  • Patent number: 7261536
    Abstract: A resin molding device, resin molding method and resin molded product capable of guiding a sink to an optional position to perform a precise molding. A resin molding metal mold includes a gate formed in the central part of a cavity, a stepped part increasing the opening diameter of the cavity in the circumferential direction orthogonal to the flowing direction of a molten resin introduced into the cavity from the gate, and a fine outside air inlet part circumferentially formed on the outer part from the stepped part. The outside air inlet part is formed of a porous material and allowed to communicate with the outside of the resin molding metal mold through a communicating passage.

  • Patent number: 6919120
    Abstract: A plastic molding having high accuracy includes at least one transfer surface and at least one imperfect transfer portion having a concave or convex shape. The mold assembly includes a cavity into which molten resin is injected, a slide cavity piece which is capable of being slid at a prescribed time so that a gap is formed between the resin and the slide cavity piece, and a vent hole for supplying a compressed gas in the cavity. A method of producing the plastic molding includes the steps of heating resin to provide a molten resin, injecting the molten resin into a cavity of a molding, applying a resin-pressure to the molten resin, cooling the resin, sliding the slide cavity piece, and opening the mold assembly.

  • Patent number: 6875380
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical element, such as a plastic lens or similar, by molding. The manufacturing method includes the steps of molding the plastic lens under a prescribed molding temperature higher than a glass transition level of the plastic material used to from the optical element. The manufacturing method also includes the step of gradually cooling the optical element by at least 5° C. with a speed which decreases by approximately 3° C. per minute. The optical element formed from a plastic material includes a substantially rectangular shape having a width, a height, and a thickness, wherein the width is greater than the height and the thickness is measured in an optical axis direction. The optical element also includes a refractive index distribution of approximately 2×10?5 at a central half section of the height. The optical element may be defined by the manufacturing method having the molding step and the gradual cooling step.
