Title: Ikuhiko Ozeki: Innovator in Insert Molding Technology
Introduction
Ikuhiko Ozeki is a notable inventor based in Kohnan, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of molding technology, particularly through his innovative methods and designs. With a total of 2 patents to his name, Ozeki continues to push the boundaries of engineering and manufacturing.
Latest Patents
Ozeki's latest patents include an "Insert Molding Method and Metal Mold" and an "Insert Molding Method and Mold." The first patent describes a method for injection molding of resin or rubber at an insert positioned in a lower mold. This method involves injecting and filling melted resin or rubber into a cavity of an upper mold through a gate. The lower metal mold features a flexible supporting member that supports the mold insert. This supporting member is vertically movable within a recess formed on the upper surface of the lower mold. The underside of the supporting member is supported by the tip ends of shafts of pressing members that operate independently. The movable supporting member is pressed towards the upper mold at multiple positions, ensuring that the resin or rubber is molded uniformly when the upper surface of the insert contacts the underside of the upper mold.
The second patent outlines a similar insert molding method and mold, which includes an upper mold and a lower mold that oppose each other. In this design, the cavity at the upper mold side is filled with molten resin or rubber material injected through a gate. This process performs injection molding of the resin or rubber around an insert set at the lower mold side. A movable supporting member sets the insert and is fitted into a recessed part on the upper face of the lower mold. The center of gravity at the lower face of the movable supporting member is supported and pressed towards the upper mold side by the tip of a shaft of a pressing mechanism. This design allows for tilting of the movable supporting member, ensuring uniform surface contact between the upper face of the insert and the lower face of the upper mold.
