Abstract
Abstract Two mold halves together form a mold cavity and one of the mold halves is fitted with a plurality of ejector rods that can be reciprocated so as to push a molded article out of that half. At least some of these ejector rods are formed with throughgoing passages terminating adjacent the inner ends thereof at nozzle openings. Air and a treatment fluid, such as a demolding liquid, can be injected into the mold interior through these rods, the nozzle openings in the ends of the rods being covered during the normal molding operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A molding apparatus comprising: a first mold half; a second mold half forming with said first half a mold cavity and formed with a bore between said cavity and the exterior; means operatively connected to said first mold half for moving same toward and away from said second mold half to open and close said cavity; an elongated ejector element in said bore having an inner end displaceable into said cavity and an outer end lying outside said mold halves, said element being formed with a passage extending between said ends; means operatively connected to said element and shiftable relative to said second mold half for displacing said element between a first position with said inner end within said cavity to eject a molded article from said cavity and a second position with said inner end generally flush with an inner surface of said cavity; and means including a source of mold-wall treating release liquid connected to said passage at said outer end for injecting a portion of said liquid into said cavity in said first position of said element, said ejector element being formed with means for training a spray of the liquid from said

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The apparatus defined in claim 1 wherein said element has an end face at said inner end and said passage is provided at said inner end with a laterally opening nozzle adjacent said face and recessed in said bore in said second position, said laterally opening nozzle being exposed in said
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
The apparatus defined in claim 2 wherein said element is constructed and arranged for displacement by said means for displacing through such a stroke that in said first position said end face lies flush with said inner wall and in said second position said nozzle is directed so that liquid issuing therefrom strokes the inner wall of said cavity both in
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus defined in claim 3 wherein said element has a plurality of such nozzles opening in different directions.
