An injection molding one-piece gate and cavity insert (10) to be mounted between a heated nozzle (12) and a cavity (14). The insert (10) has a cooling fluid chamber (116) extending around the central gate (22) with a thin cavity wall portion (144) extending between the cooling fluid (116) chamber and a convex portion (16) of the cavity (14). Alternating frontwardly and rearwardly projecting rib portions (140,142) extend radially into the cooling fluid chamber (116) to form a pair of tortuous passages (136,138) between them for cooling fluid flowing each way around the insert from an inlet (118) to an outlet (120). In addition to providing more cooling because of turbulent flow of the cooling fluid and their increased surface area, these rib portions (140,142) also substantially increase the strength of the insert to withstand repetitive injection pressure in the cavity. <IMAGE> |
