Inventor: OHBA KAZUO
IPC: B29C49/48
Filed: 1999-12-27
Granted: 2003-12-17
Abstract: A method for forming a safe molding material into an elastic doll head of a uniform thickness without deteriorating an appearance of the doll head. Split mold members (2, 3) each have an inner surface (2a, 3a) formed to have a configuration which provides a shape of a doll head (A) when the split mold members cooperate with each other. The split mold members (2, 3) form the doll head with a parting line (18) in a manner to extend from an upper portion (27) of a forehead of the doll head through a rear side (28) of each of ears thereof to a rear portion (29) of a neck thereof, to thereby substantially equally divide the doll head into two halves. A molding material mainly consisting of a thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomer is heated and dropped in the form of a parison (13) into a space defined between the split mold members (2, 3) kept spaced from each other. Then, the split mold members (2, 3) are joined to each other and air is blown into the thus-joined split mold members. A neck hole (75) is concurrently formed during the blow molding. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulically damped automatic play compensation device for motor vehicle clutches
IPC: F16D23/12
Filed: 1979-04-04
Granted: 1982-09-02
Abstract: A hydraulically damped automatic play compensation device for a motor vehicle clutch comprises a lever attached at one end to a clutch operating fork, and acting at the other end on a hydraulic damping cylinder which is axially slidable on a shaft, connected by a cable to a pedal lever and having a piston member with flow restriction means.
