Abstract: A lock apparatus for locking a glove box that is rotatably coupled to an instrument panel of a vehicle. The lock apparatus includes an operating portion with a push-type knob, a pair of lock portions, and a transmitting portion with a transmitting member. The operating portion is located closer to a driver seat than a right and left center of the glove box in a right and left direction of a vehicle. The operating portion is coupled to the instrument panel between the instrument panel and the glove box. Each of the lock portions is located at each of right and left end portions of the glove box. The transmitting portion transmits a motion of the operating portion to each of the pair of lock portions using tension and/or compression of the transmitting member.

Abstract: The present invention provides an injection molding method which intends to lower a mold clamping force in view of both of a projected area of a molded article and an injection pressure, and contributes to an energy saving and a reduction in a cost of equipment and a manufacturing cost. In a cavity (13) formed in a metal mold (5) for an injection molding, there are arranged a first gate (21) injecting a first molten resin (101) anteceding in one end side (a charging start side) in a longitudinal direction, and a second gate (22) injecting a second molten resin (102) following in another end side (a charging finish side). The second molten resin (102) is newly injected from the second gate (22) before a fluid head portion of the first molten resin (101) injected from the first gate (21) reaches a position of the second gate (22).
