Benefits of technology

[0008] The present invention is a universal slide assembly for a molding or casting systems used to introduce complex designs to moldings and castings. The present invention comprises a base, a slide inserted onto the base such that the slide is mobile relative to the base, and a cam lever that is insertable through the slide and the base. The base is directly insertable into a movable-die half or fixed-die half for immediate use without requiring the slide to be individually designed or adapted to a particular movable-die half or fixed-die half.
[0009] In addition, the cam lever also is capable of moving the slide relative to the base through a cam action. When the cam lever is fully inserted into the slide and the base, the cam lever prevents the slide from moving relative to the base. However, when the cam lever is removed, it moves the slide relative to the base through a cam action. The cam lever is capable of moving the slide towards and away from a core without the use of hydraulic power. Therefore, the present invention is a universal design that is cost effective, easy to install, and easy to operate with injection molding or die casting processes.

Problems solved by technology

This results in a hole within the molding or casting.
Such individualization of the slides is expensive and time consuming.
This can be especially troublesome if a particular slide is defective or damaged during molding or casting cycles.
This is also very time consuming and tedious, taking up time that otherwise could be used for operating the system.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of universal slide assembly 22 and die block D, illustrating the ease of use and installation of universal slide assembly 22. FIG. 1 is an exploded view that illustrates universal slide assembly 22 positioned above die block D. FIG. 2 illustrates universal slide assembly 22 mounted to die block D for use with injection molding or die casting processes. Universal slide assembly 22 is a universal design that includes base 24, slide 26, cam lever 28, and pin 30. Die block D in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a movable-die half and includes mounting slot M and core C. Mounting slot M includes block slot B. Core C is a portion of the core or cavity in die block D where plastic or molten metal is injected for curing or solidification.

[0044] In addition to the components illustrated, FIGS. 1 and 2 also incorporate a fixed-die half (not shown), to which die block D is clamped, enclosing core C to create the complete molding or casting core. Alternatively, die blo...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] Priority is claimed under U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 413,992, entitled Universal Slide Assembly for Molding and Casting Systems, and filed Sep. 26, 2002, which is incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to injection molding and die casting processes. In particular, the present invention relates to injection molding and die casting slide systems. [0003] Injection molding and die casting are manufacturing processes for producing a multitude of shapes and designs for plastic and metal products. Such processes generally incorporate two-component systems. The two components are the fixed-die half and the movable-die half. The fixed-die half is secured to the apparatus and contains a portion of a core or core where plastic or molten metal is injected into for curing or solidification. [0004] In contrast, the movable-die half is capable of moving, and contains the other portion of t...
