Patent ID: 7854606

Claim:
Injection moulding machine for processing plastics materials and other plasticisable compounds, the machine comprising: a machine frame, at least one injection moulding unit and a mould closing unit, both of which are operationally connected to the machine frame in an operating state, wherein the machine frame or at least a part thereof is associated with the mould closing unit as a stationary mould carrier and there is provided a moveable mould carrier, which, relative to the stationary mould carrier, is guided at guide elements, is movable in a closing direction in and out of mould closure, wherein additional parts of the mould closing unit are movable relative to the stationary mould carrier during mould closure, and wherein the mould closing unit comprises a drive unit for displacing the moveable mould carrier and, for this purpose, is in operational connection with the stationary mould carrier and, via at least one force-transmitting element, with the moveable mould carrier, wherein the drive unit is pivotally mounted at one end to the machine frame or the stationary mould carrier and is pivotally connected at the other end to a support plate, which is connected to the force-transmitting element and is movable in the closing direction, wherein the force-transmitting element is at least one separate bracket, which is deformable by forces substantially occurring when an injection mould assembly is closed.
