Patent ID: 8591220

Claim:
A valve pin and actuator assembly for injection molding for providing easy access to a valve pin and actuator assembly used in runnerless injection molding valved gated systems, comprising: means for providing a mounting frame for said valve pin actuator assembly and support for an injection mold; means for shutting off a valve gate; means for providing linear movement of said valve pin; means for attaching said valve pin to a hollow actuator shaft; means for preventing damage to said valve pin, insertably connected to said means for attaching said valve pin to hollow actuator shaft; means for limiting linear travel of said valve pin actuator shaft; means for serving as a holder for said valve pin and providing linear movement of said valve pin, rigidly affixed to said means for attaching said valve pin to said hollow actuator shaft, and insertably positioned to said means for shutting off valve gate; means for rotating around said actuator shaft and transferring a rotating motion into a linear motion, turnably inserted to said means for serving as holder for said valve pin and providing linear movement for said valve pin, and securely mounted to said means for providing a mounting frame for said valve pin actuator assembly and support for an injection mold; means for securing said valve pin into said valve pin retainer, capacitively assembled to said means for shutting off valve gate; and means for securing said valve pin into said valve pin retainer, capacitively assembled to said means for shutting off valve gate.
