An angular interlock for a swivel feature formed using injection molding techniques is described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, the swivel feature is used for a conduit for delivering breathing therapy to a patient, and includes an outer swivel component and an inner swivel component formed using a two-shot molding technique. The outer swivel component is formed first out of a material, such as polycarbonate, having a low shrink rate, whereas the inner swivel component is formed of a material, such as polypropylene, having a high shrink rate. The material for the inner swivel component is injected into the formed outer swivel component and allowed to cool, creating a clearance. The outer swivel component includes an angular interlock protrusion that allows the inner swivel component to be formed without creating an interface about the angular interlock protrusion, which typically occurs with standard rectangular interlocks.

This ball joint is provided with: a ball stud, one end being fastened to a suspension device/stabilizer, and the other end having a ball part; a housing that rotatably supports the ball part of the ball stud; and a ball seat provided so as to be interposed between the housing and the ball part, the ball seat having an inner spherical part for accommodating the ball part. The ball seat is provided to the housing by insert injection molding. The inside diameter dimension of the inner spherical part formed by separate injection molding is set to a dimension corresponding to the anticipated amount of molding shrinkage of the resin during the insert injection molding.

The invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of a bearing element of a shift device for a motor vehicle transmission. In a first process step a bearing element is provided, which comprises at least one projection and a coupling joint for the mechanical coupling of a selector lever in order to select a shift position of a motor vehicle transmission. The projection is overmolded by means of an assembly injection molding process with a bearing bushing material in order to form a bearing bushing to mount the bearing element in a moveable manner.

A portion of a holder is in contact with a lens surface, a holding portion configured to hold a lens in the holder is provided, and a mold shrinkage factor of a material that forms the holder is smaller than a mold shrinkage factor of a material that forms the lens by no less than 0.3%.
