An apparatus for embedding objects in castings made in batch includes a base comprising a plurality of cavities for molding, each cavity corresponding to an item to be molded; a framework comprising a plurality of gripping mechanisms for suspending objects from the framework into the cavities for embedding the objects within the molded items, each gripping mechanism being configured to release a respective object upon actuation; and, a lifting mechanism transitionable for effecting actuation of the plurality of gripping mechanisms such that objects suspended by the gripping mechanisms are released. A method of casting includes partially filling a plurality of cavities with a liquid; suspending objects from a framework; simultaneously partially sinking the objects into the liquid in the cavities; releasing the objects from the framework after at least partially hardening of the liquid; and fully immersing the objects with the liquid.

A transparent injection overmolded structure (100) encapsulating a real botanical matter (70) including at least one first transparent multilayer film member (50), at least one second transparent multilayer film member (60), a real botanical matter (70) disposed and encapsulated between the surface of the first transparent multilayer film member (50) and the surface of the second transparent multilayer film member (60) forming an integral transparent multilayered encapsulation structure (30), a base member (40) for receiving and attaching to the transparent multi-layered encapsulation structure (30), and an injection overmolded transparent plastic member (20) integral with and enveloping the base member (40) and the transparent multilayered encapsulation structure (30). Wherein the at least one first transparent multilayer film (50) member includes at least one low-seal initiation temperature inner layer (51) for contacting a botanical matter (70), at least one outer bonding layer (52) for contacting and bonding to an injection overmolded transparent plastic member (20), and at least one core barrier layer (53) interposed between the inner layer (51) and outer layer (52); wherein the at least one second transparent multilayer film member (60) includes at least one low-seal initiation temperature inner layer (61) for contacting a botanical matter (70), at least one outer bonding layer (62) for contacting and bonding to an injection overmolded transparent plastic member (20), and at least one core barrier layer (63) interposed between the inner layer (61) and outer layer (62). A process for producing the transparent injection overmolded structure (100) encapsulating a real botanical matter (70) is also disclosed.

Disclosed are a glass embedded product and a method for fabricating same. The glass embedded product comprises a base, the base having a cavity, several hollowed holes being formed through a side wall of the cavity, and the hollowed holes communicate with the cavity. The glass embedded product further comprises a glass blown decorative structure embedded in the base, the glass blown decorative structure comprising a glass blown lining sheathed in the cavity of the base and glass protruding decorative parts embedded in the hollowed holes of the base. The glass protruding decorative parts and the glass blown lining form an integrated blow-moulded integral structure.

A glass or plastic intact bottle with a figure or object inside it, which is larger than the bottle's opening is disclosed. The insertion method is uncomplicated and it preserves the integrity of the bottle without creating a seam. It is accomplished by our means of insertion, using a vinyl, PVC, rubber, latex or other polymer “squeezable” figure, compressed into a compact form. The figure is twisted, or rolled through a small bottle neck opening with or without the use of a lubricant or a funnel. When released from compression the figure assumes its original size within the bottle. Thus a simple solution to the placement of a large item in small space is achieved, with no visible clue as to how it got in there. The invention has applications for use as a curiosity or novelty, for production as a creative children's arts and crafts set. or created as a night light with or without a musical cap.

An ornament durably emitting a fragrance includes a shell with a sachet arranged therein, the sachet is made of a non-ventilating sealing bag and fragrant particles in the sealing bag; the bottom of the sealing bag is fixed in the shell, an easy-to-tear opening is arranged at the lateral side of the sealing bag, an upper side of the easy-to-tear opening is fixedly connected with a traction line, the other end of the traction line penetrates through a hole at the top of the shell, and the traction line extending out of the hole is fixedly connected with a pull ring. The ornament is internally provided with a sachet emitting the fragrance, in a production, transportation and selling process, the fragrance in the sachet cannot be dissipated, and when using the ornament, a consumer pull a traction line to open the sealed sachet to emit the fragrance in the sachet.

An article includes at least first and second members. A decorative object is within the second member. Interlocking features are adapted to removably interlock the first and second members together. The interlocking features include a channel and a rail that are complementarily shaped so that the rail is receivable within the channel to removably interlock the rail with the channel. At least the second member is formed of a translucent or transparent material so that the decorative object within the second member is visible through the member.

An injection-moulded piece that has a plastic base layer, a transparent or translucent cover layer, and a layer containing individual decorative elements located between the base and cover layers. The decorative elements are at least partly embedded both in the cover layer and in the base layer. The method for producing the injection-moulded piece, wherein decorative elements are placed on a sticky cover layer and a base layer is applied to the decorative elements by injection moulding. The individual decorative elements are applied to the sticky surface of the cover layer, by a random process, and if required, a second cover layer is applied, the decorative elements are at least partly embedded in the cover layer, waiting for the cover layer to dry, and a base layer is applied to the decorative elements by injection moulding so that the base layer embeds the remaining part of the decorative elements.

A method for decorating a sliding board including on its visible part, a composite material formed of a fibrous layer coated with hardenable resin, includes preparing a transfer film that includes a face covered with a pattern constituted of an arrangement of grains of at least one type of ink. The ink includes colourants and a crosslinked polymer. The method also includes positioning the face of the transfer film covered with the pattern on all or some of the external surface of the composite material, applying pressure and temperature conditions generating the softening or/then hardening of the resin to as to incrust the grains of the pattern in the superficial layer of the composite material while conserving the arrangement of the grains, and peeling the transfer film.

A method for making a layered structure without any defects, including a first support layer, a second support layer, and an adhesive intermediate layer interposed between the first layer and the second layer which is adapted to fix the layers on each other. The intermediate layer embeds operatively at least a three-dimensional macroscopic element being made of crystal glass or precious stones, and the intermediate layer is made of a thermoplastic resin having a melting temperature.
