Patent ID: 8393890

Claim:
An injection molding machine comprising: a fixed stationary platen; a mold attached to the stationary platen; an injection mechanism capable of moving in a direction toward or away from the stationary platen; a nozzle disposed on the injection mechanism; a moving mechanism for moving the injection mechanism in the direction toward or away from the stationary platen; a drive mechanism, connected to a first end of the moving mechanism, for moving the injection mechanism via the moving mechanism to thereby apply pressure relative to the mold from the nozzle; a first connection mechanism connected to a second end of the moving mechanism; an object supported on the first connection mechanism; and a second connection mechanism supported on the first connection mechanism via the object and supported on the stationary platen, wherein a supporting point, at which the first connection mechanism supports the object, is in a position disposed upwardly of a center of the nozzle.
