A housing having a rotary axis and configured to support at least one radially projecting cutting component that effects cutting as the housing is turned around the rotary axis. The housing has a first housing part with a first wall and a plurality of discrete circumferentially spaced cavities in the first wall and each having a volume. The volumes of at least a first and second of the cavities respectively at first and second locations are different and strategically selected to cause a mass distribution on the housing that contributes to improved dynamic balancing of the housing as the housing is turned around the rotary axis.

A cavity includes a first cavity portion, and a second cavity portion that is formed between the first cavity portion and a runner and that corresponds to a baseboard. There is adopted a configuration in which a foamed admixture is supplied to the first cavity portion via the second cavity portion upon being supplied to the cavity via the runner. A collision portion with which the foamed admixture supplied to the cavity can collide before reaching the first cavity portion is formed at the second cavity portion.

A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade including: arranging an upper mold on a lower wherein a dry fiber lay-up is arranged in the upper mold or in the upper mold and the lower mold, applying vacuum to a space between the upper and lower molds, and infusing the dry fiber lay-up in the upper and/or lower molds with resin through at least one upper resin inlet arranged at an upper portion of the upper mold. Having the at least one upper resin inlet of the upper mold improves the vacuum-assisted resin infusion. Resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet has to be raised by a smaller height to reach the top of the mold. A resin flow of the resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet is supported in a downward direction by the gravitational force.

An apparatus for making a foam material body has a mold comprising at least two mold halves fittable together to form separate first and second mold cavities; a first sprue opening into the first mold cavity, and a second sprue opening into the second mold cavity. The mold parts can be moved between an open and a closed position. Foam can be injected into the first and second mold cavities through the respective sprues. A passage, for example, connects the sprue with the mold cavity. The first mold cavity and the second mold cavity are partitioned from one another in the closed position of the mold.

The present invention relates to a method and to a mould system (70) for manufacturing a shear web for a wind turbine blade as well as to a backing plate (66) for such method and mould system. The method involves arranging one or more fibre layers on top of a web mould part (61), arranging backing plates (66) at each end to create a mould cavity between the first and second backing plate (66, 68) and the web mould part (61). Each backing plate (66, 68) comprises an inner moulding surface (80), outer surfaces (98, 100) and a channel (82) or groove (83) extending between at least one of the outer surfaces (98, 100) and the inner moulding surface (80). Resin is supplied to the mould cavity via each channel or groove of the first and second backing plate (66, 68), and subsequently the resin is cured or hardened to form the shear web.

The present invention provides a rubber injection guide plate for guiding injection of unvulcanized mixed rubber, comprising a plate body, wherein the plate body is provided with: a rubber injection port to be connected with an external injection head to inject unvulcanized mixed rubber; and an annular rubber injection channel for leading the externally injected unvulcanized mixed rubber out in an annular distribution manner.

The invention relates to an impregnation mould for manufacturing a turbine engine part, made of composite material, obtained from a preform made of a weave of fibres, said mould having first and second portions provided with respective recesses that define a cavity capable of receiving the preform, in which at least one injection means of the mould allows a resin to be injected in order to impregnate said preform, wherein said at least one injection means has a plurality of tubular injection needles, which are capable of extending from at least one of the first and second recesses to penetrate at least the weave of the preform in order to allow resin to be injected.

A mold element, in particular a casting mold for manufacturing microstructures, in particular microneedle arrays, includes a base body. On an upper side of the base body, several depressions for receiving material for manufacturing the microstructure are provided. In order to improve the quality of the microstructure to be manufactured, in particular during a drying process, channels are provided on the upper side of the base body, each of which is connected to at least one of the depressions.

An article of footwear may include an upper forming a void within the footwear, a sole structure secured to the upper, and a chamber that encloses a pressurized fluid. The sole structure includes a depression. The chamber is located within the void of the upper and located on the depression of the sole structure. The chamber may include a plurality of fluid-filled subchambers, a manifold, and a connection fluidically-connected at least one of the subchambers to the manifold. The subchambers may enclose the pressurized fluid at different pressures. The subchambers may be separated from one another by a bonded area in the direction extending between the heel and toe of the chamber.

A moulding device, for forming lenses by moulding, includes: a moulding element including indentations formed in a face of the moulding element; a transparent plate held with respect to the moulding element so as to form, with the indentations, a cavity intended to allow the formation of a plurality of lenses; at least one injection passage intended to allow moulding product to be introduced into the cavity, the injection passage being arranged between the transparent plate and the moulding element; a moulding product injector arranged so as to allow moulding product to be introduced into the injection passage. The injector is removable, and the moulding device is configured so as to allow the injector to be removed while at the same time keeping the transparent plate held with respect to the moulding element.
