Abstract:
The shelf as defined by a shelf grating formed of a plurality of first and second groups of wires disposed normal to each other and having ends thereof encapsulated by an injection molded, continuous open encapsulation, rim or border. Preferably, each of four border portions of the border each encapsulate substantially the entirety of one of the wires of the two groups to afford rigidity to the wire shelf. The border includes a Class “A” upper surface between peripheral outboard and inboard parting lines or lines of flash which provides a high degree of aesthetics to the shelf when viewed from above.
Abstract:
An improved in mold label for use in labeling products made by injection, or other, molding technologies has a zig-zag shaped edge cut contained in a registration area which contains ink that matches the product resin. At least one ledge is formed in a cavity wall of the mold proximate the position intended for receipt of an in mold label. The ledge protects the leading edge of the in mold label from the flow of resin through the cavity walls of the mold. Because the label leading edge is protected, the resin flows over the label and pins the label to the cavity wall of the mold, creating a container with the label formed on the container wall. Alternatively, a container lid is provided with a ledge to facilitate skirting and label placement on the pan area of the lid. These features both enhance the structural integrity and the uniform unblemished appearance of the finished molded container. Because of the enhanced structural integrity, high melt resin may be used to create the container, reducing the cycle time, and thus the cost of the product. The lack of blemishes in the finished container reduces manufacturing waste.
Abstract:
Techniques for forming packaged semiconductor devices having top surfaces with flash-free electrical contact surfaces are described. According to one aspect, a molding cavity is provided which has a molding surface that is sufficiently smooth such that when placed in contact with an electrically conductive contact, gaps between the conductive contact and the mold cavity surface do not form.
Abstract:
A process of molding a component on a substrate utilizes a substrate having a peripheral flange that projects into a parting line between mold segments defining a mold cavity, wherein the flange has a projecting, continuous circuitous ridge that forms a seal between the substrate and an upper mold segment. The process allows a substantially flash free molded component to be formed directly on a substrate, thus eliminating the need for a separate flash removal step.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a process for the compression and/or injection in-mold lamination of a decorative material (1) and for the complete bordering of at least part of the edge (2) of this decorative material with a backing material (3) are proposed. The apparatus comprises at least two mold parts—forming a cavity (4). A first mold part (5) comprises pressing means (7) and a second mold part (6) comprises holding means (8) for holding a decorative material (1), placed into the cavity (4, 4′), at a distance from a surface (9) of the cavity formed by the second mold part (6), these holding means (8) being arranged raised with respect to this surface (9), entirely within the cavity (4, 4′) and immovably with respect to the surface (9) of the latter. The apparatus is characterized in that the holding means (8) are arranged entirely within the cavity (4, 4′) and immovably with respect to the surface (9) of the latter and in that the pressing means (7) are designed and arranged such that the decorative material (1) is pressed by them onto the holding means (8)—at least in the vicinity of the edge (2)—at least during the compression and/or injection in-mold lamination.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an insert molding method for injection molding of resin or rubber at an insert set in a lower mold by injecting and filling melted resin or rubber into a cavity of an upper mold through a gate in a state where the upper mold and lower mold are disposed so as to be opposed to each other, and the invention relates to a metal mold therefor, wherein a movable supporting member having flexibility, on which the above-described insert is placed, is vertically movably disposed in a recess formed on the upper surface of the above-described lower mold, and the underside thereof is supported by the tip ends of shafts of a plurality of pressing means that independently operate, and the corresponding movable supporting member is moved while being pressed by the respective shafts of the corresponding pressing means to the upper mold at a plurality of positions, and molding is carried out in a state where the upper surface of the above-described insert is uniformly brought into contact with the underside of the upper mold by bending deformation of the corresponding movable supporting member.
Abstract:
A molding machine for encapsulating electronic devices mounted on one side of a substrate, and having a ball-grid array, pin-grid array, or land-grid array on the opposite side, has a two member biased floating plate apparatus to compensate for variations in substrate thickness, and a gas collection/venting apparatus for relieving gases emitted from the non-encapsulated underside of the substrate.

Abstract:
A label comprising a bottom wall section and side wall sections has cuts formed into respective said side wall sections which extend along extensions of opposite side edges of said bottom wall section. There are provided folding lines extending between forward ends of the respectively paired cuts transversely thereof and/or cutouts intermittently arranged on imaginary lines corresponding to respective said folding lines so that said side wall sections may be folded upwardly with respect to said bottom wall section to define a lower end of the label located below the inner bottom surface of the container in the proximities of respective curved corners. A mold consisting of a core and a cavity is loaded with the label and then the in-mold labeling operation is carried out with injected resin.A surface of the mold core may be provided with injected resin guide grooves or the like to form thickened areas extending along the label folds or along the inner surface of the container's bottom.
Abstract:
The cell poles of an electric battery, which have already been cast on a fully assembled plate group which is fixed in proper position for mounting in a holding box, are provided with a plastic coating using a dual injection mold which matches the predetermined distance between the poles. After the two mold halves are closed over the poles, a plastic melt is injected into cavities corresponding to the poles, which plastic is at the same time prevented from escaping from the mold by a gasket at the base of each cell pole, and a movable slide at the forwardmost end of each cell pole.
