Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Moulding Flower Pots and other Earthenware Vessels.
Inventor: SANKEY CHARLES LEONARD
IPC: B28B1/02
Filed: 1909-09-11
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 20,801. Sankey, C. L. Sept. 11. Presses, with rotary moulds and plungers, for moulding flowerpots &c. Earthenware flower - pots, basins, jars, crucibles, saggars, pipe-coupling rings, &c. having external beads, ribs, or depressions are formed in moulds consisting of a base p a r t A<1> carrying hinged side sections A<2> held together, when the mould is in the operating- position, by means of a clamping-plate C. The base A<1> is fixed to the upper end of a shaft D sliding in bearings in a cross-head F and bed-plate E. The bed-plate E carries vertical pillars G on which the clamping-plate slides, and which support a framing H carrying the rotating core or plunger B. In operation, a piece of clay, previously treated with a lubricant, is placed on the base A<1> when in its lowest position, and the clamping-plate C is raised by means of chains C' or cranks driven by the main shaft, the hinged sections being first closed in, and then the whole mould being lifted bodily to the rotating plunger B, which spreads the clay and moulds the interior of the vessel. When the moulding is completed, the clamping-plate is lowered, and the hinged sections open out, leaving the moulded article on the base ready for removal. In an alternative arrangement, a clamping - casing C, Fig. 4, fixed to a sleeve D<1> on the rod D is used for closing the hinged sections of the mould. The sleeve D is operated by a treadle or crank, and a stop acts on the shaft D to eject the mould on its downward movement. By imparting a rotary motion to the sleeve D<1>, the mould A may be caused to rotate as well as the core B. When the internal surface of the mould is engraved to give relief ornamentation of the moulded article, the best results are obtained by rotating the plunger alternately in opposite directions.
