Abstract:
A light reflection device includes a composite substrate, a mirror plastic film securely affixed to the composite substrate and a reflection coating affixed to the composite substrate with the mirror plastic film sandwiched therebetween.
Abstract:
Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Select regions of the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. One or more metallized surface regions are formed on a first injection-molded polymer that is metal-platable and one or more colored surface regions defined by a second injection-molded polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided. A third polymer is optionally provided that comprises an injection-molded transparent polymer. The third layer protects and optionally encapsulates the underlying first and second polymers from exposure to an external environment.
Abstract:
Provided is a pattern transfer medium manufacturing apparatus including a disc injection compression molding unit that forms a disc-shaped pattern transfer medium by an injection compression molding using a disc molding die and a disc-shaped stamper and a cutting unit that performs cutting the periphery of a concave and convex pattern portion on the disc-shaped pattern transfer medium, which is formed due to a transfer by the injection compression molding, as a target object.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for producing an assembly, and the thus produced assembly, are provided. The assembly may be used in screening applications. In various embodiments, the assembly may comprise a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and second portion may be co-formed or may be separately formed. The assembly may be formed as a blank or may be formed with wells therein. The assembly may be further processed, for example via thermal processing, to form or modify wells in the assembly. In some embodiments, wells in the assembly may have custom volumes, custom shapes, or be arranged in a custom pattern.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing eyeglasses. In the method a preform for the eyeglasses is injection moulded of transparent plastic, the preform comprising lens areas (1, 2) and a frame (3) connecting them and arranged seamlessly thereto, and a computer-controlled printing is performed on the preform for providing one or more functional and/or decorative coatings (35, 38, 39, 40), the printing being directed at least to the lens areas (1, 2). The computer-controlled printing in also directed to the frame (3). Thus, the outline of a frame area (33) is printed. In a second embodiment of the invention, there is injection moulded an eyeglass frame (3, 11 ) that forms a continuous, endless and elastic component around the lens holes (16a, 16b). The lens holes (16a, 16b) are compressible around the lenses (1, 2) fitted in the lens holes (16a, 16b). Computer-controlled printing is directed to the frame (3, 11 ) for providing one or more functional and/or decorative coatings (35, 38, 39, 40).
Abstract:
This invention relates to plastic glazing assemblies for vehicle tops, windows, headlamps, and taillights, as well as residential and commercial glazing, aircraft glazing, and sunglasses. More specifically, a method of manufacturing a plastic glazing assembly exhibiting a high level of weatherability and abrasion resistance is disclosed which integrates the in-mold application of a coating and the subsequent deposition of an abrasion resistant layer to a molded plastic part.
