Abstract
A product, such as an optical disk substrate, having a minute surface pattern and a central hole is suitably obtained by an injection molding, wherein a resin is injected into a cavity defined by a mold including a movable half and a fixed half. The movable half is provided with an ejector ring reciprocally movable in a mold opening-and-closing direction and a gate cutter reciprocally movable at two strokes in the mold opening-and-closing direction. After the resin is injected into the cavity to form a product accompanied with a gate, the gate cutter is moved at a first stroke to cut the gate. Then the mold is opened, and substantially simultaneously with commencement of the mold opening, the product is released from the stamper and the gate cutter is moved at a second stage stroke in a direction causing the release of the product from the stamper.
