摘要:
Objects of the invention is to provide a practical, novel foam molding apparatus wherein mold surfaces are devoid of air orifices, and to provide an in-mold foam molding apparatus and method for the reduction of cooling time for molded articles. A mold cavity 4 is filled with prefoamed beads comprising a polyolefin synthetic resin; these are heated and fused with steam; and the molded article is cooled, during which cooling process the pressure of the foamed resin against the molds 2, 3 as it is cooled is successively measured by means of a bearing pressure sensor, and when the pressure of the foamed resin against the molds has reached a pressure predetermined for the particular molded article, cooling of the molded article is terminated, the molded article is released from the mold, and the molded article is then set in a fixture to stabilize the shape of the molded article.

There are provided a vehicle impact energy absorbing member which is arranged as an impact energy absorbing member of a simple construction capable of absorbing impact energy with high efficiency, and which is capable of improving the pedestrian protection performance as well as the passenger protection performance, and a vehicle impact energy absorbing structure using the vehicle impact energy absorbing member. More specifically, a compression energy absorbing member 10 using compression deformation and a buckling energy absorbing member 20 using buckling deformation are provided. Impact energy applied to a vehicle body is absorbed by a combination of the two energy absorbing members 10 and 20. Buckling energy absorbing portions 11a and 11b are also provided which have a buckling characteristic such that a peak value of impact force is equal to or smaller than a set value and in which a setting is made such that at least one of impact timing for starting absorption of impact energy and peak value timing for making the impact force have a peak value after collision is changed in a stepping manner or continuously. Impact energy applied to the vehicle body is absorbed by buckling deformation of the buckling energy absorbing portions 11a and 11b.
