  • Patent number: 8123515
    Abstract: This invention provides single-step pultrusion processes for producing fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) articles that may have variable cross sections and/or non-linear shapes. This unique capability results from the use of two sets of dies to form the article. The first is a set of moving dies connected together to form mating continuous loops of moving die links to: a) draw the FRP material into the apparatus; b) shape the cross section of the FRP material; c) cut the FRP material to the appropriate length; and d) hold the uncut FRP material in position for the next production cycle. The second set of dies forms a guide path mounted on opposing conveyers. The guide path includes heated die segments to define a curing section that may be non-linear. Cycling the moving die links through the curing section and/or cycling the conveyers provides a straightforward method for automated production of finished pultruded articles with unique shapes.

  • Patent number: 8100681
    Abstract: A mold for a battery, such as a secondary battery, and a method of molding a battery, such as a secondary battery, using the mold, uses a minimum amount of a molding substance, such as a resin, has its molding time shortened, and has a safety vent of a can being prevented from being fractured by high pressure during a molding process. Runners, through which a resin flows, are arranged parallel to cavities and the safety vent of the can is positioned closest to the gates, into which a resin is injected after the can and a protective circuit board are seated in the cavities. Due to the structure of the runners of the mold and the location of the safety vent of the can, the amount of resin used and the molding time are reduced. A fracture of the safety vent is avoided since a lower pressure occurs at the location closest to the gates during a resin filling process.

    Abstract: A golf ball mold that is composed of a plurality of mold parts which removably mate to form a cavity having an inner wall with a plurality of dimple-forming protrusions thereon, wherein a non-circular resin injection port is formed between a plurality of mutually adjoining dimple-forming protrusions which include dimple-forming protrusions that lie across a parting line of the mold. Also provided is a golf ball molded using such a mold, and a golf ball manufacturing method which uses such a mold. By using the mold of the invention, even when manufacturing golf balls with a high dimple surface coverage on which the dimples are tightly arranged particularly up to the vicinity of the resin injection port, imbalances in the resin injection pressure and flow rate during injection molding are suppressed, enabling golf balls to be manufactured without production problems such as molding defects, scorching, core deformation and core eccentricity.

  • Publication number: 20110286118
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed to a lens module manufactured from a wafer and a wafer level lens module manufacturing apparatus. The wafer level lens module manufacturing apparatus to mold lenses on a wafer provided with lens holes includes a first master substrate and a second master substrate disposed such that the wafer is between the first master substrate and the second master substrate. The wafer level lens module manufacturing apparatus also includes lens molding parts that enter the lens holes and are on at least one of the first master substrate and the second master substrate. The lens is molded to have a thickness less than that of the wafer using the first lens molding parts and second lens molding parts, and both surfaces of the lens are inside the lens hole. Therefore, even if wafers provided with lenses are stacked on each other, the lens does not contact the surfaces of the neighboring wafers or the lenses molded on the neighboring wafers.
