Process reducing of mould cycle time.

摘要

A method is disclosed for the reduction of mould cycle time. A deflatable member is positioned flush with the surface of a mould in an opening defined downwardly therein. Prior to flow of a resin or other hardenable liquid within the mould, the deflatable member is deflated so as to define a resin flow channel across selected portions of the mould surface. Prior to hardening of the hardenable liquid within the mould, the deflatable member is inflated so as to become flush with the surface of the mould so as to yield an article of manufacture having a relatively planar surface.
