An injection molding device for producing a multicomponent injection molded product includes at least one first and at least one second outer mold plate arranged in a movable manner between an open position and a closed position. A central part arranged between the first and the second outer mold plate includes a first part which in the open position is arranged rotatable about an axis of rotation and to which first inner mold plates are attached which include first cavity segments. A second part arranged non-rotatable includes on one side in the direction of the first outer mold plate second cavity segments and on an opposite side in the direction of the second outer mold plate third cavity segments. Second inner mold plates clamp related intermediate products and in the open position are arranged displaceable in a radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation and rotatable around the second part to transport the intermediate products from the second cavity segments to the third cavity segments around the second part of the central part.

The disclosure is directed to an injection molding device (1) comprising an injection molding machine and an injection mold (2) arranged therein. At least one first and at least one second outer mold half (3, 4) are arranged in a movable manner relative to each other in a first direction (x). A central part (5) that is arranged there between and comprise s a lower part (6) an upper part (7) which are arranged rotatable about a rotational axis (8). The lower part (6) and the upper part (7) are separated from each other by a bearing arrangement (9) arranged between the upper part (7) and the lower part (6).

A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.

An injection molding machine includes a machine base extending along a horizontal machine axis; a stationary platen fixed to the base; a moving platen supported by the base; a center section supported by the base axially intermediate the stationary and moving platens; at least one mold stroke actuator for translating the moving platen and the center section along the machine axis between a mold-open position and a mold-closed position; a two-stage first injection unit supported by the base behind the stationary platen for injecting a first resin through the stationary platen; and a two-stage second injection unit supported by the base behind the moving platen for injecting a second resin through the moving platen. The second injection unit is translatable along the machine axis to accommodate translation of the moving platen during movement between the mold-open and mold-closed positions.
