Abstract
Abstract Injection molding apparatus is disclosed including a two cavity split-mold with a flow passage between the cavities. The sprue channel is heated as is the flow passage between the mold cavities. The apparatus has a rotatable core with a longitudinal recess. The flow passage has replaceable inserts for varying the size of the flow passage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A split mold of an injection-molding machine, comprising two half-molds mounted on plates of the injection-molding machine; coolant supply channels formed in said half-molds; a first die incorporated in one of the half-molds and having forming surfaces; a second die incorporated in the other half-mold and having forming surfaces; a gating system for feeding the polymer melt; cavities defined by the forming surfaces when the half-molds are brought together, said cavities communicating with each other and with the gating system; openings of said cavities, adapted to communicate the cavities with each other and with the gating system, the openings disposed at the entrance of the melt into the cavity serving as inlets and those disposed at the exit of the melt from the cavity as outlets; conventional heaters mounted in said first and second die at the inlet and outlet openings; replaceable inserts positioned at the outlet openings of the cavity to alter the flow area of these openings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A split mold of an injection-molding machine, comprising two half-molds mounted on plates of the injection-molding machine; coolant supply channels formed in said half-molds; a first die incorporated in one of the half-molds and having forming surfaces; a second die incorporated in the other half-mold and having forming surfaces; a gating system for feeding the polymer melt; cavities defined by the forming surfaces when the half-molds are brought together, said cavities communicating with each other and with the gating system; openings of said cavities, adapted to communicate the cavities with each other and with the gating system, the openings disposed at the entrance of the melt into the cavity serving as inlets and those disposed at the exit of the melt from the cavity as outlets; conventional heaters mounted in said first and second die at the inlet and outlet openings; replaceable inserts positioned at the outlet openings of the cavity to alter the flow area of these openings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
102 words
A split mold as claimed in claim 1, wherein the die cavity, at least the first as viewed in the direction of the polymer flow, has a channel extending throughout its length and opened from the side of the cavity; an elongated rod member mounted in said channel for reciprocation; means for reciprocating said rod member, connected with one of its ends; a projection formed on the other end of said elongated rod member, the latter having its external surface, presented to the cavity, functioning as a forming surface; a depression made in the forming surface of the rod member lengthwise thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A split mold as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the course of producing hollow moldings a forming mandrel is rotatably positioned in the cavities of said half-molds and is arranged coaxially therewith; a conventional actuator intended for rotating said forming mandrel; a movable rod member mounted on said forming mandrel; a lever mechanism adapted to connect said thrust member with said half-molds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
A split mold as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the forming surfaces of said first or second die is made movable in the direction of another forming surface so as to alter the volume of the cavity they form; a conventional valve device arranged in close proximity with the outlet opening and adapted to close the latter when required.
