A flask for containing mold sand within it prevents any mold shifting or mold dropping. Each of an upper flask 2 and a lower flask 3 includes a body that defines an opening in which a sand mold is to be molded. The body has at least one inlet 101 for introducing the mold sand into the opening. Two flanges 102 are extended from the body such that they are opposed to each other across the opening. Each flange has a through bore. The flask also includes engaging members for engaging an actuator in the outside of the flask such that a force or forces from said actuator could be transmitted to the flask. An upper flask 104 and a lower flask 105 are opposed to each other across a pattern plate 107. They are integrally assembled to make a flask unit by means of a pair of connecting rods 106 that are fitted in each bore. |

A method for manufacturing a railcar coupler knuckle includes, before casting, positioning an external chill within a cope mold portion and a drag mold portion offset from and adjacent internal walls of a pulling face and a throat of the cope and drag mold portions, thus producing a casting with reduced micro-shrinkage in at least the throat, a high-stress section of the casting. Use of subsurface chills produces an improved surface with fewer inclusions when compared to an equivalent surface produced in a process without use of a subsurface chill. The external chill may be a cone chill of a larger size to improve cooling and solidification at and below the surface. The external chill may also be a cylindrical and/or oblong chill with a tapered design that may correspond to the internal walls of the cope and drag mold portions between the pulling face and the throat. |

A method of manufacturing a cast article including a frame that in use of the article defines an aperture; and a further component that is in use retained moveably captive relative to the frame. The method casts the further component and respective first and second frame members, the further component and the frame members being securable together to form the article, and subsequently assembles the frame members and the further component together to form the article. A gully grate results from practicing the method. |

The pattern plate of a matchplate molding machine is attached to a drag flask by spring-loaded clamps which may be rapidly opened to enable the plate to be quickly and easily removed from the flask and replaced by another plate. Locating members are attached to the flask in laterally opposed relation with the clamps and coact with the clamps to fixture the pattern plate accurately on the flask. A removable operating handle is provided for opening the clamps and carries a latch for releasably holding the clamps in their open positions during changing of the pattern plates. A conventional bolt-on pattern plate may be converted for use with the clamping system by attaching bars with downwardly inclined upper surfaces to the pattern plate, the bars being secured within notches in the side edges of the plate. |

A method and an apparatus for replacing pattern plates in a moulding plant for making boxless mould parts of sand or other like material is characterized by the use of a revolving table (1), which is provided with e.g. four symmetrically placed arms (1), in which are suspended pattern plates (2,3). The revolving table is designed for sequential conveying of the pattern plates (2,3) for placing these on a squeeze plate (PP) and a counter-pressure plate (MTP), respectively, in the moulding chamber of a moulding plant (suggested only on the drawing). The pattern plates (2,3) are placed in the respective arms (1) when the latter are just opposite the changing position. From the changing position, the pattern plates (2,3) are conveyed into a moulding chamber by a transverse sliding movement in an essentially known manner. |

A device for changing model plates is used in the manufacture of sand molds for foundry molding machines. The vertical axis of the lifting mechanism intersects both the longitudinal axis of the feed mechanism and the pivot field circle of the rotary conveyor for moving the model plates between lifting and molding sites. Model plates can be changed by the device without interrupting the molding machine cycle. Also, the model plates can be positioned outside the molding machine. |

In a plant for the production of vertically divided casting moulds consisting of flaskless mould parts, produced successively in a pressing chamber having pressing plates carrying exchangeable pattern boards. Carriers are arranged laterally of the pressing chamber with a view to allowing a quick changing of said pattern boards, one of the carriages serving to automatically feed and insert "new" pattern boards while the other one picks up and pulls away "used" pattern boards. The various operations are controlled by an electronic control system in dependence on a code on the pattern boards whereby to reduce waste of time to a minimum and avoid risk involving manual operations. |

A pattern plate adapted to support a pattern having a plate body with gage blocks to insure uniform body thickness and a plurality of lug and recess sets for forming a series of pockets and bosses in the cope and drag sections of a sand mold. The lug and recess sets are arranged in end-to-end or chain like arrangement adjacent the ends and sides of the body. Each lug and recess set has a pair of arcuate cavities open to opposite sides of the body and a pair of oppositely directed arcuate lugs. Each lug has an arcuate pad projected outwardly along its crown to form a well in the bottom or top of the pockets in the molds to accommodate loose foreign particles, as sand. In one form of the invention two pattern plates are secured together in a side by side relation to form a match plate pattern assembly. The pads on the lugs space the plate bodies from each other to provide a venting passage between the bodies. Holes in the bodies permit the air to flow through the bodies and passage between the plate to the atmosphere. Each body has externally projecting lugs with pads and recesses to form pockets with wells and bosses that fit into the pockets. |

Method of producing plates having an identical configuration of valleys and lugs thereon so that one plate is interchangeable with another. Flat plates are provided with a pair of individual holes at opposite ends of the plate center line. Thereafter one or more valleys are machined in a predetermined spacing and location from one or both of the locating holes, and the process repeated for a plurality of plates. Lugs are produced by matching one plate with another by means of pins inserted into the locating holes, and injecting a hardenable material into the valleys. This hardenable material is bonded to the opposite plate. The machining operation of the valleys is carried out in a manner to produce randomly spaced ridges along the side surfaces of the valleys which form depressions in the side surfaces of the lugs that are cast therefrom. Molds made from the respective pattern plates have valleys with ridges therein which have an interference fit with respect to lugs of a matching mold. |

Disclosed is a device for replacing patterns for molds disposed on a replaceable pattern supporting unit. The pattern unit is centered by a centering frame and supported on a lifting member. The lifting member is connectable to the bottom of the pattern supporting unit by a turnable locking flange biased downwardly by a spring or hydraulically. At the lowered position of the unit, the flange locks this unit to the pattern table and during the lift of the unit the flange becomes released.

A pattern plate is releasably fastened to a mold table or box of a molding machine in a locally fixed position by extending a guide or locating pin through a suitably dimensioned and located guide hole in the pattern plate, and providing a cam follower riding on a helicoidal surface provided on or coacting with one of the two parts to be fastened to each other. Turning of the cam follower and the helicoidal surface relative to each other causes pulling of the table or box and of the pattern plate against each other.
