  • Patent number: 8652374
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing an in-mold decorated molded article, which can eliminate the need for deburring after molding and the need for an extra allowance of the molded article. The process includes: clamping a first mold (1) and a second mold (2) to hold a decorative film (207) between the molds; cutting a transfer layer (302) of the decorative film (207) in the molds; injecting resin (5) into the cavity of the mold; cooling the resin (5); and opening the molds to remove the in-mold decorated molded article on which the transfer layer (302) is disposed.

  • Patent number: 6165394
    Abstract: In a grindstone for fabricating a mold which has optical fiber engagement portions of an optical fiber guide block used for aligning optical fibers, two main grinding surfaces are provided to form the optical fiber engagement portions contacted with the sides of the optical fibers and a tip end portion which is contiguous to the two main grinding surfaces and which has a contour contained within a predetermined area. The predetermined area has a triangle shape which is defined by two tangent lines along the two main grinding surfaces and a preselected line drawn between two points determined on the two main grinding surfaces. The two points are decided in accordance with a predetermined formula.
