  • Patent number: 6530417
    Abstract: The object of the device is to provide a novel cam device applicable to sand molding machines in which the cam (1) has its active surface (2) facing downwards to prevent sand or dirt from being deposited between said cam (1) and the its supporting follower (10), which the machine is provided with to cause the swivelling of the said cam. For this purpose the cam (1) is hinged at a point (3) to a frame (4) which may move longitudinally, while on another point (5) it is hinged to a connecting rod (6) which is in turn hinged on its opposite end at the point (8) to the front swinging plate (7) of the sand mote molding machine, with said front plate (7) hinged at the point (9) on its rearmost edge to the frame (4).

  • Patent number: 4899803
    Abstract: The carriage comprises two sets of motor-driven rollers receiving and expelling the tools or boxes of cores. The carriage further includes a rolling frame having wheels driven by a reduction motor. A further reduction motor is provided in each of two operative sectors of the carriage, which activates a corresponding group of rollers through an intermediary transmission shaft. The carriage also has handling devices for the tools in order to permit and facilitate their periodic cleaning. The handling devices each include a support on which a tiltable arm is assembled, which is activated by a hydraulic cylinder. A plate is positioned on the arm on guides. The plate has clamps to secure the tool or box of cores. The plate is moved by a hydraulic cylinder. The structure may be used for boxes of cores with vertical opening and with the boxes having a horizontal opening as well.
