Moulding-machines; fl a s k s; clamping and guiding flasks. - The apparatus described in Specification 8817/11 is modified in order to adapt it to moulding by means of doublefaced pattern plates. The lower moulding-box 11 is placed on a false flask 4 which is supported by rods 6 pressed upwards by springs 49, and the upper flask 17 with its false flask 19 is placed on the pattern plate 16 supported at three points a, b, c by the unequal arms 50 pivoted to the pillar 26. The boxes are simultaneously filled, the upper, carried by the pattern plate 16, is then swung over the lower box and raised, by rods 29 actuated by a lower piston, off the support 50, which is swung out of the way. Owing to the position of the rods 29, the arrangement of the pillar 26 to one side and the unequal length of the arms 50, these do not interfere with the rods 29 in any position. The pattern plate 16 is lowered on to the box 11, the cross-bar 43 is swung into the position shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the stay 46 is engaged, and the sand is pressed by the head 21. The upper box 17 is then attached to the head 21 by hooks 24 and drawn, and the lower piston is actuated to draw the pattern plate from the lower box, vibrating means being employed. The pattern plate is then removed by means of the support 50, and the upper box 17 is lowered on to and clamped to the lower box 11 and removed, leaving the machine ready for the next operation. When the machine is arranged for upward compression, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the bottom plate 21 is supported by a piston 57 containing a spring-pressed piston 60 which supports the lower false flask 4 and moulding-box 11. After both boxes have been filled and the pattern &c. has been swung into position, the piston 57 is raised, lifting the pattern plate 16 and upper box 17 &c. off the support 50 and pressing them against the head 43. Both boxes are drawn by lowering the piston 57 and the mould is closed, after swinging the pattern plate to one side, by raising the piston again. The piston 57 is operated by opening a valve 70 which is turned by a rod 67 moved by a lever 60, the rod serving as a lock to ensure the stay 52 being in position.
