Abstract: 1035. Field, J. A. Jan. 15. Moulding.-A moulding-machine has an intermittently rotated table carried by a vertical shaft 3 and provided with flask-supporting plates 4, on to which flasks are successively transferred by lifters 14 from a support 12 on which they are placed by hand. Each flask is first moved below a sieve 65, through which the pattern receives a coating of fine sand supplied from a bin 59 by travelling bands 67. The flask is again moved to be filled with sand, which is supplied from a trough 92 to a sand box 98, which opens automatically when filled and allows the sand to fall upon an agitating-sieve and thence into a shell. When filled, the shell is moved inwards to bring it over a flask 114 carried by a sleeve oscillating on the central shaft 3. Sufficient sand to fill the pattern flask when rammed is transferred from the shell to the false flask, which moves with the pattern flask to the position in which it is shown in Fig. 4, where the ramming is effected by hammers, raised by cams. The pattern flask then moves opposite a support similar to the support 12, to which it is transferred by a second set of lifters. The horizontal movement necessary for transferring the flasks is imparted to the lower ends of the lifters by crank-pins 49, and the ends are opened or closed to release or grip the flasks by rods 40 connected to a rod 36, which is moved vertically by toggles operated from the driving-shaft 27. The lifters are pivoted on a shaft 15. the bearings of which are supported by springs a. The crank-pins are carried by a shaft 17 driven through a shaft 16 from the shaft 27.
