Abstract:
The present invention relates to articles, systems, and methods for injection molding an article. The method includes directing a first shot of molten polymeric material into a mold cavity to form a first part while simultaneously occluding a portion of the gate orifice area with a mold core. Once the first shot is solidified, then the mold core is withdrawn and a second shot is directed into the space previously occupied by the mold core while a portion of the gate orifice area is occluded by the solidified first shot.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the injection molding machine includes a plurality of gates that each define an orifice area and the mold core includes a plurality of prongs with parallel opposing surfaces, and wherein directing the first shot of molten material into the mold cavity includes directing the molten material though a first portion of the orifice area of each gate while simultaneously occluding a second portion of the orifice area of each gate with the prongs of the mold core, and wherein directing a second shot of molten material into the mold cavity includes directing the molten material through the second portion of the orifice area of each gate while simultaneously occluding the first portion of the orifice area of each gate with the first part of the article.
