ABSTRACT:
A method and associated apparatus for the injection molding of plastic articles of enhanced surface quality using fluid pressure. The method involves the initial step of injecting molten plastic at a nominal injection pressure from an injection molding machine through a flow path to a mold cavity defining the shape of the molded article. A charge of fluid pressurized at a predetermined level no greater than the nominal plastic injection pressure is communicated to the plastic flow path through an orifice of sufficiently small dimension to resist entry of the molten plastic against the pressure of the fluid charge. The pressurized charge of fluid responds to a reduction of the pressure in the plastic flow path below the predetermined level upon substantial completion of plastic injection and enters the flow path and passes into the mold cavity. The fluid is contained within the mold cavity under pressure until the article has set up, and is thereafter vented to atmosphere.
