Abstract: The present invention relates to a blow molded article with a smooth appearance and to the method of making the article. More particularly, the blow molding system of the present invention utilizes a thermal cycle to eliminate certain molding defects and a non-mirrored mold cavity surface to eliminate other molding defects. The thermal cycle sets the cavity temperature to a prescribed range to eliminate spot marks and line marks. The mold cavity surface has minute concavities/convexities and thereby produces an article with minute concavities/convexities such that when the article is painted, a smooth surface is produced without the need for sanding either the mold surface or the paint surface.

Abstract: The automobile bumper core according to the present invention provides greater impact absorbing qualities from impact forces. The core (3) comprises a surface wall (8) and an opposing rear wall (9), with a pair of opposing side walls (7). In one embodiment there are a plurality of ribs (10) and a plurality of hollow portions (6) between the surface wall (8) and the rear wall (9). The bumper core is intended to lie disposed inside the bumper fascia (2) and the resulting bumper is attached to the automobile.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a structure for a choke coil which facilitates making choke coils more compact, thinner and easier to manufacture. The structure uses a band-shaped conductor, the terminal portions at both ends are fixed in a terminal fixing plate provided to one end of the winding portion of a bobbin.

Abstract: A miniaturized transformer which is constructed so that lead wires of a coil are first upwardly led out of the coil and then downwardly extended to be used as terminals for the transformer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing high-frequency coil devices, wherein a solid cylindrical rod-like mandrel having a coil element loaded thereon is inserted between lower and upper molds each of which is provided with a resilient layer, so that an annular cavity is defined between the peripheral surface of the mandrel and the resilient layers. The coil element is positioned within the annular cavity, and compressively enclosed by the resilient layers so as to be partially embedded therein, with the opposite end portions thereof being held in a fluid-tight manner between the resilient layers so as to be isolated from the mold cavity. A molten resin is injected into the mold cavity, and after the resin thus injected has been solidified, the resulting coil device is automatically removed from the mandrel through relative movement of the molds and mandrel.
