  • Publication number: 20140217650
    Abstract: A system for injection molding a part includes a plate, first and second primary mold slides, first and second secondary mold slides and at least a first core post. The first and second primary mold slides define an exterior of a first portion of a molded part and are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position. The first and second secondary mold slides define an exterior of a second portion of the molded part and are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position. A first core post defines an interior of the first portion of the molded part. The first and second secondary mold slides are operative to secure the molded part as the first and second primary mold slides are moved from their closed position to their open position, as the molded part is expanded under a source of pressurized air and as the first core post is withdrawn from an interior of the molded part.

  • Publication number: 20130146524
    Abstract: A fuel filter of an internal combustion engine has a housing with a fuel inlet, a fuel outlet for cleaned fuel, and a water outlet for water separated from the fuel. A filter element is arranged in the housing and separates fuel inlet and fuel outlet seal-tightly. The filter element has a filter medium configured as a hollow member for filtering the fuel and further has a hydrophobic fuel-permeable separating medium embodied as a hollow member for separating water from the fuel. The separating medium is arranged in flow direction of the fuel downstream of the filter medium and is positioned inside the filter medium or surrounds the filter medium. Between the filter medium and the separating medium a precipitation slot is realized that has a conical shape and is connected with the water outlet. The separating medium extends at least across the entire extension of the filter medium.
