Means Include Single Material Inlet Communicating With Plural Cavities Patents (Class 249/110)
  • Patent number: 4133371
    Abstract: A mould assembly for producing multiple castings in which a plurality of mould components are closely arranged together in an array and define a plurality of mould cavities. At the base of the array there is provided a regularly shaped space which communicates with each of the individual mould cavities via a runner passage and thus molten metal admitted to the space fills each of the mould cavities simultaneously leading to uniform properties in all the castings. The individual mould components are preferably injected moulded in a ceramic material.

  • Patent number: 4126292
    Abstract: A mold die including two or more cavities shaped to profile the configuration of mold products, a pot serving as a lead-in portion for resin of a tablet-form, or a sprue serving as a lead-in portion for molten resin, a runner leading to the pot or sprue, and gates branching from the runner and leading to respective cavities, the aforesaid gates having given convergent slopes at their exits to the cavities. The cross-sectional area of the runner is progressively decreased in the direction away from the pot or sprue, and the convergent slopes of the gates are progressively increased in the direction away from the pot or sprue, in a manner that the sum of a pressure drop in a runner portion and a pressure drop in a gate portion may be made equal for each of the cavities, thereby minimizing a difference in timing of resin to arrive respective cavities, and rendering the velocity of resin flowing into respective cavities equal to one another.

  • Patent number: 4023770
    Abstract: A transfer structure for a stacked injection molding die comprising:Two transfer tubes connected to a stack molding die and connected together by a knuckle joint so that molten plastic can flow from the runner in one of the parts of the stack molding die through the transfer tubes to the other dies, yet allow the die members to move freely toward and away from each other.
