  • Patent number: 10647038
    Abstract: An injection mold includes a cavity formed by a plurality of members including at least a convex surface member and a concave surface member, and a gate formed by a plurality of members including at least a flash formation preventing member. One of the members forming the gate is disposed so as to be adjacent to one of the members forming the cavity, and is pressed against the adjacent member forming the cavity by a pressure of injected resin.

  • Publication number: 20160297156
    Abstract: A center-portion molding member having a center-portion transfer shape surface and a side wall surface is inserted and fitted in a frame-portion molding member having a frame-portion transfer shape surface to form a part of a cavity. The center-portion molding member has a groove portion in the side wall surface. The groove portion protrudes from the frame-portion transfer shape surface. Before injected resin transfers a shape of the center-portion transfer shape surface, the side wall surface of the center-portion molding member is sealed with the resin to form, between the center-portion transfer shape surface and the resin, a space in which gas is confined.
