A submarine gate penetrates through the steel of the cavity. When the mold opens, the part sticks to the cavity and shears the piece at the gate. A properly located KO [knockout] pin, using the flexibility of the plastic, ejects the runner and pulls out the gate. This type of gate is usually used in automatic molds. 4, record 1, English, - submarine%20gate

In most processes, the air that expands the parison against the mold cavity must enter through blow pin tooling, which is available in four basic styles : simple tube, needle, ram down or calibrated prefinish, and pull-up prefinish. With the tube style, the mold is closed around the parison, which is closed and sealed around the tube. The tube usually enters the cavity through the center of the extrusion mandrel. 3, record 2, English, - simple%20tube%20style%20blow%20pin

... attaching commercial sockets of forged steel to wire rope ends ... The wire rope is seized at the end and another seizing is applied at a distance from the end equal to the length of the basket of the socket ... For large ropes, the seizing should be several inches long. The end seizing is now removed and the strands are separated so that the fiber core can be cut back to the next siezing. The individual wires are then untwisted and "broomed out" and for the distance they are to be inserted in the socket are carefully cleaned with benzine, naphtha, or unleaded gasoline. 2, record 5, English, - broom%20out

There are three types of zinced endings : A cone is formed from molten zinc poured into a mold in which a frayed rope end has been inserted; sometimes a ferrule is used as mold and stays on after pouring the zinc; or sockets are used instead of the ferrule. An open socket has ears to hold a pin and cotter. A closed socket has a loop or "bail. "Both are heavy forgings and find widespread use. All three zinced on endings need a good deal of preparation. The rope's end must be broomed out, cleaned with acid and straightened. Special endings : such as thimbles, clips, and clamps are quicker and easier to apply than a zinc socket, but efficiency is not as high as with other attachments. 3, record 5, English, - broom%20out

The [continuous extrusion blow-molding] process has three subcategories: the rising mold method, the rotary method, and the shuttle method. In the rising mold method, the parison is continuously extruded directly above the mold cavity. When it is at the proper length, the mold rises quickly to capture the parison and returns downward to the blow station. After blowing the bottle, the mold opens, the part is removed, and the process repeats. 2, record 7, English, - rising%20mold%20machine
