Abstract
An apparatus for injection molding a product having a partly thin portion includes a molding die including a male die and a female die for defining a cavity having a volume larger than a volume of the product. A gate is provided to permit molten resin material from an injection molding machine to be injected into the cavity. A slide block disposed in either the male die or the female die has in cross section a dimension corresponding to a dimension of the thin portion of the product. The slide block is movable between a retracted position where the volume of the cavity is substantially maintained and an advanced position to project into the cavity to form the thin portion. A drive is provided for moving the slide block to the advanced position before the resin material injected into the cavity is solidified. A hollow space formed in the molding die and communicating with the cavity permits an excess of the resin material to be discharged from the cavity into the hollow space during the advance of the slide block. A closure member is fitted in the hollow space for normally closing the same and is coupled to a spring for urging the closure member to the retracted position and a power…
