  • Publication number: 20220228656
    Abstract: A toothed pulley includes a cylindrical metallic core and a resin portion including teeth. The metallic core has, at one end thereof in the axial direction, an outward flange projecting outward in the radial direction. The outward flange has a radially outer peripheral surface that is a rotation prevention shape having a plurality of parts displaced inward in the radial direction from a cylindrical surface of the radially outer peripheral surface. The radially outer peripheral surface of the outward flange is covered by the resin portion.

  • Patent number: 10449704
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an injection molding die that improves the strength of adhesion between an insert and a plastic in an insert molded article while suppressing fluctuations in the strength of adhesion. An injection molding die is used to manufacture an insert molded article by placing an insert 12 with a thermoset resin adhesive in the molding die and injecting a molten plastic material P from a gate G into a cavity C. The gate G is arranged at a position separated by 0.2 mm or more in an out-of-plane direction from a surface A1 of the adhesive applied to the joining surface of the insert 12. During injection molding, the wall surface shear stress generated on the adhesive applied to the joining surface of the insert 12 relative to the plastic near the gate G becomes small. The adhesive is not swept away by the high-pressure molten plastic material P without having to bring the adhesive applied to the joining surface A of the insert 12 into the semi-cured state.

  • Patent number: 9962877
    Abstract: A molded article 1 is configured such that an insert 2 is made of a steel plate and includes a cylindrical part 2A and an annular part 2B, a plastic 4 is annular in shape so as to be joined to the annular part 2B, inner diameter D1 of the plastic 4 is larger than inner diameter D2 of the annular part 2B so that no burrs at a gate mark E protrude to the inner diameter side of the molded article 1, the injection molding is conducted with a disc gate arranged on an inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from a surface of the annular part 2B, and the gate mark E resides on the inner peripheral surface F of the plastic 4 at a position separated from the surface of the annular part 2B.
