More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein is, amongst other things, a molding apparatus that includes a collet (116, 316) for use in a first stack portion (110, 310) of a mold stack (106, 306). The mold stack (106, 306) is associated, in use, with an injection mold (100). The collet (116, 316) is structured to define a plurality of molding fingers (140, 340) that are resiliently deflectable, in use, between a neutral configuration and a deflected configuration, the plurality of molding fingers (140, 340) being cooperable to define an encapsulated portion (145) of a molding cavity (101) when arranged in abutment. Furthermore, each of the plurality of molding fingers (140, 340) defines a cam follower (142, 342) that is cooperable, in use, with a bearing (170) with which to link the cam follower (142, 342) with a cam (150, 250) for the exercising thereof between the neutral configuration and the deflected configuration.
