In an injection molding device used to inject a thermoset casting resin into a mold wherein the device includes a source of resin, a mold for receiving and curing the resin, a delivery vessel for injecting the resin into the mold, and a conduit in fluid communication between the mold and the delivery vessel, the improvement being a uniquely-configured piston for injecting the resin wherein the moveable end of the piston ram is substantially cone-shaped with the vertex of the ram cone extending toward the distal end of the ram body from which the casting resin is injected through the conduit into the mold. The interior, distal end of the ram body is also substantially cone-shaped, with the vertex of the body cone extending inwardly in opposed relation to the ram cone. In addition, the improvement is characterized by the construction of the outer body of the piston from plastic and by covering the exposed surface of the ram cone with rubber, whereby static electricity is generated as the ram cone advances toward the body cone, such that gas bubbles existing within the resin will be attracted to the plastic material forming the body, away from the delivery aperture formed through the body distal end.
In a device for injecting a thermoset casting resin in a mold at ambient temperature, the device including a source of the resin, a mold for receiving and curing the resin, a delivery vessel for injecting the resin into the mold, and a conduit in fluid communication between the mold and the delivery vessel, wherein the improvement comprises said delivery vessel defined by a piston, said piston comprising an outer body and a movable ram operatively disposed for reciprocal movement within said outer body, said outer body being formed from a plastic material and comprising a body distal end having an aperture formed therethrough in fluid-communicating relation to the conduit;
