  • Patent number: 6821111
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards the hybrid combination of a drop gate injection molding system and a lattice gate. The lattice gate is located prior to the orifice of the drop gate. The lattice gate is comprised of a series of cross-direction flow channels through which the rubber flows, with mixing of the rubbers at the intersections of the flow channels. This hybrid molding system permits shorter cure times, and improved process cycle time for curing rubbers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2004
    Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
