Mold structure and bumper

A mold structure for molding a molded object having an undercut portion, comprising:

• a first mold having a first molding surface configured to mold an obverse surface of the molded object, and a first parting surface connecting with the first molding surface via a first edge portion;
• a slide core having an undercut molding surface and a second parting surface, the undercut molding surface being configured to mold the undercut portion as part of the obverse surface of the molded object, the second parting surface connecting with the undercut molding surface via a second edge portion;
• and
• a second mold having a second molding surface configured to mold a reverse surface of the molded object,
• wherein the first molding surface and the undercut molding surface form a cavity surface,
• the slide core is configured to move in a direction that intersects with a direction in which the first mold and the second mold are opened,
• the second parting surface abuts on the first parting surface in a clamped mold state of the mold structure,
• in the clamped mold state of the mold structure, the slide core protrudes further than the first mold, toward the second molding surface and is configured to form a concave step of the molded object,
• the first mold and the slide core are configured to form a parting line of the concave step of the molded object at the first edge portion, and
• the mold structure is configured to mold the molded object so that the parting line of the concave step of the molded object is located below a matching component to be concealed with the aid of the matching component.
