An injection molding press apparatus for use with a variety of different interchangeable molding tools that allows the simultaneous molding of different parts. The interchangeable molding tools are custom designed to form a desired part. Each interchangeable molding tool allows for the easy replacement of different types of molding tools for the molding of different parts without the need of an entire mold replacement. A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a baffle sorting system for injection molding machines thereby increasing the allowing the simultaneously molded different parts to be ejected from the machine without the need of separating the different parts. This increases the speed of each production run.

[We claim:] [1.]a mold assembly having a fixed side comprising a fixed molding surface, a plurality of a fixed plates, a manifold plate and a top clamp plate, and an ejector side having an ejector molding surface, a plurality of movable plates, an ejector plate, a first ejector support plate, a second ejector support plate, an ejector box assembly and a bottom clamp plate, wherein said molding surfaces when pressed together form a plurality of mold cavities;a plurality of interchangeable molding tools releasably affixed to said mold assembly for molding a plurality of different components, said interchangeable molding tools having a fixed tool side and an ejector tool side, each fixed tool side of each interchangeable molding tool comprising a plurality of fixed tool holder blocks and a fixed tool back-up plate, said fixed molding surface having a plurality of fixed mold cavities for insertion of each fixed tool side of said interchangeable molding tools, each fixed mold cavity having an outside fixed mold cavity perimeter and each ejector tool side of each interchangeable molding tool comprising a plurality of ejector tool holder blocks, a first ejector tool pusher bar retainer plate, an ejector tool back-up plate, an ejector tool retainer plate, a second ejector tool back-up plate, a tool pusher bar and at least one ejector pin substantially affixed to said first ejector retainer tool back-up plate and extending through the ejector tool retainer plate, said ejector molding surface having a plurality of ejector mold cavities for insertion of each ejector tool side of said interchangeable molding tools, each ejector mold cavity having an outside ejector mold cavity perimeter, said ejector tool side of each interchangeable molding tool having a size smaller than said ejector mold cavities;a removable runner distribution system comprising a plurality of interchangeable runner blocks, each interchangeable runner block having a sprue, a tool runner system having a fixed tool runner side and an ejector tool runner side, removable runner block sides, each removable runner block side having a fixed runner block side and an ejector runner block side, wherein one end of each fixed tool runner side is substantially adjacent to said fixed runner block side and one end of each ejector tool runner side is substantially adjacent to said ejector runner block side, wherein said fixed runner block side of said interchangeable runner blocks is substantially centrally located between two fixed mold cavities for insertion of said fixed tool sides of said interchangeable molding tools and said ejector runner block side is substantially centrally located between two ejector mold cavities for insertion of said ejector tool sides of said interchangeable molding tools, wherein said interchangeable fixed tool side and said interchangeable runner tool side when inserted into said fixed mold cavity and said ejector mold cavity, respectively, cooperate fluidly with said fixed runner block side and ejector runner block side, respectively, to distribute said molding material into said fixed tool side and said ejector tool side once said molding material is released through said sprue;a securing means for releasably securing said interchangeable molding tools to said mold assembly, said securing means comprising a plurality of fixed locking keys which releasably lock said fixed tool side of said interchangeable tools to said fixed side of said mold assembly, said fixed molding surface having a plurality of fixed locking key holes located substantially adjacent to each fixed mold cavity perimeter and a plurality of ejector rotating locking keys which releasably lock said ejector tool side of said interchangeable molding tools to said ejector side of said mold assembly, said ejector molding surface having a plurality of ejector locking key holes located substantially adjacent to each outside ejector mold cavity perimeter;a means for injecting a molding material into said mold cavity for forming said plurality of different components, said means for injecting a molding material into said mold cavity comprising said top clamp plate of said fixed side having a receiving aperture for injection of said molding material by an injection apparatus, a plurality of injection channels, a hot manifold system, and an injection exit nozzle, wherein said molding material once injected into said receiving aperture of said top clamp plate travels through said injection channels into said hot manifold system until said molding material is released by said injection exit nozzle into said sprue of said runner distribution system;a cooling means for cooling said different components once said molding material has set, said cooling means comprising a water jacket apparatus for injection molding systems;a releasing means for simultaneously releasing said different components from said mold assembly once said molding material has set, said releasing means comprising the simultaneous ejection of said different components;a means for separating said plurality of different components once said plurality of different components are simultaneously released, said separating means comprising a baffle sorting system for injection molding machines; anda means for locking said mold assembly when said molding surfaces are pressed together to form said mold cavities.
