Patent number: 7059845Abstract: The element has at least one porous permeable impression surface, on which the clay slip is deposited. A drainage system for the slip fluid is provided having a relatively thin, empty or porous chamber in the form of a slab which is incorporated into the body of the mould element itself, is disposed within the range of drainage action of the impression surface, and has a degree of porosity greater than the front part of the body delimited between said thin chamber and the impression surface, evacuation means connected to said thin chamber being provided to evacuate the drained fluid collected by the chamber. In particular, said thin chamber is disposed substantially parallel to the impression surface at a relatively short distance therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Sacmi Cooperativa Meccanici Imola Societa CooperativaInventors: Vasco Mazzanti, Paolo Figliano
