Abstract: A mold having an upper, medial, and lower bodies with a composite peripheral wall define an inside cavity which may have a complex shape as for instance, with circular protrusions, circular depressions, and axially aligned cylinders. Pour holes are provided for introducing a molding compound into the mold while allowing air to exit the cavity. The medial body may be made of multiple portions. The upper body may be axially lifted off the medial body and the medial body may be laterally moved away from the molded object which enables removal of the complex molded part.
Abstract: A materials handling equipment has blades of a lifting fork wherein each of the blades engages a blade wheel that moves between a retracted position when the blade is lowered and an extended position when the blade is raised to lift and support a load. The blade wheels have a plurality of tires linearly aligned on a common axis, the tires each having a circular circumference and a sinusoidally varying peripheral surface. The sinusoidally varying peripheral surfaces have relative peaks and valleys uniformly spaced around the circular circumference wherein the peaks and valleys are mutually nested.
