ABSTRACT:
A collapsible core and molding apparatus and method for molding a plastic article having an undercut and a non-undercut portion. The collapsible core includes a center core pin and a core sleeve about the core pin and with the core pin having a small plurality of alternating, uniform, narrow, non-collapsing segments secured to the center pin and the same plurality of uniform, alternating, wider, arcuate, collapsing segments secured to the core sleeve, the wide collapsible segments adapted to move between the non-collapsed segments to form the expanded position for a molding operation where the wide segments are separated by the narrower segments, and a collapsed position where the collapsible segments collapse radially inward on the axial withdrawal of the center pin to form a generally cylindrical, cross section, arcuate area and to permit the ejection of a small molded plastic article from the mold.
