MOLDED PART, MOLDED PART SUPPORTING STRUCTURE, AND MOLDED PART CONVEYANCE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18518213 titled 'MOLDED PART, MOLDED PART SUPPORTING STRUCTURE, AND MOLDED PART CONVEYANCE METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The stackable molded part described in the patent application includes a runner portion connecting multiple parts and a positioning portion protruding in a column shape from the runner portion to one side in a stacking direction. The end portion of the positioning portion of one molded part can engage with the end portion of the positioning portion of another molded part when stacked on top of each other.

  • Runner portion connects multiple parts
  • Positioning portion protrudes in a column shape from the runner portion
  • End portion of positioning portion can engage with another molded part when stacked
  • Positioning portion protrudes more than the parts in the stacking direction
