A compression molding system includes a first extruder to output melted plastic, and a second extruder downstream from the first extruder to mix the melted plastic with wood chips to output a composite material. A transfer valve alternately directs the composite material between inner block molds and outer block molds. Each inner block mold has an inner block press associated therewith to press the composite material into a desired shape of an inner block having an opening on one side. Each outer block mold has an outer block press associated therewith to press the composite material into a desired shape of an outer block having an opening on one side. A press assembly presses one of the inner blocks into the opening in one of the outer blocks to form a double wall block.

An apparatus for molding a part includes a plunger cavity, a plunger, and a mold cavity, wherein the plunger is oriented out-of-plane with respect to a major surface of the mold cavity, and first and second vents couples to respective first and second portions of the mold cavity. In a method, resin and fiber are forced into the mold cavity from a plunger cavity, and at least some of the fibers and resin are preferentially flowed to certain region in the mold cavity via the use of vents.

A method for processing a curved plastic panel is to first form a hard coating layer, an optical function layer, and a printing layer on a flat plastic substrate, and then cut it into a predetermined shape, and then use a hot pressing and curving device to perform a hot pressing and curving process to the flat plastic substrate in order to make it becoming a curved plastic substrate. The hot pressing and curving device can simultaneously perform hot pressing during the heating process, and has the functions of real-time monitoring of the local temperature and the local curvature forming state, and then feedback to the local heating and curvature forming mechanism for adjustments. The monitoring of temperature and curvature can be divided into multiple stages, which can be monitored stage by stage and adjusted for heating or curvature forming to improve production yield.

A die assembly for forming finished parts from blanks includes an upper die section and a lower die section. The upper die section includes an upper segmented die having a plurality of upper die segments releasably coupled to each other. The lower die section includes a lower segmented die having a plurality of lower die segments releasably coupled to each other. The die assembly is usable with a movable gantry press configured to move to a location of the die assembly and operate the die assembly.

A punch pin hole inspection apparatus and method uses a punch and a die capable of checking defects or damage, specifically pin holes or microcracks, due to shaping immediately after finishing shaping a laminate sheet into a battery case using the punch.

A disposable drink-through dome lid for disposable drinking cups used in the sale of hot or cold beverages, the top of the lid elevated above the top of the beverage cup when in place. The lid's outer wall is elevated to form a drink ridge adapted to the user's lips for drinking through a generally oval-shaped drink-through orifice. Ideally, the drink-through orifice includes: a drink-through chamber having a drink flap capable of closing off a drink-through opening, thereby shielding against accidental spillage due to sloshing of the beverage while traveling; and a recessed orifice ridge on the interior side of the drink-through orifice, directs froth exiting the drink opening into a spill reservoir. A vent opening positioned near the lid's center and within a vent slot, collects and directs beverage exiting the vent into the spill reservoir.

The present disclosure relates to a press forming apparatus, comprising: a die in which a molded portion is formed by being recessed inwardly from an upper surface thereof; a stripper for fixing an object to be formed disposed on the die; a punch provided above the die to be movable upwardly and downwardly, and inserted into the molded portion when descending, to form an accommodating portion in the object to be formed, wherein a surface of the molded portion, in contact with the object to be formed, is curved, and the punch comprises a vent for blowing air onto an upper surface of the object to be formed. According to the present disclosure, a molded portion of the pouch film may be uniformly stretched, and occurrence of cracks may be prevented, so that workability and productivity may be improved. Furthermore, long-term reliability of the secondary battery may be secured.

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a container for washing and/or cleaning agents from a water-soluble material and to a container that is obtained in accordance with the method as contemplated herein.

An apparatus for molding a part includes a plunger cavity, a plunger, and a mold cavity, wherein the plunger is oriented out-of-plane with respect to a major surface of the mold cavity, and first and second vents couples to respective first and second portions of the mold cavity. In a method, resin and fiber are forced into the mold cavity from a plunger cavity, and at least some of the fibers and resin are preferentially flowed to certain region in the mold cavity via the use of vents.

Press mold for secondary battery a press upper mold; at least two overforming punches arranged to be raised and lowered in the press upper mold; a plurality of forming punches arranged in the press upper mold to be raised and lowered between the overforming punches and the press upper mold; a press lower mold provided with a bridge forming protrusion protruding from an upper surface thereof; the bridge forming protrusion configured to form a bridge to be protruded from the pouch sheet, and a pouch sheet holder disposed to be raised and lowered on the press lower mold and fixing the pouch sheet together with the press upper mold, wherein the plurality of forming punches include a center punch in which a bridge forming groove into which a bridge is inserted is recessed on a lower surface.
