The core is then positioned between a first hemispherical shell and a diametrically opposed second hemispherical shell, which are each formed from a rubber material. The first and second hemispherical shells are then compression molded such that rubber material conforms to the outer surface of the core. The rubber material is then cured to form a unitary intermediate layer that surrounds the core. Finally, a cover layer is molded about the intermediate layer through one of injection molding and compression molding. | 01-08-2015 |
20150014882 | METHOD OF FORMING MOLDED COMPONENTS - A method of forming a hybrid injection molded component in which a metal core is formed and a chemically inert outer shell is formed over the metal core. The metal core material is thixotropically injected into a first mold, cooled, and removed from the first mold. The metal core is then inserted into a second mold and held in place with pin locators. Thermoplastic material is injected into a gap between the metal core and the second mold so as to form the outer shell. The pin locators are retracted and the thermoplastic material is allowed to fill in the spaces previously occupied by the pin locators. | 01-15-2015 |
20150054194 | Method for Manufacturing Non-Woven Composite Layer Product with Different Hardnesses - Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a non-woven composite layer product with different hardnesses, the non-woven composite layer product at least consisting of a hard layer with a thickness of between 2-7 mm and a weight of between 600-1200 g/m2, and a soft layer with a thickness of between 15-40 mm and a weight of between 600-1200 g/m2. The manufacturing method mainly comprises the steps of: sticking at least a first non-woven material to be pre-formed into a hard layer and a second non-woven material to be pre-formed into a soft layer to become an intermediate, and then feeding the intermediate into a baking oven at a constant temperature to heat at a heating temperature of 180±20° C. over a duration of longer than at least 200 seconds (inclusive), such that the first non-woven material and the second non-woven material are fully heated to softening, and the contact surfaces are bound by hot melting; and then feeding into a mold with different material thicknesses for a one-time hot-press molding, so as to obtain a non-woven composite layer product containing a hard layer and a soft layer with required specifications. | 02-26-2015 |
20150054195 | Method for 3-D Printing a Custom Bone Graft - A method for producing bone grafts using 3-D printing is employed using a 3-D image of a graft location to produce a 3-D model of the graft. This is printed using a 3-D printer and an ink that produces a porous, biocompatible, biodegradable material that is conducive to osteoinduction. This is porous poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) made osteoinductive by demineralized bone (DMB). The ink is provided as a precursor powder and liquid. The powder contains DMB, sucrose crystals and a polymerization initiator. The liquid contains methyl methacrylate (MMA). Optional compounds include antibiotics, radio-pacifiers, and compounds to increase biodegradability. Once mixed, the MMA polymerizes to PMMA. The ingredients are proportioned so that the ink is delivered through a 10 gauge print nozzle for about 10 minutes per batch. Once the graft is placed, natural bone gradually replaces the graft. | 02-26-2015 |
20150123310 | METHOD FOR INJECTION MOLDING END MUCKETS TO A PREVIOUSLY MOLDED VEHICLE PANEL AND PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATELY EXTRUDED AND ELONGATED COMPRESSION SEAL - A method for injection molding a pair of end muckets to a previously injection molded panel and prior to attaching a separately formed seal. The method includes the step of initially forming a vehicle panel from a first material in a closed cavity, following which a second stage injection molding process forms a pair of end muckets onto the panel. The separately formed seal exhibits an elongated profile and is inter-fitted between the end muckets, concurrent with being affixed to an extending surface of the panel, and to provide interface support between the seating ends of the seal and the adjoining vehicle fenders. Additional steps include injection molding a first plasticized materials into a closed cavity configuration established between assembled mold halves in order to initially mold the panel, following which a second plasticized material molds the end muckets along with additional wiper and windshield seals. | 05-07-2015 |
20150314538 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING A COMPOSITE PART BY DRAPE FORMING - The present disclosure relates to methods for manufacturing a part made from a composite material by means of a drape forming operation as well as to a tool for implementing the methods. In particular, the part has at least one inner convex surface. The methods use at least one outer manufacturing mold and at least one intermediate mold. The inner surface of the outer manufacturing mold substantially defines outer lines of the part to be manufactured, and the intermediate mold is arranged opposite the inner surface of the outer manufacturing mold such that an inner surface of the intermediate mold at least partially defines the molding lines of an intermediate portion of the part to be produced. | 11-05-2015 |
20150364888 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH MULTIPLE INJECT-MOLDING PROCESSES - A method for making an electrical connector include steps of: S1) providing a plurality of upper contacts and inject-molding an upper housing over the upper contacts so as to form an upper contact module; S2) providing a plurality of lower contacts and inject-molding a lower housing over the lower contacts so as to form a lower contact module; and S3) inject-molding an outer insulative housing over the upper contact module and the lower contact module. | 12-17-2015 |
