ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for injection molding thin-walled plastic articles. The apparatus includes a mold cavity and a mold core defining a cavity space in the shape of the article. The cavity space has a circumferentially extending region having a thickness greater than the thickness of a sidewall defining portion. This circumferentially extending region is preferably located at the approximate mid-point of the sidewall defining portion. At least two gates directly and simultaneously introduce plastic material initially into the circumferentially extending portion in a manner so as to minimize the creation of side loads and core shift. After the circumferentially extending region is filled, the plastic material fills the entire cavity space. The plastic material is thereafter cooled to form the desired article.
