SCHLIESSEINHEIT AN SPRITZGIESSMASCHINEN

The machines concerned are for the injection-moulding of plastic parts, having a platen for the mould, which platen is guided movably on tie bars between fixed end plates, as well as a mould closing mechanism, in particular a hydraulically operated toggle-lever mechanism, and having ejector elements for the workpieces when the mould is open, which elements pass through the platen in the direction of movement and are longitudinally moveable in relation to the platen. In order to improve a closing unit for such machines, simplifying the ejector mechanism and its drive and considerably increasing the opening stroke, it is proposed that the mould closing mechanism (6) rests on a locking plate (14) which is arranged between the platen (5) and the end plate (2), parallel thereto, is guided on the tie bars and on which the ejector elements (9) are fastened. It is also proposed that the distance between the platen (5) and the locking plate (14) can be set, at least in two end positions.
