Patent ID: 7229582

Claim:
A method of two-stage injection molding of an air conditioner outlet vent device that includes a synthetic resin housing having a pair of side walls having a plurality of matching pairs of shaft holes provided therein; a plurality of synthetic resin blades each integrally having a blade main body, support shafts projecting from the blade main body so as to be pivotably fitted in a matching pair of the shaft holes, a projection projecting from the blade main body at a position displaced to the rear of the support shafts, and a link shaft having an axis parallel to the support shafts and being connected to the projection, the blades being disposed in parallel to each other within the housing; and a link for connecting the link shafts of the blades; the method comprising a primary injection step of molding the housing; and a subsequent secondary injection step of injection-molding the plurality of blades including the projection and link shaft thereof while utilizing the shaft holes of the housing as support shaft formation cavities for injection molding the support shafts; wherein, in the secondary injection step, a molten resin is injected into cavities formed within a mold device in a closed mold state from a plurality of gates provided in portions of the mold device to form each blade including the projection and link shaft thereof, each gate corresponding to the projections of the blades.
