Patent number: 7264465Abstract: An injection mold for producing, from thermoplastic plastic, fittings which have an annular groove on the inside. The injection mold includes an outer mold, divided into a first and second mold half and along a parting line, and a mold core being axially displaceable along a mold half. A complementary mold bead for forming the annular groove is formed by levers carrying ring segments. A slider, which bridges the parting plane of the outer mold and is connected to the second mold half, has guide grooves of differing obliqueness, in which there engage motionally lateral projections both of the mold core and of the actuating element. A guide, which extends the opening stroke of the mold core, is formed at a distance from the parting plane, between the slider and at least the mold core, the guide preferably comprising second, lateral projections and second guide grooves.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: IFW-Manfred Otte Gesellschaft m.b.H. & Co.

Patent number: 7264761Abstract: An improved molded plastic elbow and a related mold assembly and manufacturing method are provided, wherein the elbow defines an internal flow path having a smoothly radiused inside turn. The elbow is formed by injecting plastic material into a tubular mold cavity formed by closed mold members in cooperation with a pair of slidably retractable core units of circular cross section and having distal ends in mating, angularly set end-to-end contact to form the internal flow path having a turn formed along the length thereof. Each core unit comprises an outer core pin to form an outer portion of the flow path and including a ramped track for slide-fit mounting of an inner slide segment which forms an inner portion of the flow path and further includes a curved inside edge to form a portion of the smoothly radiused inside turn.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: David V.

Patent number: 7255553Abstract: A light guide plate mold core (1) includes a main body (13) having a molding surface (12) and a plurality of concavities (13a) formed at the molding surface. The main body is made of a material whose thermal conductivity is limited in the range from 0.002 cal/cm.s.K. (calories/centimeter.second.Kelvin) to 0.009 cal/cm.s.K. The thermal conductivity of the material for the light guide plate mold core is less than that of stainless steel. Therefore the rate of spreading of heat in the light guide plate mold core is lower than that of a conventional light guide plate mold core, so that stresses within a formed light guide plate can be released more. Thus by using the light guide plate mold core, a light guide plate having a highly even bottom surface can be manufactured. A method for manufacturing the light guide plate mold core is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Charles Leu, Tai-Cherng Yu, Ga-Lane Chen

Patent number: 7229269Abstract: A slide retaining device for an injection mold is disclosed. The slide retaining device has a device body which has a top surface and a bottom surface. A live bearing can be mounted in the device body such that a portion of the live bearing extends above a top surface of the device body. The device is secured such that the live bearing supports the travel of a slide. A shoulder surface is formed where a body head portion interfaces with a body base portion. A spring is disposed is around the body base portion such that a spring top is in communication with the shoulder surface, and a spring bottom extends below the bottom surface of the device body. The spring creates a “pre-load” force that will hold the slide in place. Optional washers can be added to the device to adjust the “pre-load”.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Progressive Components International CorporationInventor: Anthony J.

Patent number: 7229276Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method for manufacturing an outer tube of an injector having a barrel portion having an excellent circularity, while preventing generation of distortion or warp. A molten resin is injected into a cavity 17 of a metal mold 11 including: a fixed mold 13 having a hole portion 12 having a shape along the outer shape of the injector outer tube 1; a movable mold 14 closing the hole portion 12; and a core 15 inserted into the hole portion 12. A cylindrical vacant portion is provided communicating with a flange forming portion 20 of the hole portion 12. The molten resin R is injected from a sprue 22 and a runner 23 via a submarine gate 24 into the cylindrical vacant portion 21 and the molten resin R is introduced into the cavity 17. The cylindrical vacant portion 21 has a push pin 25. When the molten resin has become half-molten state, the resin in the cylindrical vacant portion is introduced with pressure into the cavity 17 by the push pin 25.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2006Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha TopInventor: Atsushi Chiba

Patent number: 7226282Abstract: A method of manufacturing a charge roller utilizes a foam rubber substance where epichlorohydrin oxide rubber and an acrylonitrile butadiene rubber are mixed at a ratio of 5:95, or utilizing a crosslinking rubber substance consisting of epichlorohydrin oxide rubber and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber having a polar low molecular polymeric characteristic, thus allowing the charge roller to maintain a low volume resistivity of 107 ?cm to 108 ?cm. As a result, the surface of a photosensitive drum can be charged by a minimum charging voltage, to thereby significantly reduce an amount of ozone. A method of manufacturing a charge roller employs peroxide as a cross linking agent for rapidly cross-linking molecular chains between an epichlorohydrin oxide rubber and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber forming a main composition of a foam rubber substance.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2003Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hae-Seog Jo, Hee-Won Jung
