Patent ID: 7390188

Claim:
A resin molding apparatus, comprising: a fixing member to which a top mold is attached; a movable member to which a bottom mold is attached; a push-up member connected to a bottom face of said movable member; and a drive mechanism moving said push-up member in upward/downward direction, wherein the fixing member is fixed to a plurality of posts and the fixing member has a central portion, and each of said fixing member and said push-up member has a structure attaining elastic deformation, whereby the drive mechanism applies a force which resiliently deforms the central portion of the fixing member and also resiliently deforms the push-up member, in order to prevent a gap from being created between said top mold and said bottom mold when said top mold and said bottom mold are clamped by said drive mechanism, said push-up member having a structure which maintains a sliding state of a sliding portion of said movable member with respect to a sliding portion of at least one of said posts when said movable member slides in upward/downward direction along said posts that extend in the upward/downward direction.
