Mold laminate assembly for an injection mold machine

In an injection mold apparatus for selectively molding one of a plurality of different molded parts, including:

• a mold frame, an A-side frame coupled to said mold frame, and a B-side frame coupled to said mold frame;
• a first mold body having a first mold cavity therein, and a second mold body having a second mold cavity therein, said second mold body being selectably movable with respect to said first mold body to a first position where said second mold cavity is in communication with said first mold cavity and to a second position where said second mold cavity is spaced from said first mold cavity, both said first and second mold bodies being split along a part line so that each has a portion on one side of said part line coupled to said A-side frame and another portion on the other side of said part line coupled to said B-side frame, one of said A-side frame and B-side frame being a movable frame arranged to move in a direction toward said part line into a closed position wherein respective portions of said first and second mold bodies are in mutual mated engagement, and in an opposite direction away from said part line to an open position wherein said respective portions are separated,
• a mold laminate assembly arranged in said second mold body comprising:
• (a) a plurality of mold laminates each of which includes a first end having mold features extending into said second mold cavity, an opposite second end, and an intermediate shank between said first and second ends;
• and
• (b) a mounting frame having an opening defined by two side walls and two end walls, said opening having a width for closely receiving said second end of each of said laminates with no appreciable lateral play, and said opening having a length for closely receiving said second ends of said plurality of laminates with no appreciable end to end play, said laminates being stacked side by side to form an array of laminates within said opening.
