  • Method for injection molding of hollow articles of plastic material
    Patent number: 7998395
    Abstract: In an injection molding method to manufacture hollow plastic parts, at least one plastic part's hollow is shaped by evacuating an internal portion of the flowable material of an injection mold's cavity using a pressurized gas, and a gate of the mold and thereupon the molded article's aperture so made will be sealed off. After the flowable material has been moved from a blind duct into the gate and partly forced back into the hollow, the molded article will be ejected from the injection mold.

    Abstract: An electrical pin or socket terminal includes a vertical tubular body portion, and a spring clip portion connected with the upper end of the body portion. The spring clip portion includes two opposed electrical contacts at least one of which is resiliently biased toward the other. A separating arrangement is operable between a separated condition retaining the contacts in separated spaced relation for longitudinally receiving therebetween a conductor bare end, and a released condition in which the contacts are released for resilient electrical engagement with diametrically opposed surfaces of the conductor bare end. In one embodiment, the spring clip portion includes a pair of parallel spaced struts the upper ends of which are reversely bent toward each other. In another embodiment, a leaf spring electrical contact biases the bare conductor end against a stationary electrical contact.
