Patent number: 6187243Abstract: The method of resin molding is capable of preventing molded products from forming resin flash on their surfaces. The method comprises the steps of: covering over a parting face, of at least one of molding dies with release film; clamping a work piece, with the release film, by the molding dies; and filling the melted resin in the molding section of the molding die, wherein the release film is tightly pressed on a surface of a part of the work piece, which is exposed after molding, in the clamping step. By pressing the release film on the surface of the part of the work piece, the release film prevents the melted resin from invading into a gap between the release film and the work piece, so that no resin flash is formed on the surface of the work piece.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Apic Yamada CorporationInventor: Fumio Miyajima

Patent number: 5891384Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a resin molding machine having molding dies, which have simple structures and which can be easily made. Another object is to provide a method of resin molding using release film, which is capable of employing various materials as a material for the molding dies. In the resin molding machine of the present invention, molding dies have molding sections including cavities, and the molding dies are capable of clamping a member to be molded. A pot pressurizes and sends resin melt to the cavities. A fixing mechanism fixes release film, which is capable of easily peeling off from the molding dies and resin for molding, on inner faces of the molding sections and clamping faces, and the fixing mechanism fixes the release film by sucking air.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1995Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Apic Yamada CorporationInventor: Fumio Miyajima

Patent number: 5824252Abstract: A method and apparatus for resin molding upon an insert-member. The molding machine includes an upper die and a lower die, a cavity in at least one of the dies, a pot in which resin is introduced, and a resin path which allows the resin to flow from the pot into the cavity and onto the insert-member set in the dies. A film member is set between a parting face of the die and the insert-member. The film member covers a part of the insert-member corresponding to the resin path. An edge of the film member coincides with at least one of side edges of the cavity. The insert-member is clamped by the dies together with the film member when molding occurs.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Apic Yamada CorporationInventor: Fumio Miyajima

Patent number: 5800841Abstract: A method of resin molding for molding regular products and a resin molding machine for the same. In the method of the present invention, release film, which is capable of easily peeling off from molding dies and resin, is provided on faces of the molding dies. A member to be molded by the molding dies is clamped together with the release film. An inner face of a pot of the molding die is covered with the release film. A resin tablet is supplied into the pot.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1995Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Apic Yamada CorporationInventor: Fumio Miyajima

Patent number: 5770128Abstract: Insert-parts are set onto a lower die (10), and resin tablets are supplied into pots (10a) for resin mold. A press mechanism A molds the insert-parts, a mold is opened, then the lower die (10) is slid to a first position, which is located side of a molding position. At the first position, an unloading mechanism (C) and a parts-loading mechanism (D) execute to clean parting faces of the mold, and to set resin tablets and insert-parts. The lower die (10) returns to the molding position for next molding. By sliding the lower die (10), works of taking out molded products, setting insert-parts, etc. can be easier, and the molding cycle time can be shortened.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1993Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Apic Yamada CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Kobayashi, Ryoichi Arai, Yasuhiko Miyashita, Kazumi Sawazaki
