Patent ID: 8475158

Claim:
An injection molding system comprising: a melt delivery body having a melt channel extending along a longitudinal axis thereof for receiving a melt stream from a melt source; an injection manifold defining a melt channel in fluid communication with the melt channel of the melt delivery body and being disposed proximate a downstream end of the melt delivery body to radially extend therefrom relative to the longitudinal axis of the melt delivery body, the injection manifold melt channel including a first arm segment and a second arm segment extending from a base segment such that the first and second arm segments are disposed on opposing sides of a first mold cavity, the first mold cavity having a longitudinal axis that is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the melt delivery body; and a first pair of nozzle tips in fluid communication with the injection manifold melt channel for delivering the melt stream to the first mold cavity, wherein one of the first pair of nozzle tips is removably coupled to the first arm segment and the other of the first pair of nozzle tips is removably coupled to the second arm segment such that each of the first pair of nozzle tips extends toward the first mold cavity longitudinal axis to feed a respective one of a pair of mold gates on opposing sides of the first mold cavity.
