Integral Anti-Rollback for Injection Molded Tape Dispensers
20180009623 · 2018-01-11 ·

A tape dispenser system includes a monolithic plastic injection molded frame with an integral anti-reverse rotation pawl. To help prevent the free end of a roll of tape from accidentally retracting, falling back, and frustratingly bonding onto the coiled portion of the tape, the pawl engages the inner diameter of a cardboard spool that holds the roll of tape. Strategically located mold parting lines and certain air gaps allow injection molding of a dispenser frame that has two spool-supporting sidewalls plus the integral pawl.

Method of manufacturing inter-dental cleaning tool

In order to prevent shaft portion from being broken in ejection of base portion from mold, method for manufacturing interdental cleaning tool includes: base portion forming step of forming base portion by filling first space of primary mold (50) with synthetic resin, which includes first and second mold members (50A, 50B); and cleaning portion forming step of forming cleaning portion around shaft portion by filling second space of secondary mold with elastomer. Base portion forming step uses first and second mold members (50A, 50B). First and second molds include: first and second contact surfaces (51A, 51B); pair of first and second spaced-apart portions (54A, 54B); and first and second connection portions (52A, 52B), angle (θ) between each of first and second spaced-apart portions (54A, 54B) and separation plane being acute.

Cutting-edge structures and method of manufacturing cutting-edge structures

A novel cutting-edge structure and method and apparatus for manufacturing the cutting-edge structure is provided. The cutting-edge structure is comprised of naturally derived or renewable material at greater than 50% by volume fraction. In one embodiment, the naturally derived material is a cellulose nanostructure such as a cellulose nanocrystal. The cellulose nanocrystal is processed using a base or mold structure to provide a cutting edge of any shape such as linear or circular edge structures. The process includes dual cure steps to produce an optimal cutting-edge structure without shrinkage. The formed cutting-edge structure can be utilized as a razor blade as it is formed with very sharp tip and edge suitable for cutting hair. The base structure can form one or more cutting-edge structures simultaneously.

MULTILAYER COMPOSITE INTERIOR COMPONENT

Provided is a multilayer composite interior component, in which boundary protrusions (20b) aligned in a row on both sides of a parting line (L) are arranged in a staggered manner so as to bend toward the boundary protrusions (20b) in the row opposite thereto. In this way, even when the boundary protrusions (20b) are separated from the parting line (L) by a predetermined distance (g1, g2) in order to maintain the strength of a divided mold, the boundary protrusions (20b ) bend and deform so as to fill in an empty part in the vicinity of the parting line (L) when a surface layer member (16) is pressed by fingers or a hand. As a result, a feeling of unevenness resulting from decreases in reaction force in the vicinity of the parting line (L) is minimized, thus making it possible to obtain a more uniform texture.

PROCESS AND MOLD FOR FABRICATING AN OPTICAL DEVICE, AND AN OPTICAL DEVICE
20170246767 · 2017-08-31 ·

A process for fabricating an optical device includes injecting (301) optical silicone into a mold cavity formed by two or more mutually matching mold-elements, curing (302) the optical silicone contained by the mold cavity, and separating (303) the mold-elements from the optical device constituted by the optical silicone. The reversible elasticity of the optical silicone after the curing phase is utilized in the process so that at least one of the mold-elements has counterdraft which causes a reversible deformation in the optical device when the mold-element is separated from the optical device. As the counterdraft is allowable, the shape of the optical device as well as the dividing joints between the mold-elements can be designed more freely. For example, walls of the mold cavity corresponding to optically active surfaces of the optical device can be arranged to be free from dividing joints between the mold-elements.
