A mixing head for mutually reactive components, e.g. of a synthetic resin to be injected into a mold cavity, comprisess a control member which is shiftable in a mixing chamber opening into the mold cavity between a position in which mixing of the components can occur in this chamber and a position in which the member expels the mixture from the chamber and provides recirculating passages for the two components. A displacement body can be inserted into the chamber to control the mixing action by a fluid-operated actuator hydraulically coupled to a fluid displacement member shifted by the control member.

1. A mixing head for two reactive components comprising: housing means forming a mixing chamber and having respective inlets supplied with said components and adapted to open into a mold cavity; a control member displaceable in said housing means between a first position wherein flow from said inlets into said chamber is blocked and residual mixtures of said components are displaced from said chamber, and a second position wherein flow from said inlets into said chamber is unblocked, said control member defining passages for recirculating said compartments from said inlets in said first position of said control member; a first cylinder arrangement including a piston operatively connected to said control member and hydraulically actuatable to shift said control member between said positions; a displacement body laterally shiftable into and out of said chamber for controlling the mixing of said components thereof; a second cylinder arrangement having a piston connected to said body and hydraulically operable to shift said body into said chamber; a third cylinder arrangement mounted on said housing means and having a piston positioned for mechanical displacement by the piston of said first cylinder upon movement of said member from said first position to said second position to displace hydraulic fluid from said third cylinder arrangement; and a duct connecting said second and third cylinder arrangements whereby the movement of the piston of said third cylinder arrangement induces movement of the piston of said second cylinder arrangement, and independent of the hydraulic operation of said first cylinder arrangement, for establishing hydraulic fluid communication therebetween for shifting said body into said chamber upon movement of said member from said first position to said second position and for withdrawing said body from said chamber upon movement of said member from said second position toward said first position. 2. The mixing head defined in claim 1, further comprising a hydraulic pressure accumulator connected to said duct. 3. The mixing head defined in claim 1 wherein the piston of said third cylinder arrangement is shiftable in a first direction upon movement of said member into said second position, said third cylinder arrangement including a spring acting upon the piston thereof to urge the same in a direction opposite said first direction. 4. The mixing head defined in claim 1 wherein said second cylinder arrangement comprises a spring urging the piston thereof in a direction tending to withdraw said body from said chamber, said duct forming a single hydraulic path between chambers of said second and third cylinder arrangements. 5. The mixing head defined in claim 1 wherein said piston of said third cylinder arrangement has a stem extending into said first cylinder arrangement and engageable by the piston thereof. 6. The mixing head defined in claim 5 wherein said body is formed with grooves adapted to be filled by said mixture.
