Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a multi-colored, injection molded product. A nozzle which has at least two separate feed passageways receives the primary resin stream from the primary feed tube. Two separate fluid-operated cylinders add different colorant masses to the separate portions of the feed stream through lateral openings into the two passageways. Blending of the two different masses is prevented in the nozzle and blending with the primary resin stream is minimized during feed to the mold to optimize the brightness of the colors in the end product.

Abstract: Injection molded sections of decorative edging for use in lawn and garden applications are provided with an alignment feature to facilitate proper orientation on insertion. The edging has an arcuate upper surface which makes proper alignment difficult. This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that the sections may be angularly positioned relative to an adjacent section through a 60.degree. arc. The alignment feature may be etched onto the surface or molded on the surface by a modification to the mold and is positioned between 1/3 and 2/3 of the way from the lower edge to the upper surface of the edging section. The alignment feature is driven to a point just below the surface of the ground.
