Patent number: 7531770Abstract: A cleaning processing jig is inserted into a bolt heater hole, and pollution such as extraneous matter on an inner surface of the hole is removed by a waste cloth. A penetration processing jig is inserted into the hole, and the penetrant is made to uniformly penetrate into the inner surface by a sponge onto which a penetrant is applied. Then, a developing processing jig is inserted into the hole, and the inner surface is developed by injecting a developer toward the inner surface from an injection tip provided on a head. When a predetermined time elapses after the developing processing, a visual inspection tool in which a visible head is attached to a tip of a pipe is inserted into the hole, and the inner surface is visually inspected through a light pipe connected to the visible head.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yoji Tanaka, Shigeo Morimoto

Publication number: 20040159979Abstract: Molten resin is injected into a cavity 12 formed between a cavity mold 7 and a moving-side core mold 11 in an injection mold assembly 1 and is allowed to spread out into every corner. Next, after the resin has stopped flowing, punch pins 23 and 24 are pressed into the cavity by hydraulic cylinders 25 and 26 that are attached to the fixed-side mold part 2 side. After the molten resin has hardened, the punch pins 23 and 24 are withdrawn from the cavity, the mold assembly is opened and the molded product is removed. By using the punch pins 23 and 24, through-hole parts are formed in a plate-like product. When the molten resin is injected, inside the cavity there are no through-hole-forming protrusions that would cause the flow of the molten resin to branch, so that weld lines do not appear in the surface of the molded product. As a result, plate-like molded products that include through-holes can be accurately formed by injection molding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2004Publication date: August 19, 2004Applicant: Shinsei CorporationInventor: Yoji Tanaka
