Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a moulding assembly for the injection of plastics materials, constituted by two blocks of light alloy, located on either side of the mould joint, and in which the lower block comprises a closed cavity containing the battery of ejectors, wherein: said cavity in the lower block receiving the battery is closed by a steel plate; said lower block also presents an open cavity adapted to receive the lower mold cavity defining insert member of the mould; the upper block also comprises an open cavity adapted to receive the upper mold cavity defining insert member; and the two blocks are provided with interchangeable steel plates, disposed opposite and in the immediate vicinity of the mould joint.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 191 words
Injection molding apparatus, comprising: a first mold block cast of a single piece of light alloy material, defining first and second cavities therein, said first mold block having plural ejector means projecting therethrough, said first cavity being closed by a steel plate, said first cavity enclosing therein means for maneuvering said ejector means, said second cavity having at least one mold cavity defining insert member disposed therein; a second mold block cast of a single piece of light alloy material, defining a third cavity therein, said third cavity having at least one mold cavity defining insert member disposed therein, and means for supplying thermoplastic molding material to mold cavities defined by said mold cavity defining insert members; a face of said first mold block opposite to said first cavity having disposed adjacent thereto a first interchangeable steel plate, and a face of said second mold block opposite to said means for supplying having a second interchangeable steel plate which is interchangeable as said first interchangeable steel plate, said interchangeable steel plates being in contact with each other in the vicinity of a contact surface between said mold cavity defining insert members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 191 words
Injection molding apparatus, comprising: a first mold block cast of a single piece of light alloy material, defining first and second cavities therein, said first mold block having plural ejector means projecting therethrough, said first cavity being closed by a steel plate, said first cavity enclosing therein means for maneuvering said ejector means, said second cavity having at least one mold cavity defining insert member disposed therein; a second mold block cast of a single piece of light alloy material, defining a third cavity therein, said third cavity having at least one mold cavity defining insert member disposed therein, and means for supplying thermoplastic molding material to mold cavities defined by said mold cavity defining insert members; a face of said first mold block opposite to said first cavity having disposed adjacent thereto a first interchangeable steel plate, and a face of said second mold block opposite to said means for supplying having a second interchangeable steel plate which is interchangeable as said first interchangeable steel plate, said interchangeable steel plates being in contact with each other in the vicinity of a contact surface between said mold cavity defining insert members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 33 words
The injection moulding apparatus of claim 1, wherein said lower bock comprises support pillars extending into said first cavity, said support pillars being attachable to said steel plate for closing said first cavity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The injection moulding apparatus of claim 1, wherein said upper block comprises a steel plate on a face opposite said third cavity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
The injection moulding apparatus of claim 3, wherein said lower bock comprises support pillars extending into said first cavity, said support pillars being attachable to said steel plate for closing said first cavity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
The injection moulding apparatus of claim 1, wherein said light alloy is a heat-treated aluminum alloy.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The assembly of claim 5, wherein the aluminium alloy is an alloy 7075 or 7010 in state T 651.
