Patent number: 5454709Abstract: An injection-moulding machine with a movable and a stationary mould-clamping plate (1, 2), wherein struts (4) are mounted in the stationary mould-clamping plate (1, 2), the struts connecting together the movable and stationary mould-clamping plates (1, 2) during the injection operation. The movable mould-clamping plate (2) is able to travel on rails (9) by way of a bracket-like running shoe (14), and, on opening the mould, is able to be released from the struts (4). Carriages (17) with rollers (18) are provided which are pivotally mounted to the movable mould-clamping plate (2) and which are tiltable about a horizontal axis (19) relative to the mould-clamping plate (2) and relative to the running shoes (14). Each running shoe (14) has a front roller (15) which can be raised from the rails (9) and lateral guide rollers (20) with vertical axes of rotation which roll down smooth guide surfaces (30) of the rails (9) and which are likewise raised from the rails (9) during the injection operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1994Date of Patent: October 3, 1995Assignee: Engel Maschinenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Heinrich Leonhartsberger, Werner Kappelmuller, Stefan Eppich

Patent number: 5345766Abstract: An arrangement for carrying out a two-stage linear movement with a stationary and a movable constructional unit, comprises a hydraulic cylinder and an hydraulic piston preferably in the form of a plunger. The hydraulic piston has a hollow volume which houses a plunger piston which, in turn, rests on a spindle rotated by a servomotor in the movable construct-ional unit. The plunger piston can be displaced axially in the hydraulic piston and also in the hydraulic cylinder by use of the spindle.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1993Date of Patent: September 13, 1994Assignee: Engel Maschinenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Heinz Leonhartsberger, Stefan Eppich, Werner Kappelmuller

Patent number: 5249951Abstract: In an injection molding machine having a machine frame, a stationary mold mounting plate, a movable mold mounting plate and a support portion on the machine frame, which carries a mold closing mechanism, the support portion and the stationary mold mounting plate are connected exclusively by way of the machine frame. The closing force which occurs during the closing phase and the expansion force which occurs during injection, as between the support portion and the stationary mold mounting plate, are carried only by way of the machine frame. The mold mounting plates are mounted tiltably about a respective horizontal axis while a guide means is provided between the two mold mounting plates or the movable mold mounting plate and the machine frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1991Date of Patent: October 5, 1993Assignee: Engel Maschinenbau Gesellschaft m.b.H.Inventors: Heinz Leonhartsberger, Helmut Naderhirn, Werner Kappelmuller, Otto Urbanek
