Abstract
This invention provides a single core pin for use with a mold that may be rearranged to provide a plurality of molded configurations. The core pin is characterized by a plurality of arcuate segments 11 arranged to make up a cylindrical core pin 10. On at least one of the arcuate segments 11 there is along the outer surface thereof at least one radial projection 12 extending a predetermined axial distance along the surface.
Claims9
A core pin for use with a mold for making a plastic connector shell having at least two keyways, said core pin comprising:
- a plurality of arcuate segments arranged to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a radical projection along the outer surface of at least two of said segments whereby each rearrangement of said segments having said projection results in a different outer configuration of said cylindrical body, said radial projection extending an axial distance along said surface.
A core pin for use with a mold for making a plastic connector shell having at least two keyways, said core pin comprising:
- a plurality of annular segments arranged to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a radial projection along the outer surface of at least two of said segments, said radial projection extending an axial distance being said surface.
A mold for producing articles having internal keyways, comprising:
- a first mold section having a cavity for forming articles;
- a second mold section mounted to the first mold section, said mold sections being movable relative to one another, said second mold section comprising:
- a core member for said cavity, said core member comprised of a plurality of arcuate segments and means for mounting said arcuate segments to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a radial projection along the outer surface of at least two of said segments whereby each rearrangement of said segements having said projection results in a different outer configuration of said cylindrical body, said radial projection extending an axial distance along said surface.
A core pin for use with a mold for making a plastic connector shell having at least two keys, said core pin comprising:
- a plurality of arcuate segments arranged to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a recess in the outer surface of at least two of said segments whereby each rearrangement of said segments having said recess results in a different outer configuration of said cylindrical body, said recess extending an axial distance along said surface.
A core pin for use with a mold for making a plastic connector shell having at least two keys, said core pin comprising:
- a plurality of annular segments arranged to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a recess in the outer surface of at least two of said segments whereby each rearrangement of said segments having said recess results in a different outer configuration of said cylindrical body, said recess extending an axial distance along said surface.
