Abstract
An injection molding machine is illustrated with tie bars extending from a stationary die plate. A movable die plate is slidably movable along the tie bars. Corrugated elastic sleeves cover the tie bars and are seated at opposite ends on the die plates to keep molded parts from contacting the tie bars when the mold is open and thereby protect the molded parts from contamination by lubricant on the tie bars. In the embodiment shown, the corrugated sleeve is made of plastic material and is split longitudinally to facilitate assembly. The split sleeve construction enables the sleeves to be assembled sidewise onto the tie bars, and held snugly onto the bars by wires or cable ties.
Claims7
In a resin molding machine including tie bars extending from a stationary die plate supporting a stationary mold section, a movable die plate supporting a movable mold section and being movable along the tie bars between a closed position in which the mold sections are closed against one another and an open position in which the mold sections are spaced apart sufficiently to release molded parts, the improvement comprising apparatus for preventing molded parts from contamination by lubricant during ejection from the mold sections, said apparatus comprising:
- axially elastically compressible sleeves each enclosing a corresponding tie bar and seated and sealed at opposite ends on the stationary and movable die plates respectively.
