Abstract
Abstract A slip casting mold consisting essentially of a gypsum mold, which contains a water-insoluble organic material, more particularly, a water-insoluble vegetable material such as cellulose, or which further contains glue in addition to the water-insoluble organic material. Since the strength of the casting mold is reduced markedly by heating, a cast article requiring a core (or master mold) having complex shape can be obtained extremely easily.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A slip casting mold consisting essentially of a gypsum mold, wherein said gypsum mold contains 2 to 20 parts by weight of a water-insoluble and water-absorbing vegetable cellulose and 0.05 to 2.00 parts by weight of impure gelatin, per 100 parts by weight of gypsum, whereby addition of the impure gelatin to the mold containing a water-insoluble and water-absorbing vegetable cellulose raises the initial strength of the mold while improving the collapsing property of the mold after heating at a temperature of at least 400° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A slip casting mold consisting essentially of a gypsum mold, wherein said gypsum mold contains 2 to 20 parts by weight of a water-insoluble and water-absorbing vegetable cellulose and 0.05 to 2.00 parts by weight of impure gelatin, per 100 parts by weight of gypsum, whereby addition of the impure gelatin to the mold containing a water-insoluble and water-absorbing vegetable cellulose raises the initial strength of the mold while improving the collapsing property of the mold after heating at a temperature of at least 400° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A slip casting mold as defined in claim 1 wherein said vegetable cellulose is paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A slip casting mold as defined in claim 1 wherein the water-insoluble and water-absorbing vegetable cellulose is in the form of a powder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A slip casting mold as defined in claim 1 wherein 0.2 to 2.00 parts by weight of impure gelatin are contained in the gypsum mold.
