Abstract:
A process for making a multi-component hollow housing comprises injecting a first plastic material into a first mold cavity and causing it to solidify to form a first component, whereby the first plastic material shrinks lengthwise; injecting a second plastic material into a second mold cavity having the first component transferred thereto and causing the second plastic component to solidify to form a second component, the second component comprising a tolerance-elimination element that is longitudinally attached to the first component at one of the ends thereof, wherein a length of the shrunk first component is at least ten times greater than a length of the tolerance-elimination element, and wherein an absolute lengthwise shrinkage of the second plastic material forming the tolerance-elimination element is at least ten times smaller than the lengthwise shrinkage of the first plastic material; at least partially overmolding an intermediate part comprising the first and second component with a third plastic material in a third mold cavity, thereby forming the multi-component housing in which the tolerance-elimination element is at least partially overmolded by the third plastic material, and wherein the third plastic material forms at least a portion of an outer surface of the multi-component housing; and removing the multi-component housing from the core.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a dual color molding apparatus for a measuring tape and its molding method, and a dual color plastic technology is used to replace the existing label and decoration such as a label on the measuring tape and provide a different design of words, numbers or logos on a concave and convex surface to facilitate users to identify the molding apparatus. The molding apparatus includes a male mold fixing base, a first male mold, a second male mold, a female mold fixing base, a first female mold, a second female mold, a central axle and a middle plate. The first female mold forms a first cavity with any one of the male molds, and the second female mold forms a second cavity with any one of the male molds, and a glue injection is performed in the first cavity and the second cavity by a first glue injection unit and a second glue injection unit respectively. The first female mold and the second female mold are coupled to the female mold fixing base, and the first male mold is installed above a first male mold insert fixing base of the male mold fixing base, and the second male mold is installed above a second male mold insert fixing base of the male mold fixing base, and both first male mold and second male mold are coupled to the middle plate, and the first male mold is rotatably installed at the top of the second male mold insert fixing base and the second male mold is rotatably installed at the top of the first male mold insert fixing base through the central axle connected to the middle plate. Therefore, a dual color glue injection can be completed for the dual color mold without replacing the molding apparatus.
Abstract:
A molding device for manufacturing a plastic hollow part by injection molding includes an injection nozzle and first and second molding stations. Each molding station has a first mold including two mold halves forming, respectively, first and second mold cavities, and a core having a first end, which can be at least partially located inside the first and second mold cavities. A first stripper can be arranged on the core in a passive position, spaced from the first end of the core at a first distance; in a molding position, spaced from the first end of the core at a second distance; and in a demolding position, spaced from the first end of the core at a third distance; wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance, and the second distance is greater than the third distance.
Abstract:
There is provided a manufacturing method for molding a liquid supply member by using a first mold and a second mold in which the first mold is capable of being slid relatively to the second mold, the method including a first molding step of performing injection molding to form a first and second component parts of the liquid supply member at different positions from each other, an evacuating step of sliding the formed second component part in a direction intersecting with a direction of sliding of the first mold relative to the second mold and with a direction of the opening and the closing the first and the second mold, a contacting step of bringing the formed second component part into contact with the molded first component part, and a second molding step of performing injection molding to join the first component part and the second component part.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a molding machine for synthetic resin article, comprizing journals provided turnably and revolvably between upper and lower bearing boards, a central die plate whose both sides have been formed into mold fixing surfaces die plates which move forward and backward by mold tightening cylinders approachably to and releasably from each of said mold fixing surfaces of the central die plate, to guide rods mounted between the upper and lower positions of fixed boards provided on the base and said bearing boards and a suitable number of injection devices respectively onto the base at the positions outside the fixed boards in such a manner that the nozzles of said injection devices are capable of advancing and retreating to and from respective injection openings of the movable die plate.

Abstract:
The invention concerns an ejector system, where the ejectors or the stripper plates (10) in the turnable tool part(s) (8) are being activated in turn after each turning and opening/closing cycle in the machinery by means of a stationary placed mechanism (11). This can perform a forward and backwards movement, and is situated outside the turnable mold part(s), but in such a way that the stationary placed forward and backwards going mechanism (11) enables the shifting activations of the ejector mechanism (10) on the different sides of the turnable mold part(s) in turn. The stationary placed forward and backwards going mechanism (11) can perform its movements by hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or other influence of e.g. a piston. The turnable mold parts of the tool suitably turn around axis, which are parallel and at a right angle on the opening/closing movement of the tool. At a right angle at this axis is each turnable mold part preferably designed with a cross section, which makes up a regular polygon, preferably a square.
Abstract:
A mold apparatus for making multi-component products includes (i) a rotatable turret with a plurality of product connector pairs attached to opposite sides of the turret, (ii) a first mold disposed proximate to the turret and (iii) a second mold disposed on the opposite side of the turret. The first mold has a plurality of cavities for molding a first molded layer of the multi-component product, and the second mold has a plurality of cavities for molding a second layer onto the first molded layer. Each product connector is rotatable about its longitudinal axis to allow the mold apparatus to make multi-component products having first molded layers and second molded layers with indentations and/or protuberances disposed in a variety of orientations.
