Abstract
The present invention is a hot runner which is easier and less expensive to manufacture and which has increased capacity. The hot runner is particularly well suited for use with multi-cavity molds. The improved hot runner includes a substantially flat main body having a main melt inlet formed in a center of the main body and a plurality of drops formed in the main body. A plurality of linear distribution channels is formed in the main body with each linear distribution channel intersecting a plurality of drops. The hot runner further includes a plurality of melt channels formed in the main body and communicating with the main melt inlet and the linear distribution channels.
