Abstract: A clamping apparatus 30 has a driving plate 31 provided with a securing device 40 for securing tie rods 13 in a predetermined position in the axial direction, and a clamping drive device 50 for pressing a movable platen 12. The driving plate 31 is guided by guide bars 15, secured to the movable platen 12, in the axial direction. Rear parts of the guide bars 15 are secured to an adjusting plate 32 which is provided with a positioning means 60 for adjusting and holding a distance S between the driving plate 31 and the movable platen 12.

Abstract: In an injection molding machine, a fixed platen 2 is provided with an air cylinder 11 through a bracket 13 and a nozzle touch plate 10 is coupled to an end of a piston rod 12 of the air cylinder 11. The piston rod 12 is extendably and contractedly driven so that the nozzle touch plate 10 is moved forward and backward between a closed position where the tip opening 9a of the nozzle 9 can be closed and a retreated position where the opening 9a can be opened. On the nozzle touch plate 10, a spherical recess portion slightly larger in radius than the tip sphere of the nozzle 9 is formed as an abutment portion 10a, and a heater 14 for adjusting the temperature is disposed in the nozzle touch plate 10. Alternatively, a passage may be formed in the nozzle touch plate 10 so that a medium of an optimum temperature can be circulated and supplied.
