Abstract:
A mold (1), particularly a steam-chest mold, for processing expandable or expanded polymer beads to form a particle foam component, the mold comprising: at least one mold member (2) comprising at least one wall element (3) having a first face (3.1) at least partly delimiting a cavity (4) of the mold (1) which is to be filled with expandable or expanded polymer beads to form a particle foam component during operation of the mold (1), wherein the at least one wall element (3) has a second face (3.2), particularly opposing the first face (3.1), which is provided with at least one recess (3.3) defining a channel structure for a tempering medium for tempering the at least one mold member (2), further comprising: at least one thermal isolation element (8) attached to the second face (3.2) of the at least one wall element (3) for closing and thermally isolating the at least one recess (3.3) to form a closed channel structure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mold for molding parts made of thermoplastic material, the mold comprises a non-injection side and an injection side, the latter in turn comprising a cavity plate opposite to a back plate (2); the non-injection side comprises support means (14) attached to the male plate (12) and configured to move to the injection side, such that the at least one male, integrated in the non-injection side, is inserted into at least one cavity, integrated in the injection side, the at least one male and the at least one cavity delimit at least one molding space suitable for receiving thermoplastic material so that at least one part to be molded is formed; said mold includes at least one injector (8), and includes at least one ejector (9).
Abstract:
A mold includes a mold body, a fluid passage through which fluid for temperature control flows, a porous conductive sheet and an electroformed metal. The porous conductive sheet is placed on a back surface of the mold body, has a plurality of through holes, and is conductive at least at its surface. The electroformed metal is electrodeposited on the back surface of the mold body and on the porous conductive sheet so as to fill and close the through holes of the porous conductive sheet. In the mold, an inner surface of the electroformed metal forms at least a part of an inner surface of the fluid passage.
Abstract:
A ski boot with removable and interchangeable soles. In one embodiment, the ski boot has a hull with a shaped plate, a sole adapted to be removed from the hull with the sole having a front portion and a back portion that are separated from each other and constrained to the hull via fixing screws. The removable and interchangeable soles allows the ski boot to be configured for specific skiing disciplines and is compatible with ski bindings provided with a plurality of pins integral with the ski that are fitted into corresponding shaped recesses of the hull. The shaped recesses are positioned on the sides of the plate, which is fixedly constrained to the ski boot.
Abstract:
A male mould element includes a cooling circuit having first passage elements obtained in a first component of the male mould element and second passage elements obtained in a second component of the male mould element, the first passage elements and the second passage elements being distributed around a longitudinal axis of the male mould element so that there exist a plurality of angular positions of the first component relative to the second component in which the first passage elements are in fluid communication with the second passage elements.
Abstract:
In order to provide a mold capable of imparting an appropriate amount of heat depending on a part of an object to be heated, the mold for transferring heat to the object to be heated is provided with a hollow portion inside the mold, and a heat amount adjusting agent, which is accommodated in the hollow portion, for changing heat transfer property of the hollow portion, in which the heat amount adjusting agent is made of a powdery or granular material having a material property different from a material property of the mold.
Abstract:
To provide a tire mold subject to least energy loss from heat dissipation during a curing process and thus capable of improving a curing efficiency, the tire mold has hollow cavities therein and a heating medium that circulates inside the hollow cavities, thereby heating a tire through the mold.
Abstract:
A tool (100) comprises a thermal control assembly for a mould tool comprising a base portion (202) for attachment to a mould tool and a thermal effector (212) or transducer (162; 226) movably attached to the base portion and resiliently biased such that the effector or transducer self-aligns upon assembly of the base portion to a mould tool.
