Abstract: A laminated plate comprising a glass layer located in front and formed from a glass sheet and a resin layer located at the back of the glass layer and molded from a molten thermoplastic material spread at a low pressure over the glass layer, the glass layer and the resin layer being arranged in a laminated fashion. A method for producing the laminated plate wherein the glass sheet is first provided so as to be in close contact with the inner side of at least either one of dies used in a compression molding machine and then the dies are clamped for compression molding, with the molten resinous material to be supplied to a mold cavity being spread at a low pressure over the glass sheet, whereby the laminated plate comprising, in a laminated fashion, the glass layer composed of the glass sheet and the resin layer molded by spreading the molten resinous material at a low pressure can be formed.

Abstract: A composite sheet material, in which at least either one of opposed surfaces is composed of a glass layer for the purpose of surface protection from scratching, can be easily produced without causing bonding defects and stress-strain. A method of such a material is also disclosed. This material comprises (a) a glass layer made of sheet glass and constituting one of the opposed surfaces of the composite sheet material; and (b) a resin layer constituting the other surface of the material and molded by applying a uniform pressure to an entire molten resinous material introduced onto the glass layer so as to be elongated, spreading over the glass layer, these glass layer and said resin layer being laminated.

Abstract: The present invention is an injection compression molding method and apparatus therefor which are capable of using a simple structure for rapidly molding a multilayer molded product with high strength and high accuracy. A molding method for attaining such characteristics includes the steps of extending an injected molten resin (51) by compressing the same in metal molds (31, 32), opening the metal molds during or after the extending operation, injecting a surface layer material (60) into a cap (.delta.) occurring between the metal molds (31, 32) and the molded resin (51) when the molds are opened, closing the molds during or after the injecting of the surface layer material (60), and cooling the resin (51) and the surface layer material (60) in the closed metal molds (31, 32).

Abstract: An injection compression molding machine (1) has a clamping unit (10) for positioning an upper mold (15) with respect to a lower mold (16), and an injection unit (30). When the upper mold (15) moves to a specified, slightly open position, a screw (61) of the injection unit (30) is advanced to start the injection of molten resin. When the screw advances to a specified position, the screw speed is decelerated to a specified speed. In addition, when the screw advances to a predetermined stop position, the screw is stopped and the injection rate of molten resin is simultaneously reduced and the molten resin is kept pressurized until the gate (71) is closed.

Abstract: A horizontal injection and compression molding apparatus has an injection device (3) and a compression molding device, wherein the compression molding device (2) includes: a stationary die plate (12) for holding a stationary die (11), a movable die plate (22) for holding a movable die (21), means (30) for rapidly extending and retracting the movable die plate (22), relative to the stationary die plate (12), means (40) for locking the movable die plate (22) to tie bars (51) at a position where the movable die plate (22) approaches the stationary die plate (12), and means (50) for fastening the dies after the movable die plate (22) is locked to the tie bars (51); and wherein the injection device (3) for feeding a molten plastic material into a mold cavity (90) between the stationary die (11) and the movable die (21) is characterized in that it initiates feeding of the molten plastic material into the mold cavity ( 90) when the stationary die (11) and the movable die (21) are parted from each other by a predeter

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement in an injection and compression molding apparatus and a method therefor which comprises the steps of supplying molten resin by injecting it into a cavity formed by molds and compressing the resin by applying pressure. In consideration of problems with respect to the occurrence of sink marks in molded products and the deterioration in precision which are caused by the escape of resin during compression and a change in the cavity distance between two molds, the present invention provides an injection and compression molding apparatus and a molding method therefor which is capable of resolving the problems and stably producing molded products with good productivity. In the present invention, a gate is closed during compression, and a supplemental amount of resin can be injected after the compression step so as to supply the desired amount of resin in the molded article.

Abstract: A molding method in an injection-compression molding machine provided with an opening/closing valve between an injection unit and a metal mold, in which in order to make a density of molten resin uniform for resulting in production of stable molded articles, before the molten resin is injected into the metal mold, the aforementioned valve is closed to carry out preliminary pressing within the injection unit, and thereafter pressing on the molten resin is carried out within the metal mold during injection or after injection, as well as a molding apparatus for achieving the above-mentioned method. This molding apparatus includes the valve (40) disposed so as to be freely opened and closed in the flow passageway (46) of the molten resin provided between the injection unit (10) and the metal mold (30) for effecting blocking or change of a cross-section area of the above-mentioned flow passageway.

Abstract: In a combined injection-molding and pressing machine according to the present invention, an injector (10a) of horizontal injection apparatus (10) is disposed below a stationary die plate (2) of a vertical press (1), an injection nozzle (10b) of the injector (10a) is formed into an L-shaped, and the injection nozzle includes a valve (10c) for opening and closing a resin passsage. Corresponding to extension and contraction of the horizontal injection apparatus (10), a base (14) of a platform (4) mounting thereon the horizontal injection apparatus (10) is allowed to slide about the injection nozzle (10), and the L-shaped injection nozzle (10b) is caused to contact with a lower mold (3) at a predetermined surface pressure. Therefore, color changing and purging of resin is more efficient and complete. No need of a hot runner permits to employ an inexpensive and versatile mold that is more widely used in common.
