Abstract: A match plate mold-producing apparatus is provided with at least a pair of molding flasks for an upper and a lower sand mold. The pair of molding flasks is alternately positioned in a first mold-forming station in which a match plate carrying thereon a pattern or patterns is vertically held between a pair of squeezing devices movable toward and away from one another along a horizontal axis, and in a second mold-removing station in which mold-jointing operation and mold-removing operation are carried out by cooperation of a vertically movable flask-support device, a vertically movable mold-support device and a vertically movable mold-removing device.

Abstract: A match plate mold-producing apparatus is provided with a flask assembly which has a pair of molding flasks movable toward and away from one another along a fixed guide means, and a flask mover mechanically interconnecting between the pair of molding flasks and actuating movement of the molding flasks, the flask mover per se being arranged so as to be movable with the pair of molding flasks.

Abstract: A sand mold-producing apparatus having a sand blower for vertically supplying sand with the help of a first flow of a pressurized air into a molding cavity in which a match plate carrying thereon a pattern is positioned, and an air injecting means for laterally injecting a second flow of a pressurized air having a pressure equal to or smaller than that of the first flow toward the pattern, so that the second flow of the pressurized air carries the sand toward every lateral pocketed pattern portion of the pattern and corners adjacent to the pattern during the supply of the sand into the molding cavity.
