CERAMIC CASTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

The aparatus and the method are applied in the manufacture of household commodities, in particular in casting of toilet bowls and other ceramic products. The apparatus is made of two outer female moulds having co-operating mating faces and a punch fitted in use between them. The two parts are relatively movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the mating faces, thereby permitting the female moulds to form a seal against the male mould, and the two corresponding parts of an article to be cast. Then the punch is removed and the two parts are joined. 26 claims, 5 figures
