Abstract

A thin type injection molding skin manufacturing apparatus in which a mold movable part moves to be separated from a mold fixing part at a time of taking out a skin to open a mold, may include a holder part cavity for molding a holder part formed integrally with the skin, which is formed inside the mold fixing part and a fixing part slider capable of elastically pressing the holder part molded in the holder part cavity installed on the end of the holder part cavity, and as a result, the fixing part slider presses and holds the holder part molded integrally with the skin when the mold movable part moves to be separated from the mold fixing part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A thin type injection molding skin manufacturing apparatus in which a mold movable part moves to be separated from a mold fixing part at a time of taking out a skin to open a mold,
wherein a holder part cavity for molding a holder part formed integrally with the skin is formed inside the mold fixing part and a fixing part slider elastically pressing the holder part molded in the holder part cavity installed on an end of the holder part cavity, and as a result, the fixing part slider presses and holds the holder part molded integrally with the skin when the mold movable part moves to be separated from the mold fixing part.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fixing part slider is mounted on the end of the holder part cavity via a holder part pressing spring to be elastically supported, the fixing part slider moves by force to pull the fixing part slider in a direction to compress the holder part pressing spring to form a space in which an injection resin is charged therebelow during molding the holder part, and when force to pull the fixing part slider is removed in the direction to compress the holder part pressing spring when molding the holder part is completed, the fixing part slider returns in a direction to press the holder part by elastic restoration force of the holder part pressing spring.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a grip part cavity for molding the grip part formed integrally with the skin is formed inside the mold movable part and a movable part slider forming a finger hole at the center of the grip part molded in the grip part cavity is installed at a side of the grip part cavity, and as a result, the mold movable part moves to be separated from the mold fixing part and thereafter, the skin is separated and taken out from the mold fixing part by gripping the grip part through the finger hole.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the movable part slider is elastically supported to be seated on the center of the grip part cavity via a grip part return spring, an injection resin is charged in the grip part cavity on which the movable part slider is seated to mold the grip part having the finger hole, and when force to pull a movable part slider is applied in a direction to compress the grip part return spring when molding the grip part is completed, the movable part slider is removed form the grip part cavity to take out the grip part molded in the grip part cavity.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mold movable part has a protrusion inserted into the holder part cavity of the mold fixing part at a time of closing the mold by moving the mold movable part to the mold fixing part and the protrusion has a smaller diameter than the holder part cavity to form a residual space, in which an injection resin is configured to be charged between the protrusion and the holder part cavity at a time of inserting the protrusion into the holder part cavity.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fixing part slider is installed to linearly move into a slider mounted part that extends on the end of the holder part cavity and an O-ring for preventing the resin from being leaked is mounted on an outer surface of the fixing part slider adjacent to the slider mounted part to be elastically supported.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the movable part slider is installed to linearly move into the slider mounted part that extends to the center of the grip part cavity and an O-ring for preventing the resin from being leaked is mounted on an outer surface of the movable part slider adjacent to the slider mounted part to be elastically supported.

8. A skin taking out method using a thin type injection molding skin manufacturing apparatus that molds a skin by charging an injection resin in a skin cavity between a mold movable part and a mold fixing part and opens a mold by moving the mold movable part to be separated from the mold fixing part at a time of taking out a skin, the method including:
forming a holder part formed integrally with the skin in a holder part cavity of the mold fixing part linked with the skin cavity,
forming a grip part having a finger hole which is integrally formed with the skin in the grip part cavity of the mold movable part linked with the skin cavity and used to separate the skin from the mold fixing part,
pressing the holder part by a fixing part slider mounted on an end of the holder part cavity to be elastically supported and holding the holder part into the holder part cavity, and
removing a movable part slider for forming the finger hole of the grip part from the grip part cavity to take out the grip part from the grip part cavity.

9. The method of claim 8 , further including:
opening the mold by moving the mold movable part to be separated from the mold fixing part,
hanging and fastening a finger of taking out device to the finger hole of the grip part molded integrally with the skin attached to the mold fixing part, and
removing the skin from the mold fixing part by pulling the grip art fastened to the finger of the taking out device.
