Method of making multilayer molded article

Abstract

A method is disclosed for making a multi-layer up molded article. One embodiment of the invention involves (a) step of, by a shut-off pin slidably received in a resin-supplying gate open to a cavity face of a first mold, bringing the resin-supplying gate into an opening state, and supplying, by way of the resin-supplying gate, a molten thermoplastic resin between the cavity face of the first mold and a cavity face of a second mold which are in an open state; (b) step of bringing the resin-supplying gate into a closing state the shut-off pin and projecting a part of find shut-off pin from the cavity face of the first mold; (c) step of closing find first and second molds so as to attain a closed state, thereby shaping find resin, and cooling thus shaped resin so as to be solidified; (d) step of opening find first and second molds so as to be placed in the open state; (e) step of returning find shut-off pin into find first mold, thereby forming a hold in the resin solidified in find step (c) and bringing find resin-supplying gate into the opening state, and supplying a molten thermoplastic resin between the resin solidified in find step (c) and the cavity face of find second mold by way of find resin-supplying gate and find hole; (f) step of bringing find resin-supplying gate into the closing state by means of find shut-off pin; (g) closing find first and second molds so as to attain the closed state, thereby shaping find resin, and cooling thus shaped resin so as to be solidified; and (h) opening find first and second molds so as to remove it therefrom.
