  • Patent number: 9220925
    Abstract: A device and a method for the production of lipstick leads made of paste-like masses where, the device includes a chamber, a flexible mold part and a mold holder, and the flexible mold part is arranged in the chamber and paste-like mass is poured into the flexible mold part and can at least partially solidify in the flexible mold part and the at least partially solidified paste-like mass is removed with a removal device while elastically expanding the flexible mold part, and the mold holder is arranged for at least some of the time and at least partially in the chamber for holding part of the flexible mold part, so that the mold holder is moved relative to the flexible mold part, and the chamber can be filled with a heat transfer medium before and/or during the filling of the flexible mold part, and a negative pressure expands the flexible mold part in the chamber to remove the paste-like mass.

  • Patent number: 7790091
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for producing objects, for example lipsticks, that are molded from paste-like materials, while using an elastic mold part (28), into which the paste-like material is introduced by means of a filling device, is hardened, and from which the at least largely hardened object is removed by a removing device while said mold part is elastically stretched. It is provided a dimensionally stable housing element (12) for housing said mold part, wherein said housing element is held inside a stationary or moveable support of said device, wherein said mold part (28) is placed in a housing space of said housing element at least during the filling and removal process, and wherein said housing space can be enlarged for removing the object and/or a thin fluid layer is placed between said mold part and said housing element, which is removable from said housing element for the removal process.
