Abstract
To provide a resin pin tip of a pin chain to be attached to distal end of a pin projecting from the pin chain to hold and convey a bottomed cylindrical body such as a can without causing scratches on its inner surface, a concave is formed on distal end surface of the pin tip, a gate port through which resin is injected is provided within the concave, and outer circumferential surface and the distal end surface of the pin tip are formed as smooth and glossy surfaces.

A resin pin tip of a pin chain to be attached to distal end of a pin projecting from the pin chain to hold and convey a bottomed cylindrical body such as a can, wherein:
- a concave is formed on distal end surface of the pin tip;
- a gate port through which resin is injected is provided within the concave;
- and
- outer circumferential surface and the distal end surface of the pin tip are formed as smooth and glossy surfaces.
A method of manufacturing a resin pin tip of a pin chain to be attached to distal end of a pin projecting from the pin chain to hold and convey a bottomed cylindrical body such as a can, comprising the steps of:
- forming a cavity of a metal mold such that a concave can be provided on distal end surface of the pin tip;
- forming a gate port through which resin is injected into the cavity within the concave;
- injecting resin through the gate port;
- and
- removing the gate after molding.
