A method of producing a package closure (10) of plastic material by means of a mould comprising movable jaws (35, 36), a counterpart (37), an outer first tool core part (38), an inner second tool core part (39) and an ejector (40), wherein the outer first tool core part, the second tool core part and the ejector are axially displaceable relative each other, comprising the steps of axially displacing the outer first tool core part and the second tool core part in relation to each other in a first direction, thereby disengaging the cap from the outer first tool core part while keeping the inner second tool core part engaged with the cap, and then axially displacing the inner second tool core part and the outer first tool core part and/or the ejector (32) in relation to each other in the first direction or in an opposite second direction while folding a foldable portion (21) of the package closure inward through an inherent flexibility of the package closure (10), Disclosed is also a device for producing the package closure (10) and various embodiments of package closures.

The invention relates to a steering wheel (1), especially a leather steering wheel, comprising a steering wheel skeleton (10), a foam padding (11) surrounding the steering wheel skeleton (10) at least partially and a wrapping (12) which encompasses the foam padding (11) at least in portions, wherein adjacent longitudinal edges (13) of the wrapping (12) are covered by a profile bead (20), in particular a decorative bead (24), the profile bead (20) including at least one anchoring element (21) which is fixed directly in the foam padding (11) for fastening the wrapping (12). Moreover the invention relates to a method of manufacturing such steering wheel.

A consumer product container for packaging a consumer product comprising a top portion, a bottom portion and an intermediate body portion disposed between and integral with, the top and bottom portions. The top portion includes an opening defining a lip having an internally-facing sealing surface configured to seal with a mating sealing surface of a closing cap. The bottom portion defines a base being substantially parallel to a plane which is normal to a longitudinal axis. The intermediate body portion circumscribes the longitudinal axis and defines an outwardly-directed draft angle relative to the longitudinal axis to facilitate stacking of multiple containers during shipment.

A device for producing a silicone rubber cupping appliance is provided. The device includes a nozzle, an internal mould core, a separable slide comprising at least two separable slide blocks; and a blowing-demoulding unit. A mould cavity used for moulding the silicone rubber cupping appliance is formed between the slide and the internal mould core. One end of the nozzle is connected to a channel that transports liquid silicone rubber material, and another end of the nozzle is connected to the mould cavity. The blowing-demoulding unit is connected to the mould cavity through a blow duct opening which is set at a contact surface of the internal mould core and the mould cavity.

A forced extraction molded article that can prevent damage during forced extraction is provided. The force extraction molded article (1) is formed of a polyarylene sulfide resin composition so as to include a cylindrical portion, wherein the cylindrical portion (10) has at a forward end portion a bulge (11), and an inner surface including a step in the outer diameter direction at the forward end portion, a portion excluding the step has a gradient such that the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion increases toward the forward end portion, and equation (a) below using a thickness D2 between a connection portion at the step on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion and the outer surface excluding the bulge, a height D4 of the step, and a height Dt of the gradient excluding the step on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion is satisfied. $\begin{array}{cc}\left[\mathrm{Equation}1\right]& \\ 0.001\frac{\frac{D2}{2}-D4}{D2}\frac{Dt}{D2}0.44& \mathrm{Equation}\left(a\right)\end{array}$

A luggage case including at least one injection moulded shell having an interior region and including a sidewall defining at least in part an integrally formed outer rim and an integrally formed inner rim positioned interior of the outer rim. The inner rim extends along at least a portion of the length of the outer rim, and the inner rim extends at an acute angle away from the sidewall. Support features extend between the outer rim and the inner rim.

A fastening system for fastening a distribution member, such as a pump, on a neck of a reservoir to form a distributor for a fluid product includes a fastening ring and a rigid collar, the ring including a skirt intended to be engaged around the neck. The skirt includes articulated fastening tabs angled outwards with respect to a central axis X of the ring, and the collar is able to be moved with respect to the skirt and engaged around the skirt so as to fold back the articulated tabs to a radial alignment with the axis X.
