Abstract:
An aligning device adapted to align an injection nozzle with a sprue of a mold comprising:a barrel defining an interior space therein and a central axis lengthwise, the barrel having first and second axial ends, the first end defining a central bore therein;a sprue aligning member including a base fixed to the second end of the barrel and a pin extending from the base in a first direction along the central axis, the pin being removeably received within the sprue of the mold;a nozzle aligning member including a disk axially movably received in the interior space of the barrels the disk having a projection extending in a second direction opposite to the first direction through the central bore of the barrel, the projection having a free end receivable within the nozzle; anda spring disposed arranged between the sprue aligning member and the nozzle aligning member for biasing the nozzle aligning member away from the sprue aligning member;whereby by moving the mold with respect to the nozzle in a manner such that the free end of the projection of the nozzle aligning member is received within the nozzle without any compression of the spring, the nozzle is exactly aligned with the sprue of the mold.
