A slide piece driving mechanism includes a side surface guiding portion, a shaft portion, and stopper releasing element. The side surface guiding portion is disposed at a movable side mold to guide a side surface of a slide piece to be slidably movable. The shaft portion of a stopper is disposed at the side surface guiding portion. When the slide piece reaches an upper end position, the shaft portion engages with a stopper hole of the slide piece to prevent the slide piece from falling from the upper end position due to own weight. The stopper releasing element releases the engagement of the shaft portion of the stopper with the stopper hole to allow the slide piece from falling from the upper end position due to its own weight.

A tubular container and container forming device and method according to the present invention provides a dispensing tubular container having a dispensing end, a sealed end, and a region along the length of the tubular container having surface variations (e.g. outward extending teeth) formed along the length of the tubular container as part of the tubular container over which a movable compression device may move, engage and be longitudinally retained as it is advanced toward the dispensing end. The teeth may have a radial and lateral wall thicknesses similar or equal to the tubular container wall thickness, to thicknesses greater than the tubular container wall thickness, and further include varying radial thickness or profile along an exterior dimension (e.g. length) of the tubular container. Also included are structures and processes to provide an injection molded polyethylene or polypropylene tubular container having longitudinal formations of desired wall thicknesses or profile.

Tooling for use in forming a variable taper component is provided. The tooling includes an inner mandrel and an outer mandrel disposed around the inner mandrel. The inner mandrel includes a master insert defining opposed tapered edge faces, an external surface having a variable taper and a plurality of recesses configured to receive at least a portion of the variable taper component, and a tapered internal surface. The inner mandrel also includes a plurality of interlocking pieces arranged concentrically around the master insert, and a tapered inner sleeve disposed against the tapered internal surfaces of the plurality of interlocking pieces and the master insert. The outer mandrel defines a corresponding plurality of recesses configured to receive at least a portion of the variable taper component, wherein a maximum width of the interlocking pieces and the master insert is smaller than a minimum width of ends of the variable taper component.

A rotary core includes an undercut portion molding section for molding an undercut portion in a resin-molded article, and a seal portion abutting on a mold main body. In a side view viewed from a direction orthogonal to the direction in which a shaft member serving as the rotation center of the rotary core extends, a first imaginary line extending along the inner edge of the seal portion, and a second imaginary line extending from the rotation center to the first imaginary line and orthogonal to the first imaginary line are drawn. The seal portion includes a portion that is located on a lower side of the second imaginary line and is bent inward in the width direction as compared with a portion of the seal portion that is located on an upper side of the second imaginary line.

A mold for molding a body or cap for a connector. The mold comprises a mold body (1) and an axial core (2) which together define a mold cavity in the shape of the body or cap. The core has a sleeve (3) and an inner pin (4) each having complementary castellations (8, 10) which interdigitate in a first configuration. In the first configuration, the castellations (8, 10) are arranged such that respective recesses (11) are formed each bound by the proximal end of a first castellation (8) and the side walls of adjacent second castellations (10). Each recess has a shape to form a respective first portion of the body or cap. The sleeve (3) and inner pin (4) are axially movable to a second configuration in which the castellations (8, 10) are disengaged from one another. The inner pin (4) is rotatable to a third configuration in which the first castellations (8) can be axially withdrawn following a path occupied by the second castellations (10) in the first configuration.

An inner mandrel for forming a variable taper component includes a master insert and a plurality of interlocking pieces. The master insert includes opposed tapered edge faces, each tapered edge face defining at least one locking feature, a first surface having a variable taper and a plurality of recesses configured to receive a portion of the variable taper component, and a tapered second surface opposite the first surface. Each interlocking piece includes opposed tapered edge faces, one of the opposed tapered edge faces defining a locking feature and another of the opposed tapered edge faces defining a receiving feature to engage the locking feature of an adjacent interlocking piece, a first surface defining a variable taper and a plurality of recesses configured to receive a portion of the variable taper component, and a tapered second surface opposite the first surface.

Provided is a molding method of a sealing cover, realized by setting up a sealing cover mold, the mold includes a cavity and a core group arranged in the cavity, including setting up a first core and a second core, the mold opening direction of the first core and the second core are not parallel. The present application does not need a process hole to perform the injection molding of the sealing cover with a fastening structure, whose sealing is also better.

A mold for manufacturing a faucet body is disclosed, including: a lower mold base; and an upper mold base forming a mold cavity. A first and second core-pulling mechanisms are slidably arranged at two ends of the lower mold base respectively, the first core-pulling mechanism is provided with a first mold core set including a valve seat mounting groove mold core, a water outlet channel mold core and a water inlet channel mold core. The valve seat mounting groove mold core and the water outlet channel mold core are fixedly arranged on one side of the first core-pulling mechanism facing the mold cavity, the water inlet channel mold core is connected with a rotating block, the other end of the rotating block is rotatably arranged on the first core-pulling mechanism. The second core-pulling mechanism is provided with a second mold core set.
