Pressure-casting equipment for sanitary articles

摘要

Moulds are situated alongside each other, each having a bottom section, two side sections and a top section. Clamps acting in the vertical and horizontal directions secure them in a cage. The cage (1) forms a fixed module accommodating two moulds. The bottom sections (3) of these moulds are held on the bottom cross-member (11) at intervals determined by the mould width. The top sections are held on the top cross-member at the same intervals by vertical clamps (7). The side sections are fixed to suspension trucks (12,13) on the mould, and which are coupled together by a tilting lifting beam inside the cage. The beam tilting angle corresponds to the inclined position of the equipment. A rear-wall section of the mould is inserted and clamped in the horizontal direction. A first horizontal clamp (8) on the cage wall acts against the outer suspended truck of the first mould, while the outer truck of the second mould bears against a thrust block (17) on the other cage wall. In the same plane a second horizontal clamp on the bottom cross-member acts at 90 degrees to the first clamp, working against the rear mould wall-section and the mould side opposite it. Vertical clamps on the top cross-member support the top sections for each of the moulds.
