Abstract
Abstract A press mold having upper and lower jaws for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material. Each jaw supports a die, at least one of which has a molding matrix. A press ring mounted around the die having the matrix. Upper and lower contoured parts made of synthetic material or rubber are respectively mounted on the upper and lower die by adhesive. Each contoured part has a matrix. One of these matrices has an inner contoured edge which corresponds to the outer edge contour of the molding made by the press mold and having an outer contoured edge at least in the areas of the smaller diameters of the molding with respect to the areas of the largest diameter of the moldings in the direction of the surface of the molding which protrudes beyond this inner contoured edge and which has an even contour, such as a circle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material having undulated or serrated edges, said press mold having upper and lower jaws confronting each other and movably mounted relative to each other, an upper and lower die respectively mounted on said upper and lower jaws, upper and lower parts made of synthetic material or rubber and having confronting matrices which respectively adhere to said upper and lower dies, a press ring coaxially mounted around at least one of said dies, but one matrix of said confronting matrices having an inner undulated or serrated contoured edge which corresponds to the outer undulated or serrated edge of the molding made by the press mold, and both matrices also each having an outer edge which has an even periphery, e.g. a circle, which periphery in the radial direction of the surface of the molding is at least coextensive with the largest diameter of the molding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material having undulated or serrated edges, said press mold having upper and lower jaws confronting each other and movably mounted relative to each other, an upper and lower die respectively mounted on said upper and lower jaws, upper and lower parts made of synthetic material or rubber and having confronting matrices which respectively adhere to said upper and lower dies, a press ring coaxially mounted around at least one of said dies, but one matrix of said confronting matrices having an inner undulated or serrated contoured edge which corresponds to the outer undulated or serrated edge of the molding made by the press mold, and both matrices also each having an outer edge which has an even periphery, e.g. a circle, which periphery in the radial direction of the surface of the molding is at least coextensive with the largest diameter of the molding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material as set forth in claim 1, wherein only the upper die has a matrix with said inner contoured edge, whereas the lower die has an upper border provided with an even periphery at its outer and inner edges.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material as set forth in claim 2, wherein said outer contoured edge is in the form of an ellipse.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material as set forth in claim 2, wherein in the case of rectangularly shaped articles at least one of said upper and lower parts has an outer contoured edge in the form of a rectangle, and said coextensive portion of the periphery of said molding follows a rectangular course which corresponds to said even periphery.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material as set forth in claim 2, wherein said contoured edge is in a form selected from the form of circles, ellipses and rectangles arranged at intervals with respect to each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
A press mold for pressing and molding articles of ceramic material as set forth in claim 5, wherein said upper and lower parts of said dies are made of material selected from epoxy resin, neoprene or polyurethane.
