Abstract: A three piece nozzle assembly for injecting molten plastic in an injection molding machine carrying out a high pressure, high volume continuous molding process to mold thin walled parts. A nozzle housing has an internally threaded dual diameter bore in one end which receives in one bore portion an externally threaded shank of a nozzle. A sleeve is threaded into the other bore portion and is tightened adjacent to a flange on the nozzle shank to lock the nozzle to the housing and prevent the pressure of the injection molding from working the nozzle loose from the housing. A gap is formed between the sleeve and nozzle shank to reduce the thermal effects.

Abstract: A triple stack mold which is operated by a standard mold press and which presents three molding interfaces. Molten plastic is supplied to all molding cavities in equal amounts through a distribution system that includes manifolds in the mold components which receive the plastic and distribute it through passages leading to the mold cavities. The main passages leading to the manifolds are equipped with special nozzles constructed to compensate for differential thermal expansion of the mold parts.
