A mold device includes a primary mold and a secondary mold. The primary mold includes a cavity mold and a primary core mold. The primary mold is configured to inject a first resin material into a first cavity to mold a primary molded product, the first cavity being formed by clamping the cavity mold and the primary core mold. The secondary mold includes the cavity mold and a secondary core mold. The secondary mold is configured to inject a second resin material into a second cavity to stack mold a secondary molded product on a peripheral edge of the primary molded product. The second cavity is formed by clamping the cavity mold and the secondary core mold. The cavity mold is configured to hold the primary molded product. The cavity mold includes a primary molded product holding portion configured to project into and retract from the first cavity, on a parting line of the primary mold. The secondary core mold includes a slide portion configured to project into and retract from the second cavity on a parting line of the secondary mold. The slide portion having a shape that complements the primary molded product holding portion. At the time of mold opening in primary molding, the primary molded product holding portion protrudes into the first cavity locks an end surface of the primary molded product to hold the primary molded product in the cavity mold. At the time of mold clamping in secondary molding, the primary molded product holding portion retracts from the second cavity and the slide portion slides relative to the primary molded product holding portion to protrude into the second cavity, to define the second cavity.

Mold device and injection molding method

A transparent resin molded product and a mold for molding the product are provided in which occurrence of silver streak in the resin molded product is prevented. The resin molded product includes a design portion and a non-design portion, at least a part of the design portion is molded by transparent resin, and a gate trace (a gate arrangement position during the resin molding) is disposed in the non-design portion (runner portion). A foreign matter restraining portion for restraining foreign matters and bubbles contained in the transparent resin is disposed in the vicinity of the gate trace of the non-design portion. The foreign matters and bubbles are restrained by the foreign matter restraining portion and are prevented from flowing to the design portion, and therefore the occurrence of silver streak on the design portion can be prevented.

Resin molded product and molding device

A resin-molded component includes a first molding part, and a second molding part. A portion of the first molding part and a portion of the second molding part are laminated in a direction of connecting an outer surface and an inner surface of the resin-molded component to provide a laminated portion. A portion of the second molding part is provided as an exposed portion. Each of portions of the laminated portion is located at least on opposite sides across the exposed portion. A one-side surface of the exposed portion in the laminating direction of the laminated portion is configured as a portion of the outer surface and the other-side surface thereof is configured as a portion of the inner surface.

Resin-molded component

Provided are a two-color molding method, and a two-color molded article capable of suppressing deterioration of the appearance quality which is caused by resin shrinkage or resin deformation in the two-color molding. The two-color molding method includes: molding a first resin portion by a common die and a primary die; and molding a second resin portion integrally with the first resin portion by the common die and a secondary die. An abutting portion is molded on an edge of the first resin portion to protrude toward the secondary die when the first resin portion is molded, and a distal end surface of the abutting portion is maintained to be abutted on a cavity surface or a parting surface of the secondary die when the second resin portion is molded. The deformation of the abutting portion or the first resin portion is suppressed to suitably mold the second resin portion.

Two-color molding method and two-color molded article

A vehicle lamp includes a light source, and a resin component disposed on the periphery of the light source. The resin component has a designed surface that can be observed from the outside of the lamp. The designed surface includes a textured surface having minute irregularities, and a projecting portion provided adjacent to the textured surface.
