Abstract: A method of manufacturing a row of encapsulated interconnected vials with the mold. The method includes forming a plurality of cavity profiles linked together by arms, and inserting a plurality of core pins into the cavity profiles. The method includes injecting a plastic fluid about the core pins to form a row of interconnected vials. The method includes removing the row of interconnected vials and positioning the row into a holding tray. The method further includes placing the liquid into the row of interconnected vials with an injection device. An open end of the row of interconnected vials is heat-sealed. The step of heat-sealing may include applying heat, measuring the temperature, and measuring the time heat is applied.

Abstract: A device for molding a container is disclosed. The device will include a first member including an opening defined therein. A manifold member, operatively attached to the first member for channeling a plastic fluid to an insert means, is included. The insert means are positioned within the opening located within the first member, with the insert containing a first slide and a second slide. The first slide and second slide will have an extended position and a contracted position, and wherein the contracted position defines a cavity profile. The second member will have a first end that contains a plurality of core pins. A piston is adapted to the second end of the second member for reciprocating the second member into engagement with the insert so that the first slide and second slide are moved to the contracted position. During the reciprocating motion, the plurality of core pins are received in the cavity profile. The apparatus will further comprise heater means for suppling a heat to the fluidized plastic.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plurality of interconnected vials with a mold. The mold includes a first slide and a second slide. The method comprises contracting the first slide and the second slide so that a plurality of cavity profiles linked together by a plurality of arms is formed. A plurality of core pins is placed within the plurality of cavity profiles so that the core pins are freestanding. A plastic fluid is injected about the plurality of core pins to form a plurality of interconnected vials. The plurality of interconnected vials are removed from the plurality of core pins. The plurality of interconnected vials are placed into a holder tray and a liquid is injected into the vials. The open ends of the vials are heat sealed in order to encapsulate the plurality of interconnected vials. The steps of heat sealing include applying heat, measuring the temperature applied, and measuring the time the heat is applied.

Abstract: An unscrewing mechanism for forming threaded components includes at least one rotatable elongate mold core having a threaded portion at one end for molding a threaded component, a stripper plate that is separable from a stationary plate and underlying a cavity plate in which is integrated a mating mold cavity, and a drive gear with a jack screw at one end and with gear teeth that mesh with mating gear teeth on the mold core for rotating the mold core such that a movement of the stripper plate away from the stationary plate for ejecting a formed threaded component is at the same rate as the unscrewing of the mold core. The jack screw is threaded such that a riser component pushes the stripper plate at the same rate that the mold core is unscrewing.
