Bathtub And Shower Enclosure Patents (Class D23/275)
  • Mold for creating negative draft surfaces in molded items and method of molding
    Patent number: 10137604
    Abstract: A one-piece mold can be used to form molded items that incorporate features or encroachments with negative draft angles, and such molded items can be removed from the mold in a single piece by lifting, tilting, or pulling, or a combination thereof, without breaking the mold or the item to be molded. The mold and method of molding are suited to a bathtub or shower unit. The mold and method of molding permit the removal of molded items with negative draft angles by coordinating the angle of the sump front will and sump back wall with the angles of other encroachments in the molded item within specified ranges that permit one-piece removal of the item to be molded from the mold.
