          Appeal No. 96-3174                                                          
          Application 07/970,608                                                      


               (b) injecting into each pre-enlarged mold cavity a                     
          volume of plasticized resin larger than a volume of the                     
          article to be formed but insufficient to fill each pre-                     
          enlarged cavity;                                                            
               (c) commonly and simultaneously applying a main clamp                  
          force of the injection molding machine before commencement of               
          said injection to reduce the volumes of the mold cavities and               
          fill the reduced volume mold cavities while venting gases; and              
               (d) maintaining the applied main clamp force until a                   
          final clamp lock-up position is reached, thereby compressing                
          the resin until slight excess is forced into a pressure relief              
          outlet and the resin solidifies.
