Abstract

A method of injection moulding which consists in injecting molten thermoplastic polymer material into a cavity having walls defined by at least two separable mould parts, allowing the thermoplastic polymer material to cool and solidify in the cavity in a cooling phase, separating the mould parts and extracting the solidified material characterized in that one of the mould parts is capable of movement relative to the other mould parts with which it defines the walls of the said cavity and in a direction away from and towards the cavity and in that the injecttion of molten thermoplastic polymer material is continued until the movable mould part is caused to move to a position away from the cavity by pressure created in the cavity by the injection thereinto of thermoplastic polymer material and wherein as the thermoplastic polymer material in the cavity undergoes shrinkage on cooling the movable mould part is caused to move towards the cavity thus maintaining contact with the injected material in the cavity. The method makes use of a moulding tool comprising at least one cavity (3) defined by at least two separable tool parts (4, 5) characterized in that one of the tool parts (5) is movable relative to the other tool parts with which it defines the cavity (3) and in a direction away from and towards the cavity (3) and in that the moulding tool also comprises resilient urging means (9) which exert pressure on the movable tool part to urge the said part (5) towards the cavity (3), the movable tool part (5) being movable away from the cavity (3), during operation of the moulding tool, by pressure created in the cavity (3) by the continued injection thereinto of molten polymer after the filling of the cavity (3).
