Patent number: 7041247Abstract: In an injection compression-molding apparatus, a molded article is produced by setting molds 10 and 11 to an intermediate clamped state, and then by setting the molds 10 and 11 to a final clamped state by re-clamping the molds 10 and 11 to each other after injecting melted resin into a cavity defined by the molds 10 and 11. The apparatus includes a clamping mechanism and a parallelism retaining mechanism 20. The clamping mechanism has a mold-driving cylinder 7 for moving the movable mold 10 toward and away from the fixed mold 11, a guide engaging member 8, support panels 4, 5, etc. so as to selectively set the molds 10 and 11 to the intermediate clamped state and the final clamped state. The parallelism retaining mechanism 20 retains parallelism between the molds 10 and 11 in the intermediate clamped state by giving a corrective force to mold attaching surfaces of the clamping mechanism where the respective molds 10 and 11 are mounted.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho, Teijin Chemicals, Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Nagaoka, Toshiaki Hotaka

Patent number: 6777084Abstract: A molded product consisting of a skin layer and a core layer is obtained by injecting a skin layer resin and a core layer resin from a skin injection unit 13 and a core injection unit 12 into metal molds 8, 9, respectively. The skin layer resin injection pressure by the skin injection unit 13 and the core layer resin injection pressure by the core injection unit 12 are controlled in such a manner that a volumetrically reduced quantity at the time of cooling and solidifying the skin layer resin is compensated so as not to generate defects such as hollows and the like in the molded product. It is characterized in that the state the core dwelling pressure is higher than the skin dwelling pressure over a predetermined length of time.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel, Ltd.)Inventor: Tsutomu Nagaoka
