Abstract
An injection molding apparatus in which a hot-runner mold is moved with respect to the injection nozzle of an injection unit is disclosed. In a position in which the injection nozzle comes into contact is provided a first fixed link with a runner formed therein. A second fixed link with a runner formed therein is fixed to the hot-runner mold, and moves integrally with the hot-runner mold. Between these links is provided an intermediate runner block system, with runners formed therein. The intermediate runner block system is constructed from a first intermediate link supported rotatably by the first fixed link and a second intermediate link supported rotatably by the second fixed link, and these two intermediate links are also rotatably coupled together. This plurality of links forms a link construction, so that regardless of the movement of the hot-runner mold the resin path between the injection nozzle and the hot-runner mold is maintained.
