Abstract
Abstract In an injection resin machine, runners are provided perpendicular to the runners of the fixed plate in order to force the resin flow toward the sprues into a same direction and to achieve uniform resin pressure in the proceeding direction, thus realizing uniform injection into the runners.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
191 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second sprues through which said first and second resins respectively pass and which said sprues are perpendicular to said junction plane, and a second parallel runner which connects said perpendicular sprues with said first runner and which said second parallel runner is parallel to said junction plane, and wherein a wall for changing a flow of said first resin from said first perpendicular sprue on said fixed plate to said second parallel runner is shifted from a wall for changing a flow of said second resin from said second perpendicular sprue on said fixed plate to said first parallel runner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
191 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second sprues through which said first and second resins respectively pass and which said sprues are perpendicular to said junction plane, and a second parallel runner which connects said perpendicular sprues with said first runner and which said second parallel runner is parallel to said junction plane, and wherein a wall for changing a flow of said first resin from said first perpendicular sprue on said fixed plate to said second parallel runner is shifted from a wall for changing a flow of said second resin from said second perpendicular sprue on said fixed plate to said first parallel runner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
167 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member and having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second parallel sprues through which said first and second resins respectively pass and which are perpendicular to said junction plane, a second parallel runner which connects the first parallel runner on said runner plate and a third parallel runner connecting between said first and second parallel runners, and wherein walls for changing flows of said first and second resins directed toward said second parallel runner are shifted from each other on said second parallel runner.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
167 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member and having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second parallel sprues through which said first and second resins respectively pass and which are perpendicular to said junction plane, a second parallel runner which connects the first parallel runner on said runner plate and a third parallel runner connecting between said first and second parallel runners, and wherein walls for changing flows of said first and second resins directed toward said second parallel runner are shifted from each other on said second parallel runner.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
199 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member and having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second sprues through which said resins from said first and second injection cylinders respectively pass and which are perpendicular to said junction plane, and a second parallel runner which connects said first sprue with the first parallel runner and which said second parallel runner is parallel to said junction plane, wherein said first resin advances through said first sprue and said second parallel runner on said fixed plate to the first parallel runner on said runner plate and flows against a wall of said second parallel runner to be diverted and said second resin advances from said second sprue to the first runner on the runner plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
199 words
An injection molding machine comprising: a first injection cylinder for injecting a first resin for forming a skin layer; a second injection cylinder for injecting a second resin for forming a core layer; a fixed plate connected with said first and second injection cylinders; a mold member provided with a cavity for molding a molded product; and a runner plate positioned between said fixed plate and said mold member and having a first parallel runner to a junction plane with said fixed plate; wherein said fixed plate is provided with first and second sprues through which said resins from said first and second injection cylinders respectively pass and which are perpendicular to said junction plane, and a second parallel runner which connects said first sprue with the first parallel runner and which said second parallel runner is parallel to said junction plane, wherein said first resin advances through said first sprue and said second parallel runner on said fixed plate to the first parallel runner on said runner plate and flows against a wall of said second parallel runner to be diverted and said second resin advances from said second sprue to the first runner on the runner plate.
