A valve gate assembly comprises a piston that is actuable between a forward position and a rear position and has a piston stop surface and a forward pressure surface. A cylinder has a cylinder stop surface that is disposed to contact the piston stop surface when the piston is in the forward position. The cylinder stop surface is radially outward of at least a portion of the forward pressure surface and a shutoff pin is substantially aligned with the axis.

A multi-stage filter for filtering injection molding melt includes an elongate filter element having a filter inlet end, a filter outlet end and a plurality of filter stages axially disposed on the element and adjoining each other. Each filter stage includes a plurality of axial filter grooves in its outer surface which are spaced apart from a filter chamber wall to define a distinct filter clearance for each filter stage. The axial filter grooves are circumferentially spaced apart from each other and alternate with axial grooves axially extending between adjoining filter stages which define melt transfer passages to transfer melt between filter stages.

The valve pin adjustment system is provided for use in valve gated injection molding applications which enables adjustments to the positioning of the valve pin without necessitating removal of the clamping plates and valve assembly components, including valve pins. A piston associated with the valve pin includes a cylindrical body having first and second co-axially aligned internally threaded bores of respective first and second diameters. Preferably, the threads formed in the first and second bores are of the opposite hand. First and second externally-threaded cylindrical valve pin positioning members are respectively received in the first and second bores. Each of the positioning members includes a head portion and a tip portion. The tip of the second positioning member is in contact with the head of the first positioning member to lock the first positioning member in place, and the tip of the first positioning member is in contact with a head portion on the valve pin to locate the valve pin.

A sprue bushing with an integral casing construction which as improved heat transfer characteristics and a method of making the same are described. A cylindrical bushing body having a first, preselected uniform diameter has a cavity formed therein which axially extends within the bushing body for a predetermined length. A bushing inner core which is integral with the bushing casing is formed in the cavity and extends between the two ends of the bushing body. One or more heating elements in the form of coil heaters may be inserted into the bushing body cavity and a thermally conductive material is deposited into the cavity to fill the remainder of the cavity. When filled, the bushing body is heated to melt the thermally conductive material around the heating element(s) to form a unified heater assembly in the annular cavity. A melt runner passage is then drilled through the inner core.

A sprue bushing which eliminates melt leakage and a method of making the same are described. A cylindrical bushing body having a first, preselected uniform diameter has an annular cavity formed therein which axially extends within the bushing body for a predetermined length and which separates the bushing inner core from the bushing body. A heating element in the form of a ceramic insulator sleeve is inserted into the annular cavity and a particulate refractory material is deposited into the annular cavity to fill the remainder of the annular cavity. When filled, the bushing body is swaged down to a second preselected uniform diameter to compact the powdered refractory together with the preformed sleeve to form a solid heating element. A runner passage is then drilled through the inner core so that the inner core is integral with the bushing casing.

An injection molding nozzle is disclosed in which the body has a front end and a central bore terminating at the front end, the front end receiving a needle assembly. The needle assembly has an outer retaining piece adapted to be removeably secured to the front end of the body. The inner piece of the needle assembly is adapted to be received within the outer retaining piece and includes a gating needle that extends through the central opening of the outer retaining piece so as to be in close proximity to the gate of the mold cavity. In one aspect of the invention, the gating needle has a central cylindrical portion with an outer surface that is spaced from the outer retaining piece and at least one melt passageway whose exit is located asymmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the gating needle. In a second aspect, the melt passageway extends linearly and asymmetrically through the gating needle.

An internally heated injection molding nozzle has a unitary head portion and body portion. The nozzle has opposed, generally planar, lateral faces and front and back sides. A melt passageway is defined by a bore extending through the head portion and body portion, and a heater core is received in an elongated cavity that is in generally parallel alignment with, and spaced from, the melt passageway.

A sprue bushing which has improved heat transfer characteristics and a method of making the same are described. A cylindrical bushing body having a first, preselected uniform diameter has a cavity formed therein which axially extends within the bushing body for a predetermined length. A bushing inner core which has an outer layer or sleeve of a high heat conductive material is formed in the cavity extending between the two ends of the bushing body. A heating element in the form of a ceramic insulator sleeve is inserted into the bushing body cavity and a particulate refractory material is deposited into the cavity to fill the remainder of the cavity. When filled, the bushing body is swaged down to a second preselected uniform diameter to compact the powdered refractory together with the preformed sleeve to form a solid heating element. A runner passage is then drilled through the inner core.
