<p>This invention provides a flaskless molding apparatus for an upper and a lower mold that can produce molds comprised of molding sand with a substantially uniform density, the apparatus, comprising
a match plate held between a cope flask and a drag flask,
a squeezing mechanism having a plurality of upper and lower segmented-squeeze feet, wherein the upper and the lower segmented-squeeze feet are insertable into each opening of the cope flask and the drag flask respectively, which openings are opposite to the match plate, and wherein the squeezing mechanism can support and rotate the cope flask and the drag flask so that the mechanism allows the cope flask and the drag flask to be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in a perpendicular plane about a supporting shaft and so that the cope flask and the drag flask can be perpendicular or horizontal, and
a means for moving the segmented-squeeze feet, wherein the means can control the positions of the upper and the lower segmented-squeeze feet, which positions determine the condition of the molding sand in the molding spaces, according to the intervals between the match plate and each of the upper and the lower segmented-squeeze feet opposite to the match plate.</p> |
