Abstract: The method for the stepwise production and advancing of sand mold parts in a mold-string foundry plant comprising a station (1) for making mold parts, a pouring station (3) and a conveyor (2) for stepwise advancing of mold parts (101-109) from said station (1) for making mold parts towards said pouring station (3), includes the step of double indexing the mold parts using a first, moveable, part (21) of the conveyor. By double indexing the mold string, the time during which pouring into the molds has to be interrupted can be reduced.

Abstract: A sand core making machine is provided that includes at least one transfer tool by means of which the material for making the core is transferred when said transfer tool is moved to an operating position. The machine also includes a curing tool by means of which the material previously transferred by the transfer tool is hardened and which is arranged in an operating position over the material to perform the hardening once the transfer tool has moved out of its operating position. The machine includes at least one articulated arm for moving the transfer tool and the curing tool to the respective operating position.

Abstract: Machine for the production of sand molds comprising a machine structure with a molding chamber (3), a front plate (1) and a rear plate (2). The front plate (2) and rear plate (3) are arranged for pressing sand within said molding chamber so as to form a sand mold, and are arranged for receiving respective pattern plates (200) for providing front and rear surfaces of the sand mold with corresponding patterns. The machine further comprises a robot arm (6) arranged for replacing the pattern plates (200), said robot arm being (6) attached to the machine structure, such as to a side (101) of the machine structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mote molding machine which comprises a molding chamber (3), a front plate (1) closing the molding chamber at a front end and a rear plate (2) closing the molding chamber (3) at a rear end, opposite the front end. The plates shift gradually during the mote compression and extraction phases. The machine comprises a first shifting system for shifting the front plate and which comprises at least one first electric motor (4), and a second shifting system for shifting the rear plate and which comprises at least one second electric motor (5).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container cap and includes a container engaging section, a spout section, a closure member, and a slidable hinge assembly. The spout section comprises a protrusion extends from the top surface of the cap, at least one outlet opening formed adjacent to the top surface of the protrusion, and a dispensing tip that is located adjacent to the outlet opening. The slidable hinge assembly formed between the spout section and closure member connects the closure member and the spout section. The slidable hinge assembly comprises a hinge member and a guide member that is fitted into a guide rail integrally formed on the outer surface of the spout section for guiding the guide member. The closure member is coupled to the spout section with the hinge member and the guide member.

Abstract: It is applied in those processes in which it is required to modify the configuration of a first piece (1) for which, when joined to a second piece (2), for carrying out different tests, as is the case of measurements of aerodynamic properties of objects in a wind tunnel, it is required to modify the first piece, which implies modifying the coupling part of the second piece (2) on the first piece (1). The invention avoids manufacturing the complete second piece (2) with each new design of the first piece (1), for which the latter is designed and manufactured with a fixed configuration, valid for any possible configuration (1a, 1b) of the first piece (1) and which lacks the coupling part (3) with the first piece (1) in such a way that a third piece (3) is designed and manufactured corresponding to the coupling part between the configuration (1a, 1b) of the first piece (1) and the second piece (2) for carrying out the joint between both, with each design of the first piece.
