Abstract
This relates to a manifold construction for multi-cavity molds. The manifold is joined to a primary sprue by a transverse supply tube which is transversely telescoped relative to an associated manifold so as to permit relative transverse movement between the supply tube and the manifold. The manifold also carries longitudinally extending delivery tubes each of which is mounted for relative longitudinal movement between the manifold and an associated cavity. The manifold is generally positioned between the supply tube and the delivery tube which permits floating of the manifold relative to the various cavities of the mold and the primary sprue.
