A cover for a radar sensor for motor vehicles, which has a wall provided with a three-dimensional relief structure, in which the wall including the relief structure is made of deep-drawn glass.

A thermoplastics injection molding process coats a field joint of a pipeline by positioning a mold tool around the field joint to define a mold cavity. Thermoplastics material injected into the mold cavity forms a field joint coating that will set in the mold cavity. As the thermoplastics material shrinks in the mold cavity while the field joint coating sets, compacting pressure is applied radially inwardly within the mold cavity against a radially outer side of the field joint coating. A compacting fluid introduced into the mold cavity between the mold tool and the field joint coating may be used to apply pressure against the field joint coating. This accelerates and controls cooling of the field joint coating while maximizing quality.

A mirror for a head-up display, in particular for a head-up display for transportation is disclosed. A head-up display comprising such a mirror is also disclosed. The mirror has a base body with a planar region and a rib arranged at a periphery of the planar region. A mirror layer is arranged on the planar region wherein the rib has an anti-reflective structure.

A mold insert and an injection-molding machine including the mold insert. The mold insert has at least one filament cavity and a stack of at least a first and second insert plates, wherein the first plate has a front face that closely abuts a front face of the second insert plate. A portion of the a filament cavity is provided in at least one of the front faces of the first and second insert plates such that the filament cavity is open at a top surface of the mold insert but does not extend to a bottom surface of the mold insert. A venting cavity is provided in the same front face of the insert plate in which the portion of the at least one filament cavity is provided.

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 method of manufacturing a unitary toothbrush head having a base and filaments extending therefrom. The method includes steps of injecting molten plastic material into a mold cavity having a pre-base cavity and a filament cavity extending therefrom; compressing the molten plastic material, once it is essentially filling the pre-base cavity, by impressing a punching tool into the molten plastic material from the rear side of the pre-base cavity being opposite to a side from which the filament cavity extends; and filling the filament cavity with the molten plastic material under the continuous impression of the punching tool.

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.

An inner mandrel for forming a variable taper component includes a plurality of interlocking pieces and a brace. Each interlocking piece defines opposed tapered edge faces, a first surface, and a tapered second surface opposite the first surface. One of the edge faces defines a locking feature and another of the edge faces defines a receiving feature engaging the locking feature of an adjacent interlocking piece. The first surface defines a variable taper and a plurality of recesses. The brace secures the plurality of interlocking pieces to each other in a concentric arrangement about a central axis. A maximum width of each of the interlocking pieces is smaller than a minimum width of an end portion of the variable taper component. A central portion of the variable taper component is wider than the end portions.

The invention relates to a method for producing a diaphragm for a diaphragm valve. The method includes the steps of conveying a plastics melt through at least one feed channel into a mold cavity which is delimited by a first mold and a second mold; moving the first and second molds toward one another; removing the at least one diaphragm from the mold cavity; and cutting off a sprue from the at least one diaphragm removed from the mold cavity.

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.
