  • Publication number: 20070031533
    Abstract: An injection molding method and an injection mold used therefor are provided, in which a molded product free from burrs, whitening and gate marks can be obtained with a simple structure mold, and it can adequately serve the needs for multicavity molding as well. The injection molding method comprises the steps of: introducing and charging a molten resin material into a resin reservoir and a molding cavity of an injection mold, a depth of the resin reservoir being larger than a thickness of a communicating portion; and moving a cut punch, when a portion of the resin material in the resin reservoir is still molten, to push the molten resin in the resin reservoir back from a gate into a runner so that the cut punch not only closes the communicating portion but also cuts a resin solidified portion in the resin reservoir away from a resin molded product in the molding cavity at the communicating portion.

  • Patent number: 7133020
    Abstract: In the transfer apparatus, accumulated maximum transmittance of the color filters in each of ranges, in which respective spectral transmittance curves of the color filters overlap each other, is set smaller than a predetermined value. Alternatively, a light source is produced so that a light emission peak exceeding a predetermined size does not exist in each range in which at least two of red, green, and blue spectral sensitivities of a photosensitive recording medium overlap each other. Still alternatively, at least one of wavelength and light quantity of light passing through the image display device is controlled to thereby control gray tone to be recorded on the photosensitive recording medium.

  • Patent number: 6254023
    Abstract: A photo film cassette has a spool core about which photo film is wound in a form of a roll. A cassette shell contains the spool core in a rotatable manner. Two flanges have a disk shape, and are secured to respective ends of the spool core, for regulating lateral edges of the roll of the photo film. A circumferential lip is disposed on each flange, is extended toward the opposite one of the flanges, wraps one of the lateral edges of an outermost turn of the photo film of the roll, and prevents the photo film from being loosened. A rim portion is disposed on an circular edge of the circumferential lip confronted with the opposite one of the flanges, to project with a bend away from the spool core. A contact face is disposed on the rim portion, and contacts the one of the lateral edges of the photo film when the photo film is unwound from the spool core or wound back about the spool core. The contact face has a contact range of 0.15-0.8 mm in contacting the one of the lateral edges of the photo film.
