The present invention involves a fabrication of plastic-tube-screen-fill (PTSF) injection mold fabricating PTSFs using molten plastics injection molding machine. The PTSFs replace PVC-film-fills currently using in water evaporative cooling towers. The PTSFs have a higher water cooling efficiency compared to the efficiency of the PVC-film-fills and therefore the PTSFs reduce the operation and construction expenses of the cooling tower, and also the PTSFs reduce the production of plastic wastes due to the utilizing of high cooling efficient media in the cooling towers. In order to commercialize the PTSFs, a manufacturing tool of the PTSFs to fabricate a low-cost plastic-tube-screen-fill is needed. To achieve this end, the PTSF injection mold is invented by comprising four partial-molds, which is operated in three dimensional disassembling and reassembling processes using a vertical injection molding machine.

A hollow body molding device forming a hollow molded body in a main cavity of a mold having in its one end a pressure port including a floating core by injecting molten resin through an injection gate into the main cavity having an outlet, and then pressure-injecting pressurized fluid through the pressure port into the main cavity to move the core toward the outlet through the resin injected into the main cavity to extrude the resin through the outlet and discharge it into a waste cavity, the device having: a floating core accommodating portion located between the outlet and a communication passage leading to the waste cavity and adjoins the main cavity and accommodates the core moved to the outlet by the fluid, in the device, a floating core accommodating portion inside diameter is smaller than a main cavity outlet diameter and is larger than a floating core outside diameter.

An inflation needle, its mold and method of manufacturing same are provided. The inflation needle (10) includes a hollow cylindrical probe (12); a hollow conic base (14) disposed at one end of the hollow cylindrical probe (12); a hollow externally threaded member (16) projected out of the hollow conic base (14), the hollow externally threaded member (16) being distal the hollow cylindrical probe (12) and communicating therewith; and a plurality of handles (18) disposed on an outer surface of the hollow conic base (14).

A discharge member used for discharging contents accommodated in a container includes: an attachment part to be attached to the container; and a tubular part that is formed into a tubular shape, through which the contents from the container pass, the tubular part being provided with a tubular member in which a functional resin layer is disposed as an intermediate layer inside in a radial direction. The functional resin layer provided to the tubular member is disposed closer to the outer circumferential surface among the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the tubular member.

A molding apparatus includes a mold comprising a stationary outer mold with a substantially tubular mold cavity, a moveable end mold with an end mold cavity alignable with the tubular mold cavity, and a stationary elongated mold core with a fluid channel therethrough, the mold core extending through the tubular cavity into the end mold cavity. A method of using the apparatus includes injecting a molding material at a material flow rate into the mold, moving the end mold at a speed in a linear direction from a first position to a second position, supplying a fluid at a fluid flow rate to the fluid channel, and varying at least one of the material flow rate, the end mold speed and the fluid flow rate as the end mold moves from the first position to the second position.

A length-adjustable steering shaft for a motor vehicle may include a hollow outer shaft with an unround inner cross section, in which an inner shaft is received in a torque-locked and axially movable manner. A profiled sleeve may be arranged between the inner shaft and the outer shaft, and the profiled sleeve may have a fastening portion connected to the inner shaft. The inner shaft may be configured at least in part as a hollow shaft that has an interior that is open towards the end that is inserted into the outer shaft. To reduce the outlay in terms of production and assembly, the fastening portion may extend from the end into the interior of the inner shaft and is connected to an inner surface of the interior.

A shock absorber, including: a first cylindrical body; a second cylindrical body surrounding an outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and provided movably in a direction of an axis of the first cylindrical body with respect to the first cylindrical body; a spring provided between the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and an inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body and applying a force in a direction of separating the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body; and a spring seat portion that is a cylindrical body provided between the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and the inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body and supporting an end portion of the spring in the axis direction, the spring seat portion being made of resin and being arranged movably in a direction intersecting the axis direction.

The invention relates to a method for producing a guiding rod for a pump for dispensing a fluid product. The rod includes a cylindrical body surmounted by a head. The method a plastic injection molding step to form the cylindrical rod. The method also includes a step of correcting the shape of an upper end of the rod so as to form the head by creating a shoulder at the level of the junction between the head of rod and body.

A plastic molding system comprises: dispensing, pre-shaping and shaping cells and a transport subsystem. The dispensing cell has a station for dispensing a dose of plastic feedstock. The pre-shaping and shaping cells each comprise a plurality of stations for shaping the workpiece into a preform shape and into a final shape, respectively. The transport subsystem advances a workpiece along a selected one of a plurality of process paths to form a molded article. Each of the plurality of process paths is defined by a combination of stations of the dispensing cell, the pre-shaping cell and the shaping cell.

When a hollow molded body using a preform to be molded with a thin bottom portion is produced while taking advantage of the roughening of the outer surface of an injection core mold, transferred roughening marks are prevented from appearing on the bottom portion of hollow molded bodies, so that the hollow molded body with an aesthetic bottom portion is obtained. An injection core mold (12) has an outer surface of its tip portion corresponding to a preform bottom portion (10) and a lower end portion (14a) of a preform body portion (14). The outer surface corresponding to the preform bottom portion (10) and the lower end portion (14a) of the preform body portion (14) is a mirror-finished surface (20), and the outer surface of the injection core mold for forming the preform other than the mirror-finished surface is a roughened surface (15).
