  • Patent number: 7942660
    Abstract: A device for mounting a mould in a machine (1) that comprises: a mould (2) composed of two half-moulds (2a, 2b), each of which comprises an active filtering portion (2ar, 2br) and a rigid structural portion (5, 6); a mounting platen (3, 4) for each half-mould (2a, 2b), movable towards and away from each other; the service plate (5) of the first half-mould (2a) is rigidly connected, in use, between the active portion (2ar) and the respective platen (3); the device comprises reference and quick connect means (7, 8) located in a region above the center of gravity of the first half-mould (2a), and acting between the platen (3) and the service plate (5) in order to fasten the first half-mould (2a) in a predetermined, hanging position correlated between the platen (3) and the plate (5).

  • Publication number: 20080299245
    Abstract: A unit for picking up ceramic products or the like comprises: a tray (2) associated with a movement unit (3); a sealing gasket (4) located along the perimeter of an operating wall (5) of the tray (2) and designed to work in contact with a surface (S) of the product (M); means (6) for generating a vacuum inside at least one first chamber (7) made by the operating wall (5) with the inside of the tray (2) and being in communication with at least one second chamber (7e) through the operating wall (5) which is permeable; the second chamber (7e) is perimetrically delimited by the gasket (4); vacuum is applied to the opposite and facing surfaces of the wall (5) and of the surface (S) of the product (M), respectively, when the gasket (4) comes into stable contact with the surface (S) in order to pick the product up; a porous interface element (8) permeable to air is located at least on the sealing gasket (4) and forms a surface that is more deformable than the gasket (4) and impermeable to liquids, or hydro repellent

  • Publication number: 20080296820
    Abstract: A unit for picking up ceramic products or the like comprises: a tray (2) associated with a movement unit (3); a sealing and contact element (4) located at least along the perimeter of an operating wall (5) of the tray (2) and designed to work in contact with a surface (S) of the product (M); means (6) for generating a vacuum inside at least one first chamber (C) made by the operating wall (5) of the tray (2) with the inside of the tray (2) itself and in communication with a second chamber (Ce) through the operating wall (5), which is permeable; the second chamber (Ce) is delimited perimetrically according to the surface (S) of the product (M) in such a way that the above mentioned vacuum is applied to the opposite and facing surfaces of the wall (5) and of the surface (S) of the product (M), respectively, when the element (4) comes into stable contact with the surface (S) in order to pick the product up; the contact and sealing element is composed of a body (4) having controlled porosity, associated with the
