Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing muffles for producing dental prosthetic parts comprises a collar divided at least once in the peripheral direction to form a receiving space for an investment material in which at least one pattern for a dental prosthetic part is arranged before the filling with the investment material. At least one pattern holder simultaneously serves as a spacer for an injection plunger passage and a base part closes an open side of the collar. Holding means encompasses the collar to hold the collar together, with the collar being conical with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof at least in one section for simpler manufacture and better handling. The holding means includes at least one ring, in particular a rigid ring, which has a conical inner surface with which it is pushed onto the conical section in the collar.
