An oral care implement with a soft tissue cleaner. The oral care implement may include a handle and a head, the head having a first surface, and an opposite second surface, and a peripheral surface extending between the first and second surfaces. A soft tissue cleaner may have a first cleaner fixed to the second surface of the head and a second cleaner fixed to the peripheral surface of the head. Furthermore, a second cleaner may incorporate a plurality of grooves extending at least a portion of the distance from the first surface to the second surface along the peripheral surface.

An injection molding nozzle system for delivering molten material from a manifold to a nozzle is disclosed. The manifold and nozzle are disposed within pocket of a manifold plate. The nozzle is secured to a melt-transfer bushing disposed within the manifold via a collar. The collar is secured to the bushing such that it is centered about the axis of the outlet of the bushing. A support ring supports the nozzle within the pocket such that the nozzle is centered about the axis of the pocket. In a cold state, the outlet of the bushing and the inlet of the nozzle are misaligned. In operation, thermal expansion of the components bring the outlet of the bushing and the nozzle into alignment. The melt-transfer bushing and the connection of the nozzle to the manifold, via the releasable connection between the collar and the bushing facilitates manufacture and assembly of the system.

A molded product in which a parting line can be disposed at an inconspicuous position on the appearance of the product. The molded product includes a main body having a cylindrical shape and a hole penetrating through the main body in a radial direction, or a protrusion protruding in the radial direction from the main body, and in the molded product, a parting line corresponding to a matching surface of molds is formed in the molded product, and the parting line has a first line extending from the hole or the protrusion to one side in a circumferential direction of the main body, and a second line extending from an end point on the one direction of the circumferential direction of the first line to an end portion in an axial direction of the main body.

In an injection molding machine including a first nozzle and a second nozzle that injects resin into a mold from the first nozzle through the second nozzle, a distance between the second nozzle and the mold is changed with movement of at least the second nozzle in a first direction, and the second nozzle is displaceable in a second direction in a state in which the mold is fixedly secured relative to the first nozzle and the second nozzle is in contact with the first nozzle.
