Patent number: 8899963Abstract: A hot nozzle for spraying of plastic components. The hot nozzle includes a multipart nozzle body including a tip inset including a tip element having a tip section protruding outwardly beyond a circumferential surface of the multipart nozzle body into a molding plate. The tip section of the tip element is penetrated by a shut-off needle which is movable in a reciprocating manner by a drive. The shut-off needle is movable between a position in which the shut-off needle closes off a feed borehole in the molding plate and a position in which the shut-off needle opens the feed borehole.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Ewikon Heisskanalsysteme GmbHInventor: Peter Braun
