Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing a continuous molding continuously by injecting a solid solution in order of precedence into a plurality of molds circulating in a line along an endless track, and by solidifying the injected solution, the molds each including a plurality of pins which can protrude up into cavities in the mold, the continuous molding consisting of a number of moldings connected end to end by a molded top plate, the moldings being open at their bottoms, the apparatus comprising:conveying means for horizontally conveying the molds in contact with each other and in series along the track;injecting means for injecting the solution into each of the molds moving forward along the track, the injecting means being positioned above the starting point where the conveying means starts conveying the molds;a pressurizer for pressing the upper surface of the injected solution with a predetermined pressure to make the surface continuously flat, the pressurizer being positioned adjacently to and downstream from the injecting means;guide means for guiding the molds down by using the conveying force;removing means for protruding the pins up as the molds are moving down; andcirculating means for circulating to the starting point the molds removed from the molding.
