Abstract: A mold apparatus for making multi-component products includes (i) a rotatable turret with a plurality of product connector pairs attached to opposite sides of the turret, (ii) a first mold disposed proximate to the turret and (iii) a second mold disposed on the opposite side of the turret. The first mold has a plurality of cavities for molding a first molded layer of the multi-component product, and the second mold has a plurality of cavities for molding a second layer onto the first molded layer. Each product connector is rotatable about its longitudinal axis to allow the mold apparatus to make multi-component products having first molded layers and second molded layers with indentations and/or protuberances disposed in a variety of orientations.

Abstract: A mold apparatus useful for making molded foam articles has a pair of independently operated mold modules, both fed by a single hot melt injection unit. In a preferred, but not necessary, embodiment, each of the opposed mold portions of each mold module is retained in its respective closed position by a simple mechanical latch. In such a preferred embodiment, it is further preferred that, in the closed position, the two mold portions of each mold module are separated by a narrow air gap to allow air to escape from each mold module during operation.

Abstract: The invention is a mold apparatus for making multi-component products. The apparatus includes an elongate turret, a plurality of product connection pairs attached on opposite sides of the turret, a first mold disposed proximate to the turret and a second mold disposed on the opposite side of the turret. The first mold has a plurality of cavities for molding a first molded layer of the multi-component product, and the second mold has cavities for molding a second layer onto the first molded layer. The turret is rotatable between the first mold and the second mold by rotation about its longitudinal axis of the turret.
