Abstract:
An injection molding machine comprising a substantially C-shaped machine frame having a pair of limbs, a stationary mold mounting plate mounted on one limb of the machine frame, and a closing mechanism for driving a movable mold mounting plate mounted on the other limb of the machine frame, wherein the free ends of the pair of limbs, which are not connected by beam members, deform under the influence of a closing force which occurs during operation of the closing mechanism, and wherein at least one of the mold mounting plates or an end plate carrying the closing mechanism is, respectively, supported against the closing force at an upper edge and a lower edge of said at least one of the molding mounting plates or the end plate, characterized in that a lower support of the mold mounting plates or the end plate, respectively, is formed by a bending pin which extends transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the machine.
