FIG. 5 shows core pins of a mold for molding the inside of the holder 3. The core pin is composed of a first core pin 7 that is pulled out to the front of the molded product holder 3 and a second core pin 8 that is pulled out to the rear of the molded product holder 3. With the first core pin 7, the mounting hole 31 And communication hole 32
And the tapered portion 3 is formed by the second core pin 8.
The ink circulation hole 33 having 3a is formed. The second
An insertion hole 81 into which the rear end portion of the first core pin 7 can be fitted is opened in the tip end surface of the core pin 8. The tip of the second core pin 8 has a thickness for molding the stepped portion 33b of the holder 3, and there is no fear of lowering the durability of the mold.
