Abstract
A process for producing closed or open hollow parts of molded synthetic resin material in which a core (12) or mold body which extends into the mold cavity and is attached to a form element and supported on other form elements is situated between two mold half-shells. The core is supported by one or more movable stops (13-18) which can be retracted from the mold cavity. Plastic is injected into the mold via a first injection channel (22) with the core retained in position by the stops (13-18). Subsequently the retaining stops (13-18) are retracted and the mold cavity is completely filled via a second injection channel (23, 24, 25).
Claims7
An injection molding form for producing a hollow body of synthetic resin material, said form comprising first and second mold parts defining a mold cavity between them, a core disposed in said mold cavity, at least one retractable stop supporting said core in said mold cavity, said stop being retractable out of said mold cavity, and at least one first injection passage for injecting the synthetic resin material into said mold cavity and at least one second injection passage for injecting synthetic resin material into said mold cavity after said stop is retracted out of said mold cavity.
A process for molding a hollow body of synthetic resin material, said process comprising the steps of:
- supporting a core in a mold cavity of an injection molding machine by at least one retractable stop;
- partially filling the mold cavity with synthetic resin material by injecting the synthetic resin material into said mold cavity through at least one first injection passage until said core is supported by the injected material;
- retracting said at least one retractable stop from the mold cavity so that said core is supported solely by the injected material;
- and
- thereafter completely filling said mold cavity with the synthetic resin material by injecting the synthetic resin material into said mold cavity through at least one second injection passage.
