Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
Injection molding apparatus for the injection molding of bodies consisting of several layers, including a foamed thermoplastic core and a non-foamed thermoplastic skin, by injecting foaming and non-foaming thermoplastic material into a hollow molding tool, comprising: a. an injection head having an axial first bore, b. a first injection cylinder adapted to deliver a foaming thermoplastic material, c. a second injection cylinder adapted to deliver foaming thermoplastic material, d. a ring jet closing sleeve axially movable within the first bore and having a second axial bore, e. a closure needle axially movable within the second bore, f. a ring jet formed by the injection head and the closing sleeve, g. a central jet formed by the closing sleeve and the closure needle, h. a first conduit adapted to carry material from one of the cylinders to the ring jet, and i. a second conduit adapted to carry material from the other of the cylinders to the central jet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
Injection molding apparatus for the injection molding of bodies consisting of several layers, including a foamed thermoplastic core and a non-foamed thermoplastic skin, by injecting foaming and non-foaming thermoplastic material into a hollow molding tool, comprising: a. an injection head having an axial first bore, b. a first injection cylinder adapted to deliver a foaming thermoplastic material, c. a second injection cylinder adapted to deliver foaming thermoplastic material, d. a ring jet closing sleeve axially movable within the first bore and having a second axial bore, e. a closure needle axially movable within the second bore, f. a ring jet formed by the injection head and the closing sleeve, g. a central jet formed by the closing sleeve and the closure needle, h. a first conduit adapted to carry material from one of the cylinders to the ring jet, and i. a second conduit adapted to carry material from the other of the cylinders to the central jet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein the said one of the cylinders is the first cylinder and the said other of the cylinders is the second cylinder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein the sleeve and closure needle have front areas (42, 43) and the injection head has a front face (38) each at their respective forwardmost extremities, and when the sleeve, needle, and head are in a position in which the ring jet and central jet are closed, the face and areas are coplanar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
Apparatus as rectied in claim 3, wherein the front face and front areas form a part of the inside wall of the molding tool.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein separate displacement drives (25, 26) are connected to the sleeve and to the closure needle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
Apparatus as recited in claim 5, wherein the displacement drives control the positions of the sleeve, needle, and injection head with respect to one another.
