Patent number: 8062016Abstract: An injection molded article with which a sheet-like material, such as a decorative sheet, is integrated is manufactured without causing damage to the sheet-like material. A molten resin injected into a mold cavity, passes smoothly a peripheral edge of the mold cavity, and flows into a groove portion without accumulating in the vicinity of the peripheral edge. When cooling the molten resin, the temperature of the molten resin in the groove decreases more quickly than the temperature of the molten resin in the mold cavity, because the volume of the groove portion is smaller. As a result, the viscosity of the molten resin in the groove portion and in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the mold cavity is increased rapidly, preventing a further volume of the molten resin from flowing into the groove portion. The sheet-like material in the vicinity of the peripheral edge is covered by the resinous material of diminished fluidity and protected against exposure to heat and/or pressure of the molten resin.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2006Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Moriroku Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Baba, Koji Akasaka, Daiju Kawakami

Patent number: 8033807Abstract: A foil-decorating injection molding apparatus having a male mold, a female mold, a transport chuck for feeding a decorative sheet S between the male mold and the female mold, and a clamper for pressing and fastening the decorative sheet onto a parting surface of the female mold. The transport chuck consists of two clamping devices each clamping a side edge of the decorative sheet. The clamper consists of a pressing frame and a connecting member. When the pressing frame is in abutment with the female mold, a space is provided between the connecting member and the female mold in which the clamping devices can pass through. After the decorative sheet is fed by the clamping chuck, the sheet can be fastened by the clamper without waiting until the chuck is brought back to an initial standby position, thereby reducing the manufacturing time.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2004Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroyuki Atake
