A mold apparatus for molding a rotating member includes: a column mold portion including a first column molding hole extending in a first direction and configured to mold a column portion therein and a first blade molding groove formed as an intaglio on an inner circumferential surface of the first column molding hole to have a shape corresponding to a blade and configured to mold the blade therein, and an extraction guide configured to push a first end of the column portion in the first direction to thereby extract the column portion from the first column molding hole, at least a portion of the extraction guide being positioned inside the first column molding hole. The extraction guide is configured to press the column portion to thereby extract the column portion from the first column molding hole while the column portion rotates in an inclined direction of the blade.

A mold for molding a body or cap for a connector. The mold comprises a mold body (1) and an axial core (2) which together define a mold cavity in the shape of the body or cap. The core has a sleeve (3) and an inner pin (4) each having complementary castellations (8, 10) which interdigitate in a first configuration. In the first configuration, the castellations (8, 10) are arranged such that respective recesses (11) are formed each bound by the proximal end of a first castellation (8) and the side walls of adjacent second castellations (10). Each recess has a shape to form a respective first portion of the body or cap. The sleeve (3) and inner pin (4) are axially movable to a second configuration in which the castellations (8, 10) are disengaged from one another. The inner pin (4) is rotatable to a third configuration in which the first castellations (8) can be axially withdrawn following a path occupied by the second castellations (10) in the first configuration.

A closure is provided with a closure bottom that is designed to close off a container opening. A circumferential wall is connected to the closure bottom. The circumferential wall has an inner thread that is formed of two or more thread sections spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the circumferential wall. The inner thread has a thread axis. The closure bottom has at least one demolding opening and the at least one demolding opening overlaps at least one of the thread sections, when viewed in the direction of the thread axis of the inner thread. An injection mold with only a first mold half and a second mold half is provided for molding the closure.

An injection molding tool includes a \ primary mold cavity forming a handle sleeve having an inner circumference with an integral transition section attached thereto, and transitioning into a shaft protruding from the handle sleeve. The handle sleeve in an area between the attachment of the transition section and a free end facing the free end of the shaft has a skirt with an internally formed fastener for securing the handle sleeve to a container. The injection molding tool has an ejector-side insert and a nozzle-side insert removable for demolding purposes. The nozzle-side insert provides the part of the main mold cavity that molds the outer circumference of the handle sleeve, and the ejector-side insert.
