  • Patent number: 11077588
    Abstract: A method of producing a foamed composite molded product includes fixing an exposed part of an insert material on a fixing part provided in a mold, the insert material being inserted in an in-mold foamed molded product made of a thermoplastic resin; introducing a polyurethane liquid into the mold; and producing the foamed composite molded product by foaming the polyurethane liquid in the mold. The foamed composite molded product includes an in-mold foamed molded product unit including the insert material and the in-mold foamed molded product; and a polyurethane foam. At least part of the insert material is exposed to an outside of the in-mold foamed molded product, and the in-mold foamed molded product unit and the polyurethane foam are integrated.

  • Patent number: 10703028
    Abstract: An in-mold foam molded article has a foam body made from olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads and an insert member having an elongated connecting portion and movement resisting portions provided apart from one another in the elongated connecting portion. The insert member is subjected to insert molding upon in-mold foam molding using the olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads. The foam body has a movement facilitating structure that facilitates relative movement between the insert member and the foam body during shrinkage of the in-mold foam molded article after release from a mold.

  • Patent number: 10661484
    Abstract: A mold for in-mold foam-molding of a polyolefin-based resin for producing a molded article includes a first mold part, a second mold part, and a divided mold that holds an insert material, wherein the insert material has a protrusion part, the divided mold is formed on the first and the second mold parts in correspondence with the protrusion part of the insert material, the first mold part has a first holding surface, the second mold part has a divided mold member having a second holding surface and a biasing part that guides the divided mold member movably in the mold opening/closing direction and constantly biases the divided mold member toward the first holding surface, and the base portion of the protrusion part of the insert material is configured for being held between the first and second holding surfaces by the divided mold.

  • Patent number: 10434692
    Abstract: A mold for in-mold foam molding of polyolefin-based resin that prevents the occurrence of burrs at the time of molding to control productivity reduction and labor cost rising caused by burr trimming. A mold is configured to mold an insert member including an embedded part to be embedded into a foaming molded body formed from a polyolefin-based resin and a protrusion part protruding from the foaming molded body integrally with the foaming molded body. The mold is provided with an accommodation concave part capable of accommodating the protrusion part and an opening/closing part capable of opening and closing a cavity-side opening in conjunction with insertion and extraction of the protrusion part into and from the accommodation concave part such that, while the protrusion part is inserted into the accommodation concave part, and the cavity-side opening is closed.
