Injection molding nozzle
First Claim
1. An injection molding nozzle with a nozzle head (11) including at least one discharge opening (1) leading to a mold for injecting mold material into the mold and forming therein a molded body, a positively controlled closure element (2) movably supported in the nozzle head (11) for closing a communication opening in an injection mold (4), and means for moving the closure element into the communication opening (3) to a closing position fully filling out the communication opening (3) so as to displace any mold material from the communication opening (3) and for moving the closure element (2) out of the communication opening (3) into a fully retracted position and a short stroke return element (5) for displacing the closure element (2) in a direction opposite to the closing movement direction (6) thereof out of the closing position by a predetermined short stroke distance after solidification of a molding material injected into the mold to permit scratch-free removal of the molded body from the mold.

Abstract
In an injection molding nozzle with a nozzle head including at least one discharge opening and a closure element for closing the discharge opening movably supported in the nozzle head for closing the discharge in order to control the supply of melt material to a communication opening in an injection mold, the closure element is operable by a drive mechanism provided with a short stroke actuating means for displacing the closure element in a direction opposite to the closing direction of the closure element by a predetermined short distance so as to automatically retract the closure element by the predetermined short distance when it is no longer biased by the actuating means in the closing direction.
