  • Patent number: 4726757
    Abstract: A rotary turret injection moulding machine has a turntable (12) carrying a plurality of mould sets (17) and arranged to be rotated continuously, a device for injecting moulding material into the moulds and a clamping mechanism for holding the moulds closed during the injection being reciprocated in synchronsym with the rotation of the turntable. Each mould set has one part (18) firmly mounted on the turntable and another part (19) which pivots for opening and closing the mould. A cam (40) follower coupled to the movable part cooperates with a stationary cam (41) extending around the turntable axis to close and open the mould as the turntable is rotated. The movable mould part includes a mould plate mounted for tilting movement on its support arm, and dowel pins (30) and sockets (31) on the mould plates are arranged to ensure correct alignment when they are closed together.
