  • Patent number: 7294302
    Abstract: To control the thickness of the skin layer of a composite resin molded product by a viscosity difference obtained by varying the viscosity by adding another ultra-minute substance to a raw resin material. The composite resin molded product comprising the skin layer formed of a first thermoplastic resin and the core layer formed of a second thermoplastic resin is molded by injection. The viscosity difference between the resins is controlled by adding a carbon nanomaterial to one or the other of the thermoplastic resins. The thickness of the skin layer is controlled by the viscosity difference. The first thermoplastic resin and the second thermoplastic resin are of the same kind or different kinds of resins.

  • Publication number: 20060256289
    Abstract: In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, white light emitted from a light source is homogenized by an integrator optical system; the R and the G light component of the white light becomes P polarization light as the white light passes through a color polarizer; and then the G light component is converted into P polarization light while the R light component remains unchanged as the G and the R light pass through another color polarizer. Then, the G and the R light are light-modulated respectively by reflection type spatial light modulation elements for the G and the R light, the elements being disposed so that they have a different distance from a polarizing split face of a polarizing beam splitter. The G light that has been light modulated passes through a lens causing an axial chromatic aberration corresponding to the distance difference and thus exits therefrom.

  • Patent number: 6874563
    Abstract: A carbon nano material and a resin binder are plasticized and injection molded to form a preliminarily molded member. The preliminarily molded member is degreased by a heat treatment and made to a preliminarily molded porous member composed of the carbon nano material. The preliminarily molded porous member is inserted into a cavity of a product mold. A molten low melting point metal is injected into and fills the cavity. The preliminarily molded porous member is impregnated with the low melting point metal by injection pressure, thereby a composite metal product composed of the low melting point metal material integrally composited with the carbon nano material is molded. With the above arrangement, the characteristics of the carbon nano material are applied to the composite metal product to improve the functions thereof.

  • Patent number: 6860314
    Abstract: A low melting point metal material is made to a thixotropic state in which liquid phases and solid phases coexists. In the thixotropic state of the low melting point metal material, a carbon nano material is kneaded with the low melting point metal material and forms a composite material. Thus obtained composite material is supplied to a metal molding machine and injected into a mold in a thixotropic state or a completely molten state of the metal so that the composite material fills the mold, thereby the composite material is molded to a composite metal product. With the above process, it is possible to injection mold the composite metal product to which the characteristics of the carbon nano material are applied.

  • Patent number: 6641388
    Abstract: The present invention reduces an excessive gnawing force at the thread engagement region of a ball screw portion with the ball nut member that tends to be generated in the electric injection mechanism and prevents an abnormal wear or break of the ball screw shaft by installing a stress relaxation means of annular groove at the shaft portion of the ball screw shaft. A ball nut member is engaged by threads with a pair of right and left ball screw shafts rotatably provided in parallel with guide bars over front and rear plates. The shaft portion between the front plate of the ball screw shaft and the ball screw portion is partially formed with a diameter smaller that the root diameter of the ball screw shaft, and a stress relaxation groove with a concave curved surface having a flat bottom is disposed in the shaft portion.

  • Patent number: 6533447
    Abstract: A plasticizing apparatus used for a pre-plasticization-type injection molding machine is equipped with a screw drive section which comprises a rotational drive section supported in an axially moveable manner and adapted to rotate the screw; and an advancement/retraction drive section including a servomotor and a ball-screw mechanism for converting rotational motion of the servomotor to linear motion in order to axially move the rotational drive section. By virtue of the above-described structure, the screw disposed within the barrel is rotated by the rotational drive section of the screw drive section, so that the molding material within the barrel is plasticized (melted) and is then supplied to the injection apparatus. Further, the rotational drive section (screw) is advanced and retracted by the advancement/retraction section of the screw drive section, so that the resin passage of the barrel is opened and closed in accordance with the position of the screw.

  • Patent number: 6533572
    Abstract: An injection molding machine is equipped with a drive mechanism which reciprocates a movable member, such as a screw or a mold clamping mechanism, by use of a servomotor and a ball screw mechanism. In the injection molding machine, an end portion of a rotor shaft of the servomotor is connected directly to an end portion of a ball screw (or a nut) of the ball screw mechanism for reciprocating the movable member. This structure enables rotation of the servomotor to be transmitted directly to the ball screw (or the nut) of the ball screw mechanism without intervention of a rotation transmission mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6499989
    Abstract: Disk removing device uses its disk pickup arm to remove or take out, from an injection mold unit, a disk having been molded by the mold unit. The disk removing device includes a rotary motor for rotating the disk pickup arm, and an arm support shaft which has the disk pickup arm at its distal end portion and which is rotated, together with the arm, by the rotary motor. The arm support shaft is coupled at its other end to a linear shaft of a linear motor so that the rotary and linear motors are coupled with each other in series via the arm support shaft. The disk removing device also includes a bearing member rotatable by the rotary motor, and the arm support shaft is supported by the bearing member for rotation and axial sliding movement relative to the bearing member. Such arrangements can effectively reduce the necessary number of component parts and overall size of the disk removing device, and thus the disk removing device can be installed snugly in a small space.
