Mold for producing moldings from a plastic compound

A mold for producing moldings from a plastic compound, comprising

• an intermediate mold part having two mold part members disposed side by side on a mold axis,
• a pair of outer mold parts on opposite sides of the intermediate mold part, each outer mold part defining a mold cavity jointly with the adjacent face of the adjacent mold part member, one of the outer mold parts having a feed channel for the plastic compound,
• means mounting the outer and intermediate mold parts for relative movement of the outer mold parts and the mold part members along the mold axis between a closed position in which confronting faces of the mold part members engage one another and each outer mold part engages the adjacent one of the mold part members and an open position in which the mold part members are spread apart from one another and from the outer mold parts,
• means on said confronting faces of the mold part members defining a feed cavity, which in the closed position of the mold communicates with the feed channel of said one outer mold part, and sections of runner channels extending from the feed cavity to the mold cavities,
• an extractor positioned centrally of the mold part members, the extractor in the closed position of the mold extending into the feed cavity so as to become surrounded by the plastic compound introduced into the mold through the feed channel, and
• means mounting the extractor for movement with respect to the mold part members in a direction parallel to the mold axis.
