A toilet assembly comprising: a toilet bowl; a toilet seat; and a hinge pivotally connecting the toilet seat to the toilet bowl, the hinge including a base portion connected to the toilet bowl, the base portion being made of a relatively rigid material; a leaf portion connected to the toilet seat, the leaf portion being made of a relatively rigid material; and a living hinge portion pivotally connecting the base portion to the leaf portion, the living hinge portion being made of a relatively flexible material.

Toilet seat hinge and method of manufacture

A method of injection molding at least one part in a single mold having therein at least one cavity, the method comprising providing first and second injection molding devices, using the first injection molding device to inject material into the single mold, and thereafter using the second injection molding device to inject material into the single mold.

Injection-molding system and method

A thermosetting-resin-based coating that is capable of forming a substantially flame-resistant barrier upon being exposed to heat. The coating includes a thermoset resin, an acid catalyst having a pKa value of less than 2, a filler selected from glass, mica, talc, perlite, vermiculite and combinations thereof, and an organic-intumescent material. The thermoset coating is at least 75% of the total weight of the coating.

Flame-resistant-thermoset coating

A medical suction system comprising a medical suction canister used in draining bodily fluid from a patient, and a cleaning station for automatically draining and cleaning the suction canister and for automatically providing a visible indication that the canister has been cleaned.

Medical suction system

A co-injection nozzle pin () having downstream and upstream ends. The nozzle pin has therein a central bore () including an upstream end () adapted to communicate with a first material and a downstream end () exiting at the downstream end of the pin. The nozzle pin also has an outer surface () including a first portion () having a diameter D, a second portion () having a diameter D, wherein Dis less than Dand the first portion is rearward of the second portion. The pin further includes a channel () spiralling around the outer surface and being adapted to communicate with a second material. The channel () includes a first segment () defined in the first portion () of the outer surface and increasing in depth as it travels in a downstream direction and a second segment () defined in the second portion () of the outer surface and decreasing in depth as it travels in a downstream direction.

Co-injection apparatus for injection molding

The invention provides a method of co-injection molding. The method includes mixing a plastic inner material and an endothermic-blowing agent to form a core mixture. A plastic outer material is injected from a first injection unit into a co-injection manifold to create a flow of outer material therethrough. The core mixture is injected from a second injection unit into the co-injection manifold to create a flow of core mixture therethrough. The flow of the outer material and the flow of the core mixture are then controlled through the co-injection manifold and into a mold cavity. The core mixture expands as heat is provided for the endothermic-blowing agent to absorb.
