Patent ID: 7326050

Claim:
Injection-moulding machine with a substantially C-shaped machine frame, at one side of which frame is mounted a fixed die platen, said one side having at least one free end, and at the other side of which frame is mounted a clamping mechanism exerting a clamping force for driving a movable die platen, said other side having at least one free end, wherein said free ends of said sides of the machine frame not connected by bars deform under the influence of the clamping force, and wherein a joint part is arranged between at least one die platen and the machine frame and comprises a beam extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine which is deformed upon application of the clamping force, whereby said one die platen is tilted relative to the associated side of the machine frame, the support of the beam on said one die platen being effected substantially by two support surfaces spaced apart from each other which are arranged above and below the midplane of said one die platen, as defined by height of said one die platen.
