Publication number: 20140001674Abstract: A manufacturing method for a hinge has steps of forming one of a central element and a surrounding element by injection molding, cooling down the formed element, and forming the other element on the priorly-formed element by injection molding such that a limit segment of the surrounding element is mounted around the neck segment, which keeps the surrounding element from departing axially from the central element, and further simplifies a structure of the hinge. Because a melting point of the element formed priorly is higher than a melting point of the element formed later, the element formed later does not attach to the element formed priorly. Therefore, the two elements are relatively rotatable. Finally, because a manufacturing process is accomplished after injection molding twice, the process is more convenient and faster, and the cost is lowered.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Inventor: Lee-Yeh Lu

The block is fixed in the inner tray to extend under the bottom of the block and along a lower region of the peripheral wall. The resilient member may form a part of the block mold, so that a mold member combined with the resilient member delimit the mold for the block. The moldable material is introduced and adheres directly to the inner tray of the prefabricated resilient member.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Edilson Sedra B.V.Inventor: Gerrit Marinus Van Der Houwen

Patent number: 8574483Abstract: A method of deforming a component includes the step of forming the component from thermosetting, elastomeric microcellular polyurethane. The method further includes the step of heating at least a first portion of the component to a first temperature. The method further includes the step of compressing the first portion of the component while maintaining the first portion at the first temperature and while maintaining the second portion of the component at an undeformable state. The method of deforming the component shapes the first portion of the component. Preferably the method shapes the first portion of the component into a thin and/or complexly shape. The method of deforming the component also increases the first portion of the component relative to the second portion of the component, i.e. to densifying the component such that the component has varying density.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Daniel G. Dickson, Gary M. Lawrence

Publication number: 20130288020Abstract: In a transfer mold body, a display portion is formed from a crystalline resin and a main body portion is formed from an amorphous resin. Accordingly, a transfer layer is only transferred to the amorphous resin formed main body portion that has good transfer properties for the transfer layer, and the transfer layer is not transferred to the crystalline resin formed display portion that has poor transfer properties for the transfer layer. Accordingly, only the main body portion is decorated by the transfer layer, with the display portion to which the transfer layer is not transferred visibly displayed as the letter. Accordingly, since printing process is not necessary, suppressing an increase in cost of the transfer mold body. Moreover, the position of the letter is determined by two-color molding of the main body portion and the display portion, enabling positional displacement of the letter to be suppressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Kenichi SUGISAKA, Takashi ICHIKAWA, Eiji YAMADA, Atsushi TSUKIHARA, Ryusuke SADAMATSU, Katsuyuki IMAEDA, Soichiro OGAWA

Publication number: 20130285282Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing a moulded plastic product having an outer skin and in inner core. The method is particularly suitable for making structural products such as panels or the like from recycled plastic material. The method comprises the steps of: providing a mould having a mould cavity; forming an outer skin from a first plastic material on at least two opposed surfaces inside the mould cavity; forming an inner core from a second plastic material inside the mould cavity; and at least partially curing the plastic materials to form a moulding inside the mould cavity via the application of heat. The method is characterised by the subsequent steps of (optionally pre-cooling the moulding and then) simultaneously cooling the moulding and compressing the moulding so as to reduce its size in at least one dimension to a desired dimension of the finished product.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: 100% Recycled Panel Company LimitedInventor: Gary Mills

Publication number: 20130282108Abstract: A tubular conduit comprising: a tubular portion made from a flexible material. There is an external helical formation extending around the exterior of, and parallel to the axis of, the tubular portion and defining a first region of the tubular portion. The external helical formation is for supporting the tubular portion. There is also an internal helical formation, protruding inwardly of the interior of the tubular portion and extending parallel to the axis of the tubular portion and defining a second region of the tubular portion. The internal helical formation is for imparting helical flow on fluid passing through the tubular portion. The first region does not extend throughout the second region.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2013Publication date: October 24, 2013Inventors: John Graeme Houston, Peter Arno Stonebridge

Patent number: 8557152Abstract: A method of making a flooring element. The flooring element is a tile formed of a polymer with embedded filler material. The filler material includes abrasive particles adjacent the top surface and a resilient or rubber-like material. The bottom surface of the tile includes a plurality of particles embedded in and extending from the bottom, which enables the tile to be securely adhered to a substrate. One embodiment of a method of making the tile includes adding a first layer containing a filler material to a mold, vibrating the mold to cause the heavier filler material to sink, applying a plurality of particles to the top of the polymer mixture in the mold, and polymerizing the mixture in the mold. In another embodiment, a second layer including resilient particles is added to the mold above the first layer before the mold is vibrated.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: MRB Holdings CorporationInventor: Malcolm Roger Curzon Donald
