  • Apparatus for coupling and uncoupling an injection valve pin
    Patent number: 8282388
    Abstract: An injection molding system comprising an actuator, a mounting plate, a mold and a manifold mounted between the mounting plate and the mold, the mounting plate being removably coupled to the mold, a valve pin comprising a pin stem and a pin connector; the actuator housing being mounted on or within the mounting plate for radial movement upon decoupling of the actuator housing from the mounting plate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2011
    Date of Patent: October 9, 2012
    Assignee: Synventive Molding Solutions, Inc.
    Inventors: Vito Galati, Paul Joseph Savoie, Albert R. Bernier

  • Method and apparatus for coupling and uncoupling an injection valve pin
    Patent number: 8091202
    Abstract: An injection molding system comprising an actuator, a mounting plate, a mold and a manifold mounted between the mounting plate and the mold, the mounting plate being removably coupled to the mold, the actuator comprising an actuating member reciprocally drivable along an axial path of travel and a housing removably coupled to the mounting plate; a valve pin coupled to the shaft of the actuator for movement of the valve pin together with movement of the actuating member, the valve pin comprising a pin stem and a pin connector; the actuator having an actuator coupling adapted to reversibly couple to and decouple from the pin connector in a radial direction relative to the axial path of travel, the pin stem extending from the actuator into the manifold when the housing of the actuator is coupled to the mounting plate and the pin connector is received within the actuator coupling; the actuator housing being mounted on or within the mounting plate for radial movement upon decoupling of the actuator housing from th
