The present invention relates to a method for the production of plastic footwear (10; 100) of the “full plastic” type by means of moulding using a polyurethane mixture (M; P). The method comprises the steps of: —providing a mould (20) having a mould cavity (22) defined by at least two impressions (28, 30) and designed to receive a shoe last (24) so as to define, when the mould (20) is closed, an interspace (26) having the shape and dimensions of the plastic footwear (10; 100) to be produced; —spraying a polyurethane mixture (M, P) onto said at least two impressions (28, 30) of the mould cavity (22); —inserting the shoe last (24) inside said mould cavity (22); —closing the mould cavity (22) so that the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) occupies said interspace (26); —opening the mould (20), once at least the demoulding time (td) for the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) has lapsed, such that the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) has solidified inside the interspace (26) forming said plastic footwear (10, 100); —extracting the shoe last (24) from the mould cavity (22); —removing the plastic footwear (10, 100) from the shoe last (24).

The present disclosure provides for an under-support, which includes curved end portions and a support portion extending between the curved end portion. The support portion includes a plurality of openings. The present disclosure further provides for the under-support embedded in a foam cup. When the disclosed under-support is embedded in a foam cup, the foam extends through the openings in the support portion.

Disclosed are methods for forming a double-sided optical sheet, and a vehicle lamp assembly having the double-sided optical sheet integrated therein. A first optical pattern is imprinted on a first side of a material, and a second optical pattern is imprinted on a second side of the material, opposite the first side. The first and second optical patterns are thereby formed on opposing sides of the same sheet. When oriented adjacent a light source, the double-sided optical sheet homogenizes light emitted from the light source. For a light source having a plurality of lighting elements, the double-sided optical sheet is configured to blend light emitted from the plurality of lighting elements to form one homogenous beam of light output resulting from a single light-modifying member.

An article of footwear can include an upper. The upper includes a knitted portion having yarns partially fused to adjacent yarns and filaments of the partially fused yarns that are partially fused to adjacent filaments. Methods for manufacturing an article of footwear including an upper having a partially fused knitted portion are also described.

The present invention aims to provide a medical rubber stopper that is excellent in chemical resistance and airtightness while having good productivity. The present invention relates to a medical rubber stopper including: a disk-shaped head portion with a flange region; and a cylindrical leg portion protruding from the lower surface of the head portion and having a smaller diameter than the head portion, the lower surface of the flange region and the leg portion being laminated with an inert film, the lower surface of the flange region and/or the outer periphery of the leg portion being provided with an annular groove through which the base rubber is exposed.

A method for producing a decorated plastic molded article with the steps: a) providing a base body made of a fiber composite plastic b) providing a decorative film; c) heating the base body; d) joining the base body and the decorative film in a mold.

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for forming a structural member may include providing a sheet of structural material and compression molding an in-mold decoration film to a side of the sheet of structural material. In accordance with these and other embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for forming a structural member may include providing a sheet of structural material and adhesively bonding a chassis attachment frame to the sheet of structural material, the chassis attachment frame having one or more attachment features for mechanically coupling the structural member to other one or more other components. In accordance with these and other embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for forming a structural member may include providing a sheet of structural material and molding a chassis attachment frame comprising sheet molding compound to the structural material.

In one embodiment, a method of forming a product used in covering an edge, comprising: providing a molding agent between a first surface of a first material and a second surface of a second material; forming, at one end portion corresponding to each of the first material and the second material and the molding agent, a predefined geometric shape that is different than an opposing end of each of the first material and the second material; and persistently maintaining the predefined geometric shape by curing the molding agent.

This workpiece molding apparatus has a mold member equipped with a pair of metal molds that hold therebetween a workpiece being a laminate of a workpiece body and a surface skin material, and that are capable of holding, through suction, the workpiece body and the surface skin material, said workpiece molding apparatus being provided with: a surface skin material retention part which is disposed laterally to the mold member so as to retain the surface skin material and which forms a level difference between the retaining position of the workpiece body and the retaining position of the surface skin material in a non-bonded area where the surface skin material is not bonded to the workpiece body; and a forward-and-backward moving member which is disposed at the portion where the level difference is formed at the non-bonded area so as to cover an upside of the non-bonded area of the workpiece body.

a method for manufacturing a part made of composite material includes the steps of placing, in a mold, a fibrous preform including reinforcing fibers and being resin-impregnated, positioning a prefabricated element in the mold in contact with the fibrous preform at a predefined location of the fibrous preform, the prefabricated element having a predefined form and being produced in composite material comprising partially polymerized resin, compressing the assembly formed by the fibrous preform and the prefabricated element in the mold, heating the assembly formed by the fibrous preform and the prefabricated element in the mold to polymerize the resin and thus binding the prefabricated element with the fibrous preform in order to form the part made of composite material.
