DEVICE FOR CLOSING OF MOULDS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: processing of plastics in machines for continuous casting. SUBSTANCE: device includes C-shaped frame of machine on both shoulders which plates for attachment of forming tools are positioned. At least one of them is mounted for longitudinal movement with the aid of moving mechanism. Breaking and closing efforts are absorbed by frame of machine due to expansion of frame. Plates for attachment of tools may rest against one or several horizontal bearing axes via elastically deformed members. At least one shoulder of frame of machine has thinning of cross-section. Opposite elastic deformation of shoulder emerges depending on closing or holding efforts. EFFECT: prevention of angular deviations of mounting platform of semi-mould of forming tools from its vertical working position. 13 cl, 6 dwg
