Abstract: A boot for constant-velocity universal joint includes a minor-diameter cylindrical portion, a major-diameter cylindrical portion, and a bellows. The bellows connects the minor-diameter cylindrical portion with the major-diameter cylindrical portion integrally, and includes a plurality of crests and roots, being made of a first crest, a first root, a second crest, a second root, and so on, which are disposed alternately in this order from one of the opposite ends that faces the minor-diameter cylindrical portion to the other one of the opposite ends that faces the major-diameter cylindrical portion. The bellows further includes a rising wall, which connects one of the opposite ends of the minor-diameter cylindrical portion that faces the bellows with a top of the first crest in the bellows, and which exhibits a rising angle of less than 45 degrees to an imaginary central line of the boot or that of the shaft.

Abstract: A boot for constant-velocity universal joint is retained to a shaft, which has a general surface, a tapered surface, or a vertical surface instead of the tapered surface, and a major-diameter surface that are disposed one after another in this order and coaxially. The boot includes a minor-diameter cylindrical portion, a major-diameter cylindrical portion, a tapered wall portion, or a vertical wall portion instead of the tapered wall portion, and a bellows. The minor-diameter cylindrical portion is retained to the major-diameter surface of the shaft. The major-diameter cylindrical portion is disposed separately away from the minor-diameter cylindrical portion and coaxially therewith. The tapered wall portion is in contact with the tapered surface of the shaft. The vertical wall portion is in contact with the vertical surface of the shaft. The bellows connects the tapered wall portion or the vertical wall portion with the major-diameter cylindrical portion integrally.

Abstract: An apparatus for operating an injection machine wherein the molding condition during the building up interval is automatically changed in accordance with such parameters as the metal mold temperature, resin temperature and the temperature of a portion of the heating cylinder to which resin is supplied from a hopper. The apparatus is constructed to facilitate the building up of the molding condition, thus decreasing the number of useless shots.

Abstract: The quality that is good or bad of an injection molded product is judged. The temperature T of a metal mold, of a resin in the mold cavity, barrel or nozzle of an injection molding machine is measured at a time t elapsed after comencement of a pressure holding step of the injection molding machine. The present P of resin in the mold cavity or barrel or nozzle is measured at the time t, and a time function A=f(t) is calculated using the temperature T and the pressure P, where A represents a calculating parameter T/P, P/T, T.times.P, T+P or T.+-.P. This is compared with a reference time function Ao=f(t) of a shot in which satisfactory products can be obtained, with a time function An=f(t) of another shot.

Abstract: In a method of controlling an injection compression molding of the type wherein resin is injected into a mold cavity while the metal molds are separated away a little, and thereafter the metal molds are clamped together, a pulsating mold clamping pressure is applied to the metal molds during compression. The apparatus for controlling injection compression molding comprises a mold clamping pressure setter for outputting a mold clamping signal, a pulse waveform setter for generating a pulse signal, a signal calculating unit connected to receive the mold clamping signal and the pulse signal for outputting a mold clamping control signal, a mold clamping device, and a valve responsive to the mold clamping control signal for controlling a pressurized operating fluid supplied to the mold clamping device.

Abstract: In a vent type injection molding machine having a screw contained in a heating cylinder, there are provided a plurality axially spaced apart vent openings located at intermediate points of the heating cylinder for venting inside of the heating cylinder to the outside and control means for selectively opening and closing the vent openings in accordance with the position of the screw in the heating cylinder or the pressure of a thermoplastic resin injected by the injection molding machine.

Abstract: In an apparatus for indicating and controlling temperature at a plurality of positions, under the control of a function selecting device, set data stored in a data memory are transferred to a current memory and indicated in a plurality of indicators. A control device calculates control values based on the set values and sensed values, and delivers outputs for controlling the temperatures. When the function selecting device selects remote operation, the apparatus may be operated by a host computer and the like.

Abstract: In an injection molding machine which injects molten metal into a metal mold cavity by an injection step and a succeeding pressure holding step, the injection step is controlled by the steps of filling the molten resin into the metal mold cavity at a high speed during the filling step; switching the injection operation from the filling step to the pressure holding step; concurrently operating braking means for applying a braking force to the plunger of the injection molding machine for stopping the plunger; and locking the braking means for continuously applying a constant force to the plunger until a gate seal of the metal mold cavity is completed.

Abstract: A molten resin to be injected into a mold cavity in use of an injection molding machine has a temperature, i.e. viscosity difference between at the injection starting point and the injection completing point. In order to eliminate or make small this difference, a high temperature and highly pressurized gas, preferably an inert gas, is preliminarily supplied to and sealed in the mold cavity and the pressure of the supplied gas is continuously controlled in accordance with the position of the screw during the injection molding operation thereby to maintain the temperature of the supplied gas in the mold cavity to be higher than the softening temperature of the molten resin to be injected.

Abstract: Multiple mold clamping apparatus comprising a plurality of mold clamping stations, each having a fixed die plate with a fixed die, a rest plate which is separated from the fixed die plate by a certain distance a movable die plate with a die opposingly facing the fixed die, and a moving device for moving the movable die plate, a hydraulic cylinder unit is slidably mounted beneath the rest plate and includes a piston rod defining an end surface portion for contacting the movable die plate, a power transmitting device mounted on the movable die plate for transmitting clamping force from the piston rod to the movable die, and a conveying device for conveying the hydraulic cylinder unit from one mold clamping station to another.
