A manufacturing method for a trim element, which includes the following steps: supplying a mold in an open configuration which has a first mold part and a second mold part; positioning a first pre-formed decoration against the first mold part; positioning a wedge in contact with an edge of the first decoration; positioning a second flexible d?cor; closing the mold in a closed configuration, where the second decoration sits between the two mold parts; and back-injecting a substrate into the molding cavity, where the second decoration is pushed by the substrate against the first decoration. Also provided is an associated manufacturing device.

A protective cover (1) having a reliable sensor holder part (3B) that prevents reduction in air tightness and strength of a division wall (B) between a magnetic sensor (A) and a magnetic encoder (16). The protective cover (1) is press-fitted into an outer ring to seal one axial end portion of a bearing, and has the sensor holder part (3B) holding the magnetic sensor (A). In the protective cover (1), a disc-shaped member (3) has a thick part (6) formed as a flow path for preferentially charging a molten resin into a thin part for forming the division wall (B) in a cavity of a molding die for use in injection molding between a position corresponding to a gate of the molding die and the division wall (B).

A vehicle interior and exterior member comprises a fiber molded body and a synthetic resin member fixed to a surface of the fiber molded body. The fiber molded body has a fiber layer including thermoplastic synthetic resin as a base material layer. The base material layer has fiber layer surfaces on its both surfaces or, the base material layer has another fiber layer including the other type of thermoplastic synthetic resin on one of the fiber layer surface to form a fiber laminated body. The fiber molded body is formed by molding the fiber laminated body into a three-dimensional face shape. The synthetic resin member has a fixed portion which is fixed to the fiber molded body by solidifying it in a state that molten synthetic resin has seeped into the fiber layer of the fiber laminated body.

Injection-compression molding apparatus and methods to form a lens in a mold insert by an injecting a polymer into an internal cavity of the mold insert until a pressure of the internal cavity exceeds a predetermined force value, the first mold side being fixed and the second mold side being moveable and configured to apply a force generating the internal cavity pressure. The method includes controlling a first temperature of the first mold side to be in a range of 4 degrees Fahrenheit to 10 degrees Fahrenheit greater than a second temperature of the second mold side and controlling a coining compression distance of the second mold side to be in a range of 0.008 inches to 0.018 inches.

A molded spike port including a first portion defining a first chamber, a plug disposed in the first chamber and configured to form a seal with the first portion, a second portion defining a second chamber, the second portion including a sealing ring configured to seal the spike port to a spike, a tip configured to be inserted into a fluid bag, the tip comprising a membrane, and a wall between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the wall is configured to break when the first portion is twisted relative to the second portion.

A method of manufacturing a molded part includes inserting melt into a cavity of a first tool part, and the first tool part and a second tool part are moved away from one another during or after the insertion of the melt by moving a mold clamping plate relative to a mold clamping plate such that in the first tool part or in a second tool part an at least partial clearance of a first or second zone of the cavity takes place, and a gap is formed between the first tool part and the second tool part. Melt is further inserted into the cleared area of the cavity, and the gap is bridged by an at least already partially solidified section of the melt. A holding force is transmitted from the second tool part through the partially solidified section of the melt bridging the gap to the first tool part.

A mold clamp control method for an injection molding machine having a toggle-type mold clamping mechanism. The mold clamp control method includes: a low-pressure mold clamping step that performs position hold control by which a crosshead is held in a set holding position in a state where a toggle link has been bent, when injection-filling is started; and a compression-press step that performs speed and position control by which the crosshead is advanced toward a set advancement position from the set holding position in a state where a first output upper limit value has been provided to a driving section. Advancement of the crosshead is continued in at least part of the compression-press step in a state where a generated output of the driving section is maintained at the first output upper limit value.

A method that combines injection molding and extrusion is disclosed. First, a molten material is injected into a mold via an injection gate, the mold comprising a first portion and a second portion. Next, additional molten material is injected via the injection gate and pushed through an extrusion die located in the first portion of the mold and the second portion is separated from the first portion. In embodiments, the second portion is separated from the first portion before the additional material is injected. In other embodiments, the second portion is separated from the first portion simultaneously with the additional material being injected. The method may be used to produce longer and thinner parts with detailed features, such as catheters.

A method of producing a fiber-reinforced resin-molded member includes: preparing a mold including an upper mold and a lower mold forming a cavity, a cavity surface of either the upper mold or the lower mold being provided with a projecting portion; disposing a fiber-reinforcing material in the cavity, closing the molds to generate a state in which the projecting portion presses a part of the fiber-reinforcing material, and filling the cavity with a melted resin to impregnate the fiber-reinforcing material with the melted resin and cure the melted resin; and opening the molds to obtain a fiber-reinforced resin-molded member having an exposed portion and an embedded portion. The exposed portion includes at least a portion pressed by the projecting portion while the molds are closed.
