Injection molded articles and methods of making injection molded articles. The methods include the use of a first plasticizing unit and a second plasticizing unit on a common frame feeding a first mold and a second mold on the common frame. Separating the production of each part of a two-part article into separate plasticizers and molds allows for the tuning of production parameters on a per-part basis, improving part flatness and part-to-part weight variance.

Disclosed herein are a golf tee used when a golfer hits a tee shot and a method of manufacturing the same. The golf tee includes a support inserted into the ground and a rotary portion coupled to the support and having a head on which a golf ball is placed, wherein the rotary portion is adjustable in angle and thus can be easily restored to a correct vertical position when the angle of the rotary portion with respect to the support is changed due to impact upon hitting.

An infusion set system includes a base and a fluid connector removably coupleable thereto. The fluid connector includes a fluid path portion and at least one connector latch displaceably connected to the fluid path portion and displaceable to a latching position in which at least a portion of the connector latch extends into the fluid path portion, which includes a cannula extending from a top interior surface thereof, and a plurality of internal sidewalls corresponding to at least two of a plurality of flat side surfaces of at least one of a base section and a base latch, thereby facilitating connection between the base and the fluid connector in a plurality of discrete rotational connecting positions. When the fluid connector is locked to the base, the at least one connector latch engages a base latching portion of the base and restricts proximal displacement of the fluid connector.

A method and system for co-injection molding of two molten plastic materials that allows monitoring and utilization of injection pressure and optionally melt pressure and/or flow front pressure during an injection run. A controller alters the injection pressure so as to achieve and maintain optimal or desired ratios of injection pressure, and optionally melt pressure and/or flow front pressure, of the two molten plastic materials. This allows for more precise part manufacture, including reducing the thickness of a skin or shell layer compared to a core layer of a molded part.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing an optical element (42, 43) having at least one optically effective surface, wherein, by means of a first injection mold of an injection-molding machine (500, 500′) liquid transparent plastic (54, P4014, P4017) is injection-molded to form a preform and/or a pre-molded part (20) having at least one preform (22, 23), the preform or the pre-molded part (20) subsequently being cooled outside the first injection mold and/or outside the injection-molding machine (500, 500′), and the preform (22, 23) to form the optical element subsequently being injection-molded and/or over-molded in a second injection mold by applying at least one layer of plastic, which forms the optically effective surface (42, 43).

Provided is a rotation member connecting structure that does not require an operation of connecting a rotation support member and the rotation member to each other and can prevent rattling of the rotation member with respect to a rotation member support member. In the rotation member connecting structure, a rotation support member 10 has a support shaft 20, and a rotation member 30 has a retention part 50. The support shaft 20 has a restriction part 25 that restricts axial movement of the support shaft 20 with respect to the retention part 50 and a sliding part 27 that slides over an inner periphery of the retention part. The rotation support member 10 and the rotation member 30 are made of materials that are not bonded to each other during molding by the resin materials. In the inner periphery of the retention part 50,a portion that closely contacts the sliding part 27 is formed to be continuous in a circumferential direction so that the rotation support member 10 and the rotation member 30 are molded in a connected state.

An injection molding apparatus for producing a plastics molding comprising a first component, a second component, and a third component comprises a first mold plate having at least 3 first mold nests, and a second mold plate having at least 3 second mold nests. In the closed state, the mold plates cooperate in the production of the plastics mold. In the opened state, the second mold plate is rotatable relative to the first mold plate. The at least 3 second mold nests comprise, in a case A), at least two second mold nests for injection molding the first component, and at least one second mold nest for injection molding the third component, or, in a case B), at least two second mold nests for injection molding the second component, and at least one second mold nest for injection molding the first component.

A cover body includes: a multi-color molded body including a first resin portion having a gate mark on an outer surface thereof, and a second resin portion having a color different from a color of the first resin portion and adhering to the outer surface of the first resin portion to cover the gate mark. An outer surface of the second resin portion includes a stepped portion that overlaps with the gate mark.

A liquid container includes a container portion and a lid. The container portion includes a plurality of storage portions separated by at least one partition rib and storing liquid respectively in an isolated state. The lid bonded with the container portion so as to cover an opening region of the container portion. A plurality of project portions engaging with the partition rib so as to sandwich the partition rib from both sides of the partition rib is integrally molded with the lid. In a state in which the partition rib is engaged with the project portions, a bonding portion is filled with bonding resin so as to seal a cavity between an edge end of the partition rib and the lid and a cavity between an edge end of an outer circumference of the container portion and the lid.

An injection molding unit includes a main unit and an optional unit, the main unit accommodating a first injection molding machine that molds an integrated product by injecting a first molding material into a cavity which is defined by a lower die and an upper die and in which an insert member is disposed. The optional unit includes at least one of a member molding unit that accommodates a second injection molding machine that molds the insert member by injecting a second molding material or a press molding machine that molds the insert member in press molding, and a robot unit that accommodates a robot that performs placement operation of placing the insert member in the cavity or transport operation of transporting the integrated product molded by the first injection molding machine. The main unit is so configured that the optional unit is attachable thereto and detachable therefrom.
