Abstract:
A mold device includes first and second molds matched and engaged with each other at first and second curved major surfaces thereof to define a cavity between first and second matched portions. The molds respectively have first and second step portions surrounding the matched portions and spaced apart from the major surfaces in a height direction so as to define an air venting channel that is in air communication with the cavity and the ambient air. With such construction, the mold device is easy to fabricate and has a fewer number of components, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the manufacturing cost.

Claim (Index 1):
A mold device with an air venting structure, comprising:\n a first mold having a first curved major surface, at least one first matched portion which is formed on said first curved major surface, and at least one first step portion which surrounds said first matched portion, said first step portion being spaced apart from said first curved major surface in a height direction of said first mold; and a second mold having a second curved major surface which is configured to be matched and engaged with said first curved major surface, at least one second matched portion which is formed on said second curved major surface and which cooperates with said first matched portion to define a cavity, and at least one second step portion which surrounds said second matched portion and which is spaced apart from said second curved major surface in a height direction of said second mold, said second step portion being configured to cooperate with said first step portion to define an air venting channel that is in air communication with said cavity and the ambient air when said second curved major surface is matched and engaged with said first curved major surface.
