A molding die apparatus and a method thereof are provided, which ensures for air and gas (or fluid) present in a resin filling space to be exhausted so as to be able to fill molten resin into the cavity smoothly and uniformly thereby enabling production of a high quality molded resin product suitable as an optical disc substrate or the like having optimum optical properties required therefor. The molding die apparatus for obtaining the molded product by injecting the molten resin into a cavity that is formed between dies includes a vacuum apparatus which is disposed in proximity to the cavity, the vacuum apparatus including a vacuum tank, an exhaustion channel and a vacuum valve which controls open and close of a channel between the vacuum tank and the exhaustion channel, and the cavity is exhausted efficiently and rapidly by the vacuum apparatus.

What is claimed is: 1. A molding die apparatus for obtaining a unitary molded disc-shaped product by injecting molten resin into a cavity formed when closing a set of dies, the apparatus comprising: a vacuum apparatus including a vacuum tank disposed within said die apparatus in close proximity to said cavity and circumferentially above said cavity; and exhaustion means connecting said vacuum tank to said cavity for exhausting air and/or fluid directly from said cavity by said vacuum apparatus, wherein said vacuum apparatus communicates with a circumferential, portion of said cavity through said exhaustion means. 2. The molding die apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said vacuum apparatus includes a valve mechanism for controlling opening and closing of passage between said vacuum tank and said exhaustion means. 3. The molding die apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said vacuum tank has volume capacity at least larger than a total volume capacity of said cavity plus said exhaustion means. 4. A molding die apparatus for obtaining a unitary molded disc-shaped product by injecting molten resin into a cavity formed when closing a set of dies, the apparatus comprising: a vacuum apparatus including a vacuum tank disposed within said die apparatus in close proximity to said cavity and circumferentially above said cavity, and an exhaustion channel connecting said vacuum tank to said cavity for exhausting air and/or fluid by said vacuum apparatus directly from said cavity, wherein said vacuum apparatus communicates with a circumferential portion of said cavity through said exhaustion channel. 5. The molding die apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said vacuum apparatus includes a valve mechanism for controlling opening and closing of passage between said vacuum tank and said exhaustion channel. 6. The molding die apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said vacuum tank has volume capacity at least larger than a total volume capacity of said cavity plus said exhaustion channel.
