Abstract: A nozzle arrangement for a fluid assisted injection molding apparatus has a central passage connected to an injection molding machine at one end and a section of the passage forming an outer sleeve at its opposite end. A channel at the opposite end of the nozzle connects the outer sleeve with an inlet runner leading to the mold cavity through which plasticized resin material can be injected. A pressurized fluid conduit coaxial with the nozzle forms an inner sleeve movable into and out of telescoping engagement with the outer sleeve for respectively blocking and opening the connection between the outer sleeve and its connecting channel. The conduit has a connecting passage, and it central passage is closed at its inner end.
