Abstract
A closing unit for an injection molding machine includes a substantially C-shaped machine frame, to the first leg of which is mounted a stationary mold mounting plate and to the second leg of which is mounted a closing mechanism for driving a moveable mold mounting plate. The free ends of the legs of the machine frame are deformed under the influence of the closing force occurring during the closing operation. The stationary mold mounting plate is supported at or near its lower edge by a support element on the machine frame against the closing force, and is fixedly connected above the lower edge to the first leg. The support element has a flexural beam extending transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the machine, and a compression bar extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the machine.
