摘要:
There is provided a structure for positioning a first mold part of a mold on a mold mounting face in an injection molding machine. The structure comprises a positioner configured to connect the first mold part to part of the injection molding machine, wherein the positioner is adjustable to position the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner is configured to perform one or more of: (i) lift and lower the first mold part across the mold mounting face, (ii) laterally shift the first mold part across the mold mounting face, and (iii) rotate the first mold part on the mold mounting face. The positioner includes a plurality of positioners configured to connect the first mold part with the injection molding machine, wherein the plurality of positioners are selectively operable to coordinate positioning of the first mold part on the mold mounting face.

There is provided a retaining member (130) for use in a mold ( 100), the retaining member (130) for distributing load applied thereto in a first direction. The retaining member (130) comprises a first contact (204) for abutting in use a first mold element of the mold (100); a second contact (206) for abutting in use a second mold element of the mold (100); a compensating member (207) intermediate the first contact (204) and the second contact (206); an interface (222, 224) for maintaining a floating arrangement the retaining member (130) to a third element of the mold (100); the compensating member (207) providing for spring-like effect such that the retaining member (130) provides substantially equal load distribution throughout substantially its whole longitudinal extent, when in use.
