Abstract
Plugs ( ) that can be removed and that are made in two parts are used to close off channel sections in a hot-channel distributor ( ); these are arranged so as to subtend an acute angle &agr; with the principal axis (A) of a channel ( ) that can be charged with a plastified mass. A continuous sealing edge of the face surface ( ) of these is pressed onto a continuous annular surface ( ) that encloses an opening ( ) to the channel ( ). The angle &agr; lies between 40° to 45°. The plug ( ) incorporates a pressure piece ( ) that is located in front of a screw body ( ) that can be screwed into an inclined bore ( ) that opens out into area of the channel in the distributor ( ) that is to be sealed off. At the sealing edge ( ), the face surface ( ) of the plug is flat, although it can be concavely curved inward or be crowned ( ), much like a segment of a sphere, the diameter of which is defined by the diameter of the smallest radius of the sealing edge ( ). The outer annular surface ( ), which is circularly restricted, can be arranged on an elbow ( ) at which the channel ( ) makes the transition to become a branch of the distributor ( ). In a through channel ( ) with a series of branches ( ) selected sections ( ), the ends of which have annular surface ( ) that are inclined opposite to each other, can be closed off by the associated plugs ( ).
