded individual parts and plastic connecting component are then at least partially painted.

A plastic faucet body and a die for molding the same are disclosed in present invention. The plastic faucet body comprises a left water inlet pipe (1) and a right water inlet pipe (2), wherein a connecting cross-beam (3) is disposed between the left water inlet pipe (1) and the right water inlet pipe (2), the left water inlet pipe (1) and the right water inlet pipe (2) are embedded with a threaded copper pipe (4), respectively, the copper pipes (4) are formed integrally with the plastic faucet body by means of a single stage process and are in communication with the corresponding left water inlet pipe (1) and the right water inlet pipe (2), respectively.

A method includes a first molding process and a second molding process performed repeatedly. The first molding process includes injecting resin into a first pair of molds, in which a first pair of divided pieces is formed and which is fitted together without an inner mold, to couple the first pair of divided pieces to form a first hollow article at an injection station. The second molding process includes (i) injecting resin into a third pair of molds, which is fitted together with one inner mold interposed therebetween, to mold a third pair of divided pieces at the injection station, (ii) taking out the first hollow article from the first pair of molds at a removing station, and (iii) removing another inner mold from a second pair of molds while leaving a second pair of divided pieces between the second pair of molds at the setup station.
