Abstract

An injection molding machine furnished with a movable display device, which will not become a hindrance to operations to be performed around the injection molding machine, requires no holding space in the injection molding machine and provides a high operating performance. A pole is set up on the side of a mold clamping unit with respect to a swivel shaft of an injection unit at the back of an injection unit, and a rocking arm, which is supported for horizontal rotation by the upper end portion of the pole, is situated close to the top face of the injection unit and bent at the middle portion thereof. The display device, which is mounted on the end portion of the swing arm on the opposite side to the pole, is movable between a retreating position over the injection unit and a working position above but away frontward from the front face of the injection unit. The display device is supported on the injection unit through a ball caster which is attached to the lower surface of the middle portion of the swing arm.
