Abstract

An assembly for compression molding includes an insert housing defining a plurality of apertures having stop surfaces. The assembly includes a plurality of inserts disposed within the apertures and in engagement with the stop surfaces. The assembly further includes a plurality of gas springs in biased engagement with the inserts. Individual gas springs of the plurality of gas springs are adapted to independently compress under load to permit independent movement of individual inserts within the apertures relative to the insert housing.
