VERTICAL MOLD PRESS FOR MOLDING ARTICLES OF RUBBER-LIKE MATERIAL

摘要

A press for molding articles such as O-rings of rubber-like material characterized in that a pair of vertically disposed mold plates secured to heating platens are relatively horizontally movable into and out of mating engagement, the press, when open, being unloaded by gravity upon movement of a stripper downwardly between said mold plates, and being loaded by lateral movement of a vertical loading device to position uncured stock between said mold plates so that when the press is closed the stock is squeezed into the cavities in the mating faces of said mold plates.
