A tool for fabricating a control surface is disclosed. In various embodiments, the tool includes a first block defining a longitudinal direction running between a leading edge end and a trailing edge end; a first sidewall spaced a first lateral distance from the first block to form a first closeout channel running in the longitudinal direction between the first block and the first sidewall; and a second sidewall configured to form a second closeout channel running in the longitudinal direction, the second closeout channel disposed laterally opposite the tool from the first closeout channel.

A reagent vessel, an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a lower part of a reagent vessel for an analytical instrument are disclosed. The reagent vessel is configured to store a liquid reagent. The reagent vessel comprises a cover and a lower part. The lower part comprises a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, two opposing side walls and at least one connection wall. The cover, bottom wall, front wall, rear wall and two opposing side walls define at least one internal volume for storing at least one liquid reagent. The two opposing side walls are at least partially connected to one another by the at least one connection wall located within the at least one internal volume. The connection wall is spaced apart from the bottom wall. The connection wall and at least the two opposing side walls can be injection-molded and are monolithically formed.

Thermoplastic synthetic resin flowing through both gates 173, 173 into lug part flanges 16, 16 collides with a confronting wall 161, converts direction of flow by 90°, changing velocity of flow, and thus fills the lug part flanges 16, 16 and flanges 15,15 on the long side. After this, as thermoplastic synthetic resin flows into thin outer peripheral walls 131, 132 and partition walls 133 at an optimum velocity of flow, thermoplastic synthetic resin flows smoothly and it is possible to form a smooth molded article. The lug part flanges 16,16 and the flanges 15, 15 on the long side serve as runners, so that thermoplastic synthetic resin flows smoothly into the thin outer peripheral walls 131,132 and partition wall 133.

To provide an injection mold capable of filling a necessary resin material for obtaining a desired molded article in a cavity space of a fine mesh structure, there is provided an injection mold according to an embodiment of the present invention composed of a core mold and a cavity mold, in which a cavity space is formed when the core and cavity molds are in a contact with each other, the cavity space surrounding a plurality of contact areas between the core and cavity molds. In the injection mold according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the core and cavity molds has a through-hole which has an opening in a parting plane of the core and cavity molds and extends from the opening to an outside of the injection mold, the parting plane corresponding to the contact areas between the core and cavity molds.

An aerator mixing rod includes a body having a first and second opposite ends and an outer surface extending between the ends. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending through the ends. The aerator mixing rod also includes teeth extending radially outward from the outer surface, with a first row of teeth and a second row of teeth spaced from the first row along the longitudinal axis. A first passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the first row, and a second passageway is formed between adjacent teeth of the second row. The first passageway is at least partially misaligned with the second passageway in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis such that the first passageway and the second passageway form a tortuous path for fluid flowing along the outer surface of the body. The aerator mixing rod is formed from an injection-moldable material by an injection molding process.

A molding tool for forming a non-pneumatic tire includes a wheel portion cavity, a tread ring portion cavity, and a plurality of spoke cavities extending between the wheel portion cavity and the tread ring portion cavity.
