DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MOLDED ARTICLES, AND A MOLDED ARTICLE THAT CAN BE PRODUCED BY SUCH DEVICE

摘要

A production device composed of a plurality of molding parts, with at least two molding parts having portions thereof exposed to the outer side of the molded article, making it possible to mass−produce molded articles, the device being of an arrangement in which an upper punch, preferably upper and lower punches are divided into a plurality of divisional punches, the device being characterized by comprising means for moving each of the plurality of divisional punches, a means that makes it possible to compress at least two of the plurality of divisional punches, a first molding material feeding/filling section for feeding/filling a first molding material onto the front end of the lower punch or into a space in the die formed by the front end of the divisional punch in the lower punch divided into a plurality of parts, a second molding material feeding/filling section for feeding/filling a second molding material onto the first molding material in the die and/or into a space formed therearound, a preliminary compression molding section for compression−molding at least one of the fed/filled molding materials, and a primary compression molding section for compression−molding the whole molded article, the device being a rotary pressing machine that has a residual molding material removing section, according to need. The invention also provides a molded article having a letter and/or figure that is perceptible from outside in that a molding material of different color is applied to the production device.
