Abstract
Abstract A plastic injection molding device comprises a fixed plate 5 and a movable plate 7 bearing the two halves of a mold 3, a fixed plate 10 forming a bed, and hydraulic jacks 15, 17, 20 for moving and locking the plate 7. The plates are fixed or slidably mounted within a plurality of parallel hollow rectangular frames 11 which evenly distribute the forces transmitted by the fixed plates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for the injection molding of plastic articles or the like, said device having a generally horizontal axis and comprising a fixed first plate and a movable second plate respectively bearing the two halves of a mold, a fixed third plate or bed, and means for moving the movable second plate and for urging the two halves of the mold together, characterized by: the fixed first plate (5) and the bed (10) being mounted within at least two hollow rectangular frames (11) disposed parallel to each other, said frames being independently suspendedly supported by the fixed plate (5) and the bed (10) with no rigid connections between ones of said frames.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
112 words
A device for the injection molding of plastic articles or the like, said device having a generally horizontal axis and comprising a fixed first plate and a movable second plate respectively bearing the two halves of a mold, a fixed third plate or bed, and means for moving the movable second plate and for urging the two halves of the mold together, characterized by: the fixed first plate (5) and the bed (10) being mounted within at least two hollow rectangular frames (11) disposed parallel to each other, said frames being independently suspendedly supported by the fixed plate (5) and the bed (10) with no rigid connections between ones of said frames.
