Abstract:
A compressed air is ejected from air ejector ports (14) to between a mold surface defining cavity (12) of mold (7) and a surface of a hot melt resin layer after starting to fill or inject the hot melt resin material into cavity (12) and before a temperature of the hot melt resin material becomes equal to or lower than a softening point thereof. Recesses (Q) are formed by positively generating a "sink mark" on a surface of edge protector (6) by ejection of the compressed air, and at the same time, gap (G) is formed between the surface of edge protector (6) and the mold surface. As a result, when bead-shaped edge protector (6) is integrally formed in long-side heat-fused portions (5c) of laminated-film exterior package case (5) by using a thermoplastic hot melt resin material, mold releasability of the molded edge protector from the mold can be enhanced.
Abstract:
Method of preparing a mould for injection moulding are disclosed including the steps of: placing the mould in a chamber; creating an atmosphere in the chamber which includes vaporised siloxanes. The step of creating the atmosphere may include the steps of: introducing liquid siloxanes into the chamber; and applying heat to cause vaporisation of at least some of the liquid siloxanes.
Abstract:
A method of molding a solid article such as a syringe with zero draft or low draft is disclosed. The method includes heating a low draft mold to expand it, then injection molding the part, followed by cooling at least part of the low draft mold element to thermally contract at least a portion of the low draft element away from the solid low draft formed surface sufficiently to release the low draft element from the low draft formed surface. Syringes and other articles formed by this method are also disclosed having and interior draft angle of 0 to 0.5 degrees, optionally at least substantially zero degrees. The syringe plunger can be selectively coated with lubricity coatings and other functional coatings to improve performance of the syringe.
Abstract:
The present invention mainly enables achieving the hitherto difficult automation of demolding of a soft and thin resin molded product. The present invention relates to a method and a device for molding a soft and thin resin molded product (12), in which molten resin is injected into a molding space (13) between a concave mold (14) and a convex mold (15) to mold the soft and thin resin molded product (12). The convex mold (15) or the concave mold (14) is opened while the soft and thin resin molded product (12) is left in the concave mold (14) in such a way as to become open in its concave-shaped portion. Then, at least two chuck tabs (17) formed outside the concave-shaped portion of the soft and thin resin molded product (12) left in the concave mold (14) are each held by a chuck (18) of a molded product removing machine (16), and the concave-shaped portion of the soft and thin resin molded product (12) is supported by a support arm (19) of the molded product removing machine (16). The soft and thin resin molded product (12) is demolded from the concave mold (14) by separating the molded product removing machine (16) from the concave mold (14) while maintaining such holding and supporting.
