  • Patent number: 10486339
    Abstract: A rubber article mold capable of discharging air from a molding-surface side to a back-surface side during curing while suppressing the entry of rubber into an air vent hole and a method for producing such a rubber article mold are provided. The rubber article mold includes air discharge means for discharging air from a molding-surface side for molding a rubber article to a back-surface side. The air discharge means is formed as an annular hollow penetrating from a molding surface to a back surface of the rubber article mold. The annular hollow has an inflow area where the air on the molding-surface side flows in, a discharge area for discharging the air having flowed in from the inflow area to the back-surface side, and an intermediate area communicating with the inflow area and the discharge area and smaller or larger in diameter than the inflow area and the discharge area.

  • Publication number: 20180133932
    Abstract: A rubber article mold capable of discharging air from a molding-surface side to a back-surface side during curing while restraining entry of rubber into an air vent hole and a method for producing such a rubber article mold are provided. The rubber article mold including portions for discharging air from a molding-surface side to a back-surface side, including a hole penetrating from a molding surface to a back surface of the mold and a valve member within the hole to provide a predetermined clearance between the valve member and a hole wall forming the hole. The hole has an inflow area where the air on the molding-surface side flows in, a discharge area for discharging the air flowed in from the inflow area to the back-surface side, and an intermediate area smaller in diameter than the inflow area and the discharge area and communicating with the inflow and discharge areas.
