Patent ID: 8162645

Claim:
A conveyor assembly incorporating a plurality of individually assembleable molds for creating polymer based parts, comprising: a first overhead extending conveyor supporting a succession of lids via a plurality of support rods, each exhibiting on an underside facing interior surface a negative template of a part to be produced; a second conveyor supporting a succession of volume holding bins within which are deposited a volume of a polymeric material and over which is assembled a selected lid; and a carriage mechanism including a pair of spaced apart arms configured and lower extending ends for engaging a pair of coaxially aligned and bin end rotatably supporting portions for pivotally supporting said bin about a linear horizontal axis, said carriage mechanism constructed to withdraw said assembled lid and bin from said second conveyor prior to inverting said assembled lid and bin in a first step to adhere a sub-volume of a polymeric material according to a desired thickness to said template, said carriage return rotating said bin to an upright position, said carriage further exerting a vibratory motion to said bin during at least one of said inverted and return rotated positions to facilitate at least one of particulate adherence during part formation and excess polymeric removal, and prior to disassembly of said lid and removal of the finished part.
