FLEX PLATE FOR GUIDING DEVICE OF INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033983 titled 'FLEX PLATE FOR GUIDING DEVICE OF INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a flex plate for a guiding device of an injection molding machine. The flex plate has a body with a front surface, back surface, top surface, and bottom surface. It includes through holes for aligning the flex plate with the foot of the guiding device and guide shoe holes for coupling the flex plate to the guide shoe. A front plate couples the front surface of the flex plate to the foot of the guiding device, and slots define a central portion of the flex plate. The central portion of the flex plate is elastically deformable and can pivot relative to the guide shoe and foot of the guiding device.

  • The flex plate is designed to be used in a guiding device of an injection molding machine.
  • It has a body with various surfaces and features such as through holes and guide shoe holes.
  • The through holes are used to align the flex plate with the foot of the guiding device.
  • The guide shoe holes are used to couple the flex plate to the guide shoe.
  • A front plate is used to connect the front surface of the flex plate to the foot of the guiding device.
  • The flex plate has a central portion that is elastically deformable and can pivot relative to the guide shoe and foot of the guiding device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Injection molding machines: The flex plate can be used in the guiding device of injection molding machines to improve the precision and flexibility of the molding process.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Misalignment: The through holes in the flex plate help align it with the foot of the guiding device, ensuring proper positioning and reducing misalignment issues.
  • Flexibility and pivotability: The elastically deformable central portion of the flex plate allows it to pivot relative to the guide shoe and foot of the guiding device, providing flexibility in the molding process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved precision: The flex plate helps in aligning the guiding device, resulting in improved precision in the injection molding process.
  • Flexibility: The elastically deformable central portion of the flex plate allows for flexibility and adaptability in the molding process, accommodating different requirements and variations.
  • Ease of installation: The through holes and guide shoe holes facilitate easy installation and alignment of the flex plate in the guiding device.


Original Abstract Submitted

a flex plate for a guiding device of an injection molding machine includes a body extending between a front surface, a back surface, a top surface, and a bottom surface. a plurality of through holes extend between the top surface and the bottom surface for aligning the flex plate with a foot of the guiding device, and a plurality of guide shoe holes formed in the bottom surface of the flex plate couple the flex plate to a guide shoe of the guiding device. a front plate couples the front surface of the flex plate to the foot of the guiding device, and a plurality of slots define a central portion of the flex plate. the central portion of the flex plate is elastically deformable about a torsional axis and can pivot relative to the guide shoe and foot of the guiding device.
