A article with interior interrupted threads and a mold apparatus for manufacturing the same is provided. The molded article includes an aperture positioned completely therethrough as defined by an inner wall. The inner aperture wall carries a series of thread segments positioned about the periphery of the inner wall to form an interrupted helical thread line. The thread segments create a female threaded aperture through the molded article for receipt of a male threaded member therein. The mold apparatus includes an upper half and a lower half. The upper half carries a cylindrical wall which is notched with its upper edge being beveled .outwardly. The bottom half also carries a cylindrical wall which is notched as well as beveled outwardly. The two cylindrical wall top edges meet together with respective beveled edges of each notched portion of the cylindrical walls being positioned adjacent one another to form a series of thread matrices for molding thread segments on the inner wall of the aperture through the molded article.
A mold construction for molding structures, made of plastic for securing a heat sink member with male threading to a heat generating member in flush communication, said structures having interrupted interior threads of greater than one turn, comprising:
A mold construction useful for molding interrupted thread segments, having greater than one turn, on an inner wall surface of an aperture through a molded article which is manufactured of plastic and is capable of securing a heat sink member with male threading to a heat generating member in flush communication, comprising:
