Patent number: 8752612Abstract: A lightweight metal mold having a necessary hardness is realized. A plurality of bar-shaped members formed of an evaporative material and a plurality of connecting members formed of an evaporative material are prepared. Each of the connecting members has a spherical shape, and ends of a plurality of the bar-shaped members can be connected to each connecting member. Since a fixing angle of each bar-shaped member with respect to the connecting member can be adjusted freely, a three-dimensional mesh structure having various shapes can be formed. By combining the plurality of bar-shaped members and the plurality of connecting members, an evaporative pattern including the three-dimensional mesh structure can be assembled. By adjusting the shape of the three-dimensional mesh structure, the hardness necessary for the metal mold can be obtained, and the metal mold can be made lighter.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanori Sato, Masashi Takahashi, Mikine Katagiri, Akiji Kato, Sohei Mizutani, Kenichi Shichida, Tsuyoshi Nanba, Susumu Okabe, Isao Nojiri

Publication number: 20130291614Abstract: A lightweight mold for press forming is presented. Molds are characterized in that design forming portions thereof, these design forming portions making contact with a workpiece at the time of press forming and thereby forming a target design on the workpiece, are constructed of rod shaped members (design forming rods). By having the design forming portions be constructed of rod shaped members, the weight of the mold is reduced. It is preferred that the molds are further provided with supporting rods which support the design forming rods, these rod members constituting a framework structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoki Ichijo, Yoshiya Sato, Isao Nojiri
