Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a casting mold including a lower mold 4 fixed on a base 3 , a plurality of horizontal sliding molds 5 to 8 which slide freely on the base 3 between a mold-opening position and a mold-closing position, an upper mold 9 , and sliding mechanisms 12, 25 which slide the horizontal sliding molds 5 to 8 in the sliding directions. When sliding the horizontal sliding molds from the mold-opening position to the mold-closing position, the sliding mechanisms 12, 25 cause force to act on a lower section of the horizontal sliding molds 5 to 8 and prevent force from acting on an upper section of the horizontal sliding molds 5 to 8.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A casting mold comprising: a lower mold fixed on a base; a plurality of horizontal sliding molds which slide freely on the base between a mold-opening position and a mold-closing position, an upper mold; and sliding mechanisms which slide the horizontal sliding molds in sliding directions, wherein the sliding mechanisms cause force to act on a lower section of the horizontal sliding molds and prevent force from acting on an upper section of the horizontal sliding molds, when sliding the horizontal sliding molds from the mold-opening position to the mold-closing position. 2. The casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding mechanisms cause force to act on a center section of the horizontal sliding molds, when sliding the horizontal sliding molds from the mold-closing position to the mold-opening position. 3. The casting mold according to claim 2 , wherein, one of the plurality of sliding mechanisms is a connecting rod type sliding mechanism which is configured to cause the force to act via four connecting rods each being provided at four corners of one of the horizontal sliding molds on which the force is to be acted, and which is arranged behind another horizontal sliding mold opposing the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted, the connecting rod type sliding mechanism is configured to transmit the force to the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted via only two of the four connecting rods provided at a lower side, when sliding the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted from the mold-opening position to the mold-closing position, and the connecting rod type sliding mechanism is configured to transmit the force to the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted via the four connecting rods, when sliding the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted from the mold-closing position to the mold-opening position. 4. The casting mold according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of sliding mechanisms is a connecting rod type sliding mechanism which is configured to cause the force to act via four connecting rods each being provided at four corners of one of the horizontal sliding molds on which the force is to be acted, and which is arranged behind another horizontal sliding mold opposing the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted, the connecting rod type sliding mechanism is configured to transmit the force to the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted via only two of the four connecting rods provided at a lower side, when sliding the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted from the mold-opening position to the mold-closing position, and the connecting rod type sliding mechanism is configured to transmit the force to the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted via the four connecting rods when sliding the horizontal sliding mold on which the force is to be acted from the mold-closing position to the mold-opening position.
