The invention relates to molding of a roller in which a roller body is provided integrally on the outer periphery of an axial core member, and the objective of the invention is to prevent the generation of a thin burr, and damage to the die. In order to achieve this objective, a die is provided with a first split die and a second split die which can butt against one another or separate from one another at mutually-opposing parting surfaces. A roller body molding surface, a cavity being defined between the axial core member and the roller body molding surface when the mold is clamped; and recessed portions which are located at both end portions of the supporting portions and extend along the parting surfaces, and which are not in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the axial core member when the mold is clamped.

A method and sealing gasket are shown for providing a sealing joint between a spigot section and a socket section of low pressure plastic pipe, such as drain waste vent pipe that require a minimum of tools and operational steps to complete. The sealing gasket is installed in one of the sections to be joined and the spigot section is inserted within a mouth opening of the socket section with the sections being pressed together in a single operation, thereby forming both the joint and the seal. The sealing gasket is a composite gasket made with one section of a hard plastic material and one section of a thermoplastic elastomer material. No glue or adhesive is required.

A method of manufacturing a substrate integrated gasket that includes applying an adhesive agent onto a surface of the substrate in a pattern that corresponds to a configuration of the substrate integrated gasket, wherein the pattern of the adhesive agent includes a first section having dimensions that correspond to a length and width of substrate integrated gasket, a plurality of second sections that extend away from the first section, and third sections that do not include the adhesive agent. The third sections that do not include the adhesive agent define a passageway between a mold cavity to an exterior of the mold that is configured to expel a gas from the mold cavity during injection of a molding material into the mold cavity.

A method of manufacturing a substrate integrated gasket includes an application step of applying an adhesive agent onto a surface of a substrate with a predetermined pattern which corresponds to an extending shape of the gasket to be formed, and a step of filling an uncured molding material into a cavity defined between the substrate and an inner surface of a metal mold by setting the substrate within the metal mold and mold clamping and curing the uncured molding material. The application step forms an adhesive agent main application area of the adhesive agent extending along an extending direction of the cavity, an adhesive agent partial application area coming into close contact with the metal mold in an outer side of the cavity, and an adhesive agent non-application area reaching a position in an inner side of the cavity from a position in an outer side of the cavity.
