Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced resin molded article capable of distributing the pressure without concentration on the vicinity of the resin inlet and so preventing the deformation of a preform, and such a manufacturing device thereof. The method lowers a lower core as a moving core in a lower mold (first mold) (away from a preform) to let resin flow toward the lower mold (first mold). This distributes the pressure concentrated in the vicinity of the resin inlet and prevents deformation of the preform.

A method is provided for configuring fluid in a programable fluid array which includes applying a sequence of magnetic fields to a movable fluidic network component; which includes a magnetic object to produce a force on the component. In one arrangement the fluid array includes a plurality of pre-formed channels and at least one property of at least one of said pre-formed channels is changed by the movable fluidic network component in another arrangement the fluid array comprises an injection molding system where the programmable fluid array is used to improve the speed and accuracy of the injection molding process and/or to additionally modify the shape and form of a molded object. In this arrangement the fluidic network component follows a path through the mold cavity determined at least in part by a sequence of magnetic fields and exerts a force on molding material therein.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced resin molded article capable of effectively reducing the occurrence of a preform with poor resin impregnation, and such a manufacturing device thereof. After it is detected that a predetermined amount (the same amount) of resin has been individually poured into a plurality of cavities provided in a mold, the fiber layers of preforms are impregnated (compressively filled) with resin. Pressure sensors for detecting a resin injection amount are used. When closing runners, a small gap is formed in the runners.

The invention relates to a method for applying a sealing member onto the cup-shaped container of a capsule intended for producing a beverage in a beverage production device, wherein the container has a bottom wall, a side wall with an outer surface, an open end and an annular flange which extends from the side wall of the container at the open end; the flange comprising a flange outer surface merging with the outer surface of the side wall at a transition area an flange inner surface opposite to the outer surface for being sealed with a beverage delivery wall, the method comprising the steps of: depositing molten thermoplastic polymer material by a depositing apparatus onto the outer surface of the annular flange and/or onto the transition area, subsequently pressing the thermoplastic polymer material by a punch-die while the material still being plastically deformable so as to conform it in its final shape onto the outer surface of the annular flange and/or onto the transition area thereby forming it into an annular sealing member attached to the container. The invention further relates to a device adapted for carrying out the method.

The present invention relates to the use of thermoplastic polymer compositions for impregnating reinforcing materials in the form of fabric or industrial fabrics for the manufacture of composite materials. The field of the invention is that of composite materials as well as molding/consolidation processes and obtained parts. The invention more particularly relates to a method of manufacturing a composite article by injection molding comprising at least the steps of introducing at least one reinforcement fabric into a preheated mold, partial closure of the mold, a temperature rise step of the mold, optionally a step of maintaining the temperature of the mold before injection of a thermoplastic polymer composition, a step of injecting a thermoplastic polymer composition into the mold, a step of mold closure to the final part thickness allowing the flow of the resin through the reinforcing fabric, a cooling step and a recovery step of the obtained composite article.

A vehicle interior and exterior member comprises a fiber molded body (2) and a synthetic resin member (4) fixed to a surface of the fiber molded body (2). The fiber molded body (2) has a fiber layer including thermoplastic synthetic resin (13) as a base material layer (11). The base material layer (11) has fiber layer surfaces on its both surfaces or, the base material layer (11) 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 (2) is formed by molding the fiber laminated body into a three-dimensional face shape. The synthetic resin member (4) has a fixed portion (6) which is fixed to the fiber molded body (2) by solidifying it in a state that molten synthetic resin has seeped into the fiber layer of the fiber laminated body.

The invention relates to a preform for producing a plastic container in a 2-stage stretch blow molding method, said preform having a preform body that extends along a central axis and that comprises: a first end a second end that lies opposite the first end, wherein the first end is closed and a neck part with a pouring opening adjoins the second end; and an inner wall that delimits an interior of the preform. Along a length of at least 30 mm of the interior, every point of the inner wall is at a distance of less than 3.5 mm from the central axis. Also disclosed are a suitable method and a device for producing such a preform.

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 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.

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.
