  • Patent number: 3969965
    Abstract: A multiple mold forming machine includes a L-shaped vertical bed having a headstock positioned at one end in which are provided a plurality of rotatable spindles. The spindles rotatably support a plurality of mold blanks and a single master mold. At the opposite end of the bed positioned for longitudinal movement on a beam member secured to the bed is a carriage. The carriage is slidably mounted to the bed and is advanced toward and away from the spindles by operation of a ball screw assembly secured to the bottom of the carriage. A plurality of tool assemblies together with a tracing assembly are rigidly mounted on a cross slide which is arranged to move transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the bed. Each tool assembly includes a cutting element having a longitudinal axis aligned in co-planar relationship with the axis of rotation of a corresponding mold blank positioned on a spindle in the headstock.
