Plasticizing cylinder for a plastics moulding machine

摘要

The invention relates to the combination of a plasticizing cylinder having a mounting surface with a feed hopper. The cylinder carries two pegs accommodated in corresponding recesses in the hopper. A threaded bolt is provided which is screwed through a portion of the cylinder and engages a surface on the hopper and exerts a force having a component along the mounting surface. The pegs are inclined to the mounting surface so that they exert on the hopper a force having a component towards the mounting surface.
