  • Patent number: 11926083
    Abstract: The dating system for molds comprises a marking element (1) that engraves a determined date; wherein said marking element (1) comprises interchangeable inserts (2) indicating said determined date, said determined date being defined by letters and/or numbers, forming a line. It permits to obtain the advantages of: the reading of the information is much clearer than the traditional date stamps; it requires a minimum space, which allows to adapt it to practically any mold; and it is much more dynamic than traditional daters, as it can provide date information in multiple formats, such as day and month, or week and year number, or combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20210197422
    Abstract: The dating system for molds comprises at least one date stamp (12) connected to a knob (4) through a connection cable (1), wherein the date stamp (12) comprises an engraving formed only by numbers and/or letters and a position indicator. Furthermore, said knob (4) is mounted on a control block (2) comprising a reading engraving (3) located around said knob (4), in correspondence with the engraving of said date stamp (12). This makes it possible to manufacture date stamps with the information, without relief, since the simple contrast of the areas of the date stamp polished with high gloss and the nuanced numbers or letters, offer a visual contrast that allows clearly identifying the information that the date stamp must transmit.

  • Patent number: 10894347
    Abstract: A device for demolding parts includes a slider for housing a figure insert for the molding of a negative of the part to be molded. The slider is associated with a push rod, which can move the slider to an ejection position of a part to be molded. The device also includes a gas cylinder for driving the displacement of the push rod. The device eliminates an inclined guide and a safety wedge, saving a great deal of work and focusing all the machining only on a punch plate.
