SUPPORT ASSEMBLY (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B29C33/38 

FIELD: various technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to production of polymer composite articles, in particular, high-precision articles of complex shape, and can be used in structures of a support assembly for supporting a shaping shell and adjusting its position relative to a frame in a composite shaping tooling. Support assembly comprises a rod, a plug or a ball support connected to the end portion of the rod and designed to interact with the forming shell with the possibility of rotation relative to it, retainer for interaction with frame profile, located on rod with possibility of movement along rod and fixation on it in specified position and providing retention of rod relative to profile of tooling frame with possibility of movement. Versions of the support assembly are disclosed.

EFFECT: providing flexible adjustment of geometry of forming shell during initial adjustment of tooling and during manufacture of articles with compensation of differences in thermal expansion of tooling elements.
