Abstract
A co-injection molding apparatus may mold an injection product that includes a skin layer forming an outer surface by a first material and a core layer surrounded by the skin layer and having an interior formed by a second material. The co-injection molding apparatus may include an injection mold configured to form an injection space to be injection molded by the first material and the second material, a first injector configured to inject the first material, a second injector configured to inject the second material different from the first material and positioned between the first injector and the injection mold, and a runner configured to connect the first injector, the second injector, and the injection mold.

A co-injection molding apparatus to mold an injection product that includes a skin layer to form an outer surface and a core layer having an interior to be surrounded by the skin layer, the skin layer to be formed by a first material, and the core layer to be formed by a second material, the co-injection molding apparatus comprising:
- an injection mold configured to be injection molded by the first material and the second material, and to provide the injection product;
- a runner configured to provide the first material and the second material to the injection mold;
- a first injector configured to inject the first material to the runner;
- a second injector configured to inject the second material, different from the first material, to the runner and the second injector provided between the first injector and the injection mold,
- wherein the runner includes:
- a runner main body configured to connect to the first injector and to the second injector,
- a bypass runner configured to connect the second injector and the injection mold, and including at least one bend so as to increase a retention amount of the first material, and
- a backflow prevention part formed on the runner main body between the first injector and the second injector, and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the runner main body.
