A mold having a shell and a porous layer formed on the surface of the cavity of the shell. The mold can be suitably used for manufacturing a porous body having a porous layer on the surface thereof. The method for manufacturing the mold, includes the steps of forming a layer of combustible powdery particles around a wax mold, which is a lost pattern, a step of forming a film of a ceramic precursor slurry around the wax mold having powdery particles formed thereon, a step of subjecting the result...

A mold capable of preventing deterioration of the mold even when a material for spherical members is harder than that for the mold, and capable of aligning the center axis between an insert member and a body member thereof with high accuracy even when a pressure of resin filling is applied. The mold has an insert member with a cavity surface, and a body member for supporting the insert member from outside via a plurality of spherical members. Tubular liners harder than the spherical members are ...

A mold comprising an elongated hollow cylinder having at least two parts that can be locked to form said cylinder, a core having an inflatable cover, said inflatable cover having means to fix the cover on said core, an upper and lower seal for said core capable of forming a tight seal with the core when the cover is inflated on the parts of the cylinder.

A mold for fabricating articles formed of a fluent material, especially rubber, comprising at least two mold parts enclosing a mold compartment. One of the mold parts possessing a tear or break groove at the region of the mold parting plane, the tear groove surrounding the mold compartment. The tear groove provided in said one mold part has an inner wall which is located exactly opposite the marginal or outer rim of the mold compartment formed in the other mold part and encloses an angle of abou...

An improved mold is provided having an abrasion-resistant reinforcing means disposed at the junction between the mold and a rotating means for resisting wear occurring therebetween as a result of the installation of the mold on a rotating wheel. Preferably, the reinforcing means comprises a hardened plastic ring having a smooth surface facing the drive wheel, and the ring is partially embedded into the mold to attach it to said mold.

A mold of a caterpillartype track mold for a continuous caster features at least at one place a pair of wires which form a thermocouple and make first contact outside the mold. The wires are inserted into the mold in such a manner that their other ends are separated from the surface of the mold facing the melt by a metallic layer which joins these wires and is at most 100 .mu.m thick. The process for manufacturing this mold is such that the metallic layer is electro-deposited on to the ends of t...

A mold for stepwise molding by two or more injection shots of different materials or colors comprises fixed and movable mold halves and a slide core which combinedly form a first cavity and, with the slide core moved down, a second cavity for the shots to form a molded article of unitary structure, such as a housing section of an audio cassette tape with a see-through window. Ribs are formed on the slide core along its peripheries, and a land projection is formed on the inner side of the fixed m...

There is provided a mold component which makes it possible to mold a substrate for an optical recording medium which enables a functional layer having a uniform thickness to be formed thereon without using a resin-coating assisting member. A stamper holder holds a stamper thereon, and has a generally hollow cylindrical shape. An insertion hole formed through a central portion of the stamper has a diameter which is larger than an outer diameter of a cavity-side end of the stamper holder at a high...

A mold frame for an apparatus for producing shaped concrete articles has two longitudinal and two transverse frame members which are detachably screwed to one another with form-fit on the four corners of the rectangular mold frame. The transverse frame members on their end faces have polygonal pins which fit closely into the correspondingly shaped recesses of the longitudinal frame members to resist torsional movement. The polygonal pins and recesses are penetrated by one locking screw at a time...

A mold for in-mold decorating that includes a stationary mold member and a movable mold member through which a decorating film can be passed. At least one of the mold members includes a cavity-forming block with molding cavity configured to receive a design pattern of the decorating film, a dieset, and engaging portions for mounting the cavity-forming block on the dieset. Clamping-force receiving portions are located around the cavity-forming block such that a clamping force is not applied to th...
