Abstract
A molding apparatus for light-permeable articles which includes a nozzle that is movable up and down. A suction path and a suction device connected to the suction path are provided so as to suck a gas at a contact face of a sprue bush and its vicinity during the up/down movement of the nozzle. Accordingly, foreign substances, invading the mold can be sucked up before the apparatus performs a molding operation. Therefore, foreign substances are prevented from being mixed into the molded product. The molded product is accordingly improved in quality and yield.
