Abstract:
1. An injection molding machine comprising: a first die and a second die; a driving mechanism configured to move the second die between a first position where the second die is in contact with the first die and a second position where the second die is separate from the first die; a holder configured to hold a film for in-mold printing such that the film is located between the first die and the second die, the film comprising metallic sheets used for covering a surface of a molded product on a face opposed to the second die; and an electrical discharge mechanism located inside a depression depressed from a parting line face of the second die and movable between a contact position where the electrical discharge mechanism is in contact with the metallic sheets and a retracted position where the electrical discharge mechanism is retracted from between the first and second dies, wherein the first die comprises a pin to be pushed against the electrical discharge mechanism, the electrical discharge mechanism comprises a support shaft, a main body rotatable relative to the support shaft, and a receiving portion being integral with the main body and extending in a different direction from that of the main body, and the receiving portion is rotated and moves the main body to the retracted position when the pin pushes the receiving portion.
