Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A porous die comprising: a porous die body including a back side and further including a molding surface having a plurality of pores opening therethrough; a cooling chamber adjacent said back side of said porous die body opposite said molding surface and communicating with said molding surface through said pores; at least one inlet communicating with said cooling chamber for supplying a coolant to said cooling chamber so as to cool said porous die body; a suction hole communicating with said cooling chamber; and suction means coupled to said suction hole for drawing coolant from said cooling chamber at a rate sufficient to cause air to be drawn into said cooling chamber through said pores so that the coolant and air are drawn simultaneously from said cooling chamber through said suction hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A porous die comprising: a porous die body including a back side and further including a molding surface having a plurality of pores opening therethrough; a cooling chamber adjacent said back side of said porous die body opposite said molding surface and communicating with said molding surface through said pores; at least one inlet communicating with said cooling chamber for supplying a coolant to said cooling chamber so as to cool said porous die body; a suction hole communicating with said cooling chamber; and suction means coupled to said suction hole for drawing coolant from said cooling chamber at a rate sufficient to cause air to be drawn into said cooling chamber through said pores so that the coolant and air are drawn simultaneously from said cooling chamber through said suction hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A porous die according to claim 1, wherein said cooling chamber is provided therewithin with a plurality of fibrous bodies which are rammed so as not to lose permeability.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A porous die according to claim 1, wherein said porous die further includes a circulation chamber and wherein a partition is provided between said circulation chamber and said cooling chamber, said partition having a through hole communicating said cooling chamber with said circulation chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A porous die according to claim 3, wherein said circulation chamber includes therewithin a coolant flow control member for causing said coolant to flow along the back side of said porous die body.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A porous die according to claim 3, wherein a multiplicity of said through holes having a diameter of substantially 2 mm are formed through said partition at a pitch of substantially 30 mm.
