Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A mold core for ejecting a cup-shaped workpiece which comprises: a core base; a core cap fixedly engaged with said core base; a core sleeve seated on said core base and engageable with said core cap, said core cap, core base and core sleeve forming a peripheral surface for molding a cup-shaped workpiece thereon, said sleeve being moveable between a forward position and a rearward position relative to said cap; a fluid ejection channel formed at the interface of said core base and core sleeve for ejecting gaseous fluid to said peripheral surface having an open position defined by forward movement of said core sleeve and a closed position defined by rearward movement of said core sleeve; a fluid channel means communicating with said fluid ejection channel; and means for limiting the forward movement of said core sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
