Abstract
A stationary die for a horizontal die casting machine has an oscillatable molten metal injector below the die that oscillates from an acute angle outside the die for filling with molten metal to an acute angle under the die or injecting the molten metal into the die. The stationary die has an annular docking block at the same acute angle to the horizontal as the axis of the shot sleeve under the die. The edge of the aperture at the outer end of the docking block is adjacent to and substantially in the plane of the parting surface of the stationary die so that the docking block per se projects outwardly from the surface. Correspondingly, the adjacent parting surface of the movable die is provided with a cavity for fitting this projection of the docking block, but since the surfaces of this docking block are at convergent acute angles, they provide no restriction to the movement of the movable die. A trough duct is provided in the stationary die from the open end aperture of the docking block to the die cavity for the molten metal for producing the casting between the closed dies. Ejector pins are provided for removal of the casting after it has been cast and the dies parted. Furthermore, the movable die may be provided with one or more slides, including a slide adjacent the docking block with a cavity therein for receiving the outward projecting part of this block from the surface of the stationary die.
