Method for handling cast articles
Abstract
Abstract Injection molding method for molding articles, particularly ceramic articles such as square lavatories which have a flat back edge surface. The injection molding takes place at high pressure. Particular means are provided for handling the molds and for removing the top or cover of the carrier, rotating the top or cover and removing the finished cast article such that the finish piece is positioned to rest on its flat surface. The cast article is rotated through 90 degrees, set on a movable surface and then separated from the mold cover by applying pressure which moves the article and the movable surface a small amount. The apparatus facilitates handling of the molds and makes possible rapid and repeated use of the mold and thereby greatly augments their utility.
