Abstract
A coupling element, an injection molding object with the coupling element implanted therein, and an injection mold for manufacturing the injection molding object are provided. The coupling element has two reversely extended fixing ribs. The injection mold has a first mold and a second mold. The first mold has a first molding cavity and two positioning blocks separated by the first molding cavity. The second mold has a second molding cavity. When the first mold and the second mold are shut together and their molding cavities combine to define a closed room, the positioning blocks hold the coupling element by clamping the fixing ribs so the coupling element is suspended in midair of the closed room.
