APPARATUS FOR PRESSURE-MOLDING CERAMIC ARTICLES

摘要

The apparatus includes at least one split mold consisting of a core mold (4b) and an outer mold (4c) which are joined together for defining a pressure mold cavity therebetween. At least the bottom surface (4t) of the pressure mold cavity is inclined longitudinally and laterally, while the split mold per se is not inclined and the slip supply passage for supplying the slip into the pressure mold cavity is communicated with the lowemost end of the pressure mold cavity. Due to the above construction, it is no more necessary to incline the entirety of the split molds so that the frame structure of the apparatus can be vertically constructed on a horizontal floor which permits easy construction, installation and adjustment and maintenance of the apparatus.
