a hot runner manifold;
a heater coupled to said manifold; and a heat dissipation device, having a first end coupled to said manifold between said manifold and a cooler member, said cooler member having a lower temperature than said manifold;
wherein said heat dissipation device thermally expands and contacts said cooler member when a temperature of said manifold at said pre-determined location increases above a predetermined temperature.
2. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dissipation device comprises a plurality of fins extending from a base.
3. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dissipation device has a second end, said second end being bent towards said cooler member prior to the introduction of heat into said manifold.
4. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein said heat dissipation device includes only a single layer of material.
5. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein said single layer is selected from the group consisting of copper, copper alloys, aluminum, and aluminum alloys.
6. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said heat dissipation device includes a first layer that is directed toward a surface of said manifold and an opposed second layer.
7. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said first layer is more thermally conductive than said opposed second layer.
8. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein said first layer is selected from the group consisting of copper, copper alloys, aluminum, and aluminum alloys.
9. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein said second layer is selected from the group consisting of titanium, titanium alloys, stainless steels, iron alloys, ceramic and fiberglass.
10. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said first layer and said second layer are metallic.
11. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said heat dissipation device includes a third layer adjacent to said second layer and opposite said second layer from said first layer.
12. The injection molding apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein said first and third layers are materials having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than said second layer.
