Abstract: The mold clamping device is provided with a first platen to which a stationary mold is attached. A movable mold unit is capable of approaching and moving away from the stationary mold. A second platen is linked to the first platen via a tie bar. When the movable mold unit and the stationary mold are closed, a wedge member is driven onto the movable mold unit to generate mold clamping force. The second platen has a pressure receiving surface. The pressure receiving surface receives, through the wedge member, mold opening force that is generated by filling, with a molding material, the stationary mold and the movable mold unit that are in the closed state.

Abstract: The injection apparatus is provided with a high speed step cylinder, a pressure accumulation part and a coupling mechanism. The high speed step cylinder has a rod and an operating chamber. The coupling mechanism is capable of switching between a coupled state in which the movement of the rod is restricted, and a non-coupled state in which the coupled state is released so as to enable the rod to move due to the operating pressure. The coupling mechanism includes a first coupling member, a second coupling member and a drive source. The coupling mechanism is kept in the coupled state in which the second coupling member is rotated to less than 90°. When the second coupling member is forced to rotate in the coupled state, the first coupling member rotates such that a first contact surface is in contact with a second contact surface.

Abstract: An injection apparatus includes an actuating cylinder, an accommodating chamber, and a volume changing part capable of changing the volume of the accommodating chamber. The actuating cylinder has an operation chamber and a piston accommodated in the operation chamber, and supplies an incompressible fluid to the injection cylinder by forcing out the incompressible fluid inside the operation chamber with the piston. The accommodating chamber is connected to the operation chamber, and holds at least some of the incompressible fluid that flows out from the operation chamber due to the piston being pushed out. The volume changing part expands the volume of the accommodating chamber, at the latest simultaneously with the start of acceleration of the actuating cylinder, and stops the expansion of the volume when the operating speed of the piston of the actuating cylinder has reached a desired speed.
