Disclosed is an injection mold for manufacturing an injection-molded article to which a substrate is bound in-mold during injection, the substrate having an adhering surface for binding to the article and a leading edge at an upstream end of the substrate. The injection mold comprises a first mold component and a second mold component together defining a cavity into which a molten plastic material is injected to form the article. The injection mold includes a flow deflector disposed on at least one of the first and second mold components, wherein the flow deflector deflects a flow of the molten plastic material over the leading edge of the substrate such that the flow makes first contact with the substrate downstream of the leading edge, thereby forming a temporary air pocket at the leading edge of the substrate which is then back-filled by the subsequent flow of the molten plastic material.

A method for processing film webs including providing at least two film webs that are arranged next to one another in a direction substantially perpendicular to the feed direction and have motifs, delivering the at least two film webs that are arranged next to one another into the injection mold and aligning the at least two film webs that are arranged next to one another in such a way that each motif is arranged register-accurate with respect to a respective cavity. A feed device includes at least two film pay-off reels and at least two film take-up reels, wherein one film pay-off reel and one film take-up reel is assigned to each film web. An injection mold for back injection molding at least two film webs having motifs has at least two cavities.

Provided is a decorated molding article includes a workpiece and a molded film attached to an outer surface of the workpiece or an inner surface of the workpiece. Compared with the printing layer in the conventional In Mold Label (IML) and InSert molding (INS) that is made by a plurality of anti-impact and bonding processes, a plurality of stacked decorative layers of the embodiment not only provide various color effects, but also directly combined with injection molding material to form part products and have both a protection effect and an adhesive effect. Further, the present disclosure can effectively simplify the manufacturing steps of the composite layer structure and reduce the manufacturing cost.

In a method for applying of IML films on crates, in particular bottle crates, a single, the entire crate circumference enclosing IML label is used, which is transferred via an insertion gripper after completion of cutting to the appropriate length in a tool for injection molding of the crate made of plastic and is inserted.

Disclosed is a display for a vehicle including a plastic cover lens including a lens, a front film disposed on a front surface of the lens, and a rear film disposed on a rear surface of the lens, a super retardation film (SRF) adhered to a rear surface of the plastic cover lens using an optically clear adhesive (OCA), a liquid crystal display module adhered to a rear surface of the super retardation film using the optically clear adhesive, a panel-front assembled at the rear of the plastic cover lens, in close contact with and supporting the liquid crystal display module, and preventing deformation of the plastic cover lens, and a rear cover assembled at the rear of the panel-front.

The present invention provides a multilayer label having good gas barrier properties and is capable of maintaining the gas barrier properties at a high level even when exposed to physical stresses such as deformation and impart. The present invention relates to a multilayer label for in-mold labeling. This multilayer label includes a base (X), a layer (Z) containing an aluminum atom, and a layer (Y) containing a polymer (A) having a functional group containing a phosphorus atom.

A multilayer, metallized, laminate film employed to form in-mold labels, includes first and second multilayer structures adhesively bonded together. The first multilayer structure includes a polymer core layer and first and second outer polymer layers on opposed sides of the core layer. The first outer polymer layer includes a metal layer thereon, and the second polymer layer having an outer matte surface that is adapted, in the in-mold label formed from laminate film, to engage and bond to a molded article. The second multilayer structure is a clear structure including a core layer and first and second outer polymer layers on opposed sides of the core layer. The bonded interface of the first and second multilayer structures is free of any printed indicia or other graphics. Preferably both outer surfaces of the film are bottom outer layers and include matte surfaces.

A label in accordance with this invention is formed from the above-described laminate film by printing an outer surface of the film either before or after the film/label is printed.

A method of applying a printed molded label formed from the laminate film of this invention to a molded article during the molding operation also forms a part of this invention.

The present invention concerns a method for the production of a moulded body containing at least one volume hologram by means of injection moulding, comprising the following method steps: provision of a hologram film composite having two sides comprising at least one photopolymer layer with at least one volume hologram, a shear protective layer and a substrate layer, and optionally, further composite film layers, insertion of the hologram film composite into a metallic injection mould, such that one side of the hologram film composite is at least partially in contact with the injection mould wall, introduction of a molten thermoplastic polymer for the production of the moulded body, wherein at least the outermost layer of the hologram film composite on the side of the hologram film composite coming into contact with the molten polymer contains essentially the same polymer raw materials as the molten thermoplastic polymer, and extrusion coating of the hologram film composite with the molten thermoplastic polymer, and solidification of the molten thermoplastic polymer.

The invention also concerns a moulded body produced in this manner and advantageous applications of this moulded body.

An automated in-mold label handling and product unloading device for use with a plastic material injection molding machine includes a label handling arm provided with a label holder at an outer end thereof, and a product unloading arm provided with a product gripper at an outer end thereof. The device has a stationary frame and a first linear guide device that supports the label handling arm so as to reciprocate along a y-axis direction. The device has a second linear guide device that supports the product unloading arm so as to reciprocate along a y-axis direction. The first and second linear guide devices are guided relative to the frame to be movable parallel to the x-axis. A label handling arm x-axis drive mechanism has a first drive motor mounted on the frame and a first transmission coupled to said first drive motor and to the first linear guide device.

An embodiment relates to a vehicular lamp and a vehicle comprising the same, the vehicular lamp comprising: a lens portion; and a light source portion for emitting light toward the lens portion, wherein the lens portion comprises a body having least one curved surface and a film portion arranged on one side of the body so as to generate a 3D stereoscopic image using the light, and the lens portion is injected in an in-mold labelling (IML) type using a mold. Accordingly, the design-related degree of freedom can be improved, thereby providing an enhanced aesthetic appearance, and the manufacturing process can be simplified, thereby improving the productivity.
