Abstract

The invention concerns an improved injection device for molding machines with a cooling chamber for casting of non-ferrous metals and alloys. It is characterized by a two-part piston, one part of which slides freely and coaxially inside the other, forming a chamber in which a gas, neutral with respect to the metal to be cast, is compressed by the forward movement of the piston by virtue of a stop-pin, then liberated and expanded at the end of injection in a container of liquid metal where it causes a balancing force effect and improves the filling of the mold. This device makes it possible to eliminate the "ramroddings" which occur in single-piston machines at the end of injection and to obtain cast products which are free of defects.
