Injection molding apparatus for the production of the form of bodies having an outer skin and a core made of thermoplastic plastic compositions

摘要

A first thermoplastic resin for forming the shell of an article is charged into the front portion of an injection cylinder and a second thermoplastic resin for forming the core of the article is charged into the rear portion of the injection cylinder. Both resins are substantially separated, being in contact only a central area of the cross-sectional plane of the injection cylinder. These thermoplastic resins are injected in a mass into a mold cavity with the second resin enveloped by the first resin, and finally solidified in the mold cavity resulting in a molded article having sandwich construction. Various sandwich articles can be obtained easily by means of a single injection molding machine. The process also allows repeated injection operations without exposure of the core material on the surface of the molded article.
