Publication number: 20120263822Abstract: A check valve for a screw is provided. The check valve includes a retainer tip, operable to be attached to a distal end of a screw shaft, the retainer tip defining at least one melt channel. A first ring is coaxially mounted to and rotationally-coupled with the retainer tip. A second ring is coaxially and slidably mounted to the retainer tip, and is operable to rotate relative to the retainer tip. The second ring is operable to reversibly move between an open position which permits melt to flow through the check valve and a closed position which prevents backflow of the melt.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2010Publication date: October 18, 2012Inventors: Christophe Halter, Peter Adrian Looije, Pierre Glaesener

Publication number: 20050287246Abstract: FIG. 3 illustrates a clamp piston assembly (40) comprising a body portion (44, 46, 48) in which a pocket is provided. The pocket is arranged to receive an insert in the form of a rotatable clamp bushing (48). Sets of blades or wear pads (52, 62) are positioned on both an internal surface (51) of the pocket and the external surface of the clamp bushing (48) and cooperate to form sealable chambers that extend about the circumference of the clamp bushing (48). These chambers are in fluid communication with suitable processor-controlled valves (82, 84) and hydraulic or pneumatic pumps (80) that operative to purge and inject fluid from and into the chambers. Pressurized fluid acting within selected chambers causes rotation of the clamp bushing (54). The insert also contains a row of teeth (58) arranged to selectively engage corresponding teeth (25, 26) in a tie-bar (19, 20).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2004Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventor: Peter Adrian Looije
