Tandem Mold For Creating Injection-Molded Parts From Synthetic Material

Patent No. EP3131729 (titled "Tandem Mold For Creating Injection-Molded Parts From Synthetic Material") was filed by Plastisud on Nov 27, 2014. The application was issued on Nov 28, 2018.

Patent Summary

A tandem injection mold for synthetic materials comprises first, second, and third portions with guide means enabling relative displacement of the first and second portions against the third. Two parting surfaces are defined: one between the first and third portions, and another between the second and third portions. The mold transitions between an open position (portions spaced) and a closed position (portions in contact). Each parting surface features at least one mechanical stop movable between an active position, which prevents full closure to maintain a predetermined spacing for compression injection, and a retracted position, allowing full closure. Stops may be implemented as jacks, screw-nut assemblies (potentially synchronized via inverted threads), movable wedges, or components within mold stacks.
