Patent ID: 7107679

Claim:
A forming method of a throttle apparatus for an internal combustion engine, the throttle apparatus including a substantially tubular throttle body and a substantially disc-shaped throttle valve, the throttle valve having an axis around which the throttle valve rotate in the tubular throttle body between a close position and an open position, the throttle valve and the throttle body being molded substantially simultaneously in same molding dies in such a manner that the throttle valve is rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to a full closed position in which the throttle valve and the throttle body define a minimum gap therebetween, the forming method of the throttle apparatus, comprising: clamping a pair of molding dies to form a body cavity and a valve cavity therein, the body cavity being for molding a throttle body and the valve cavity being for molding a throttle valve in such a manner that the throttle valve is rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to a full closed position, so that the throttle valve is not in contact with an inner bore surface of the throttle body; substantially simultaneously injecting a filler into the body cavity and the valve cavity; moving one of said molding dies away from the other of said molding dies; and protruding a body ejector into the body cavity and a valve ejector pin into the valve cavity in order to eject a solidified molding.
