  • Patent number: 5046939
    Abstract: An injection molding machine for producing plastic parts from chemical materials includes a mold mounting plate divided into two parts in a direction transverse to a closing direction of the parts. A quick-acting clamping device holds the parts together with a closing force. At least one of the parts is laterally movable on guide spars after releasing the clamping device. A melt guide system is disposed between the parts. Adapters are disposed in a cassette holder opening formed in at least one of the parts. Mold halves in the form of cassette plates have surfaces facing the melt guide system. At least one of the cassette plates is disposed on the adapters in the opening formed in the at least one part. There is a device disposed on the surface of the at least one cassette plate facing the melt guide system for transferring the closing force.

  • Patent number: 4793796
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection molding machine for the manufacture of plastic parts from thermoplastic, thermoset and/or elastomer material by injection molding or reaction injection molding. The machine includes a multi-station locking unit of horizontal or vertical configuration designed to hold a number of molds and an associated injection unit for the simultaneous injection of the molds. The apparatus further includes two outer mold clamping plates, one of which is arranged on guide elements and movable thereon in the locking direction, and a center mold-holding part movably arranged on guide elements between the two mold clamping plates. The mold-holding part is provided with a heatable melt conduction system with sprue nozzles and has one half of a mold attached to each of its two sides. The center mold-holding part is designed as a mold clamping plate sectioned lengthwise in three parts relative to the locking direction.

  • Patent number: 4793794
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for the manufacture of plastic parts from thermoplastic, thermoset and/or elastomer material by injection molding or reaction injection molding. The apparatus includes a multi-station locking unit of horizontal or vertical configuration adapted to hold a number of molds, and an associated injection unit for the simultaneous injection of the molds. The apparatus further has a movable center mold clamping plate sectioned lengthwise relative to the locking direction, the two parts of the plate being kept together by a high-speed clamping device and having arranged between the parts a melt conduction system having one or a number of separate melt conduction rails. Each melt conduction rail is rigidly clamped at its face between the sectioned mold clamping plate lengthwise relative to the direction of flow of the melt.

  • Patent number: 4790742
    Abstract: A cut-off nozzle system is mounted on the melt conduction duct of the center, sectioned mold clamping plate of an injection molding machine, in such a way that in addition to rapid accessibility of the individual parts of the nozzle system, the center, section mold clamping plate can be easily and quickly separated from the associated screw unit as required for the removal of the molded parts from the molds. The nozzle system has a spacing ring with a torpedo as well as a right-angled adapter and a cut-off nozzle, which parts are exchangeably joined with each other to form one rigid unit. With a high-speed clamping device, this unit is fastened on the movable center, sectioned mold clamping plate. For the upward removal of the molded parts, the screw unit is displaced sideways while the cut-off nozzle system remains mounted on the center mold clamping plate.

  • Patent number: 4781570
    Abstract: There is provided an injection molding machine for the manufacture of plastic parts from thermoplastic, thermoset and/or elastomer material by injection molding or reaction injection molding. The machine includes a multi-station locking unit of horizontal or vertical configuration designed to hold a number of molds and an injection unit associated therewith for the simultaneous injection of the molds. The machine also includes two outer mold clamping plates, one of which is mounted on guide elements and movable thereon in the locking direction and a center mold-receiving part movably mounted on guide elements between the two mold clamping plates and having a heatable melt conduction system with sprue nozzles and one half of a mold attached to each of its sides.

  • Patent number: 4769951
    Abstract: There is provided a door for motor vehicles formed of plastic material, the parts of which are substantially manufactured by injection molding. The door consists of a center single piece support construction for transmitting forces to the frame of the motor vehicle body, an outer door shell secured on the support construction and an inner door shell. The support construction is formed by a profiled frame provided with stiffening elements extending throughout the door and a reinforcement arranged beneath the window opening. The profiled frame is a steplessly changing profile having stiffening elements formed by injected stiffening ribs, and the reinforcement arranged beneath the window opening is injected in the profiled frame and consists of horizontally extending load profiles and vertically extending ribs forming a lattice construction.

  • Patent number: 4753592
    Abstract: An injection molding apparatus for the manufacture of plastic parts from thermoplastic, duroplastic and/or elastomer material by injection molding or reaction injection molding is provided. The apparatus has a multi-station locking unit of horizontal or vertical design adapted to receive a plurality of molds, an injection unit associated therewith for the simultaneous injection of the molds, two outer mold-clamping plates one of which is movably arranged on guide elements for moving in the locking direction, and a centrally disposed mold-receiving part movably arranged on guide elements between the two mold-clamping plates. The mold-receiving part is provided with a heatable melt-guiding system with sprue nozzles and has fastened to each of its two sides one half of a mold. The centrally disposed mold-receiving part is a mold-clamping plate divided crosswise relative to the locking direction, wherein the two parts are kept together by a high-speed clamping device.
