Abstract

Abstract A resin injection metal mold unit comprising, in combination, a metal mold consisting of a cavity section and a core section, and stationary and movable metal mold supporting members for releasably holding the metal mold sections in the opposing relationship. Each supporting member has a plurality of clamping members for engaging an associated mold section. Each clamping member has a clamping slant in the complementary relationship with the counter slant chamfer of the mold section. Such members are slidably attached to an associated supporting member so as to move close and apart from the mold section. When a mold section is fixed to an associated supporting member, the clamping members are brought in contact with the mold section with their clamping slants closely fitting the counter chamfer slants of the mold section, and then clamping members are fixed to the supporting member by driving associated bolts, thereby pushing and holding the mold section against the supporting member. When the mold section is removed from the supporting member, the clamping members are loosened and brought away from the mold section, thereby releasing the mold section.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 189 words
Resin injection metal mold unit comprising, in combination, a metal mold consisting of a first mold section defining a cavity and a second mold section defining a core, each section having chamfers at at least two selected opposite points and a mold temperature controlling fluid channel extending between said at least two points, a stationary metal mold supporting member and a movable metal mold supporting member, said members being adapted to releasably hold the cavity defining section and the core defining section of the metal mold in opposing relationship, each supporting member having a plurality of slidable clamping members for engaging an associated mold section by said at least two selected opposite points, each clamping member having a clamping slant in complementary relationship with a respective chamfer of the associated mold section, and a fluid channel opening at the surface of the clamping slant, such that the fluid channel of each clamping member is put in communication with the mold temperature controlling fluid channel of each mold section of the metal mold when the metal mold is fixed to the stationary and movable supporting members with the clamping members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 189 words
Resin injection metal mold unit comprising, in combination, a metal mold consisting of a first mold section defining a cavity and a second mold section defining a core, each section having chamfers at at least two selected opposite points and a mold temperature controlling fluid channel extending between said at least two points, a stationary metal mold supporting member and a movable metal mold supporting member, said members being adapted to releasably hold the cavity defining section and the core defining section of the metal mold in opposing relationship, each supporting member having a plurality of slidable clamping members for engaging an associated mold section by said at least two selected opposite points, each clamping member having a clamping slant in complementary relationship with a respective chamfer of the associated mold section, and a fluid channel opening at the surface of the clamping slant, such that the fluid channel of each clamping member is put in communication with the mold temperature controlling fluid channel of each mold section of the metal mold when the metal mold is fixed to the stationary and movable supporting members with the clamping members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 109 words
Resin injection metal mold unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said stationary and movable supporting members is a relatively thick plate, each plate having an elongated slot at opposite ends for slidably holding a nut, each of said clamping members having a recess at its bottom, a bolt extending through the clamping member and outwardly from the bottom of the clamping member, a coil spring around the bolt in the recess of the clamping member, each clamping member being fixed to an associated supporting member with a respective one of said bolts threadedly engaged with the nut contained in the slot, thereby compressing the coil spring.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 60 words
Resin injection metal mold unit as claimed in claim 2, wherein said stationary and movable supporting members have keys embedded therein whereas said cavity defining section and said core defining section of the metal mold have back surfaces abutting said supporting members, said back surfaces having key grooves formed therein, said key grooves receiving said keys of the supporting members.
