PRESSURE SLIP CASTING APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SANITARY WARE

摘要

A pressure slip casing apparatus for producing a sanitary ware such as a toilet bowl, comprises lifting hydraulic cylinder means secured to said top member of a stationary frame; a pair of suspending devices supported by a base plate attached to said lifting hydraulic cylinder means; an interlocking mechanism for operatively connecting said suspending devices to each other;and a hydraulic cylinder device for moving a suspending devices towards and away from each other through the action of said interlocking mechanism. A mold part and a core mold part are attached to said base of said stationary frame and to the lower surface of said base plate, respectively. Side mold parts are suspended by said suspending devices so as to be brought and aligned together when said suspending devices are moved towards each other, and said core mold part and said side mold parts in assembled state are adapted to be lowered by said lifting hydraulic cylinder means so that said side mold parts and said core mold parts are sequentially assembled with said bottom mold part and then clamped therewith. The apparatus further comprises clamping devices provided on said posts and capable of clamping said side mold parts to each other subsequent to the clamping operation performed by said lifting hydraulic cylinder means.
