Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002507498
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A mold block which is used in a moving mold tunnel comprises first and second mold block sections which meet at their parting faces to close the mold block. Each mold block section has a product shaping interior surface and an air movement passage having an entrance at the base of each mold block section, a first opening to the interior surface and a second opening to the parting face of each mold block section. An air flow controller is provided between the parting face opening and the interior surface opening of the passage in the first mold block section and an air flow controller is provided between the entrance and the interior surface opening in the passage in the second mold block section. Through various different positionings of the two air flow controllers, the mold block can be operated in any one of four different modes including a first vacuum forming mode in which air is withdrawn from the mold block through both of the mold block sections, a second vacuum forming mode in which air is withdrawn from the mold block through only one of the mold block sections, a third cooling mode in which air is introduced into the mold block through one of the mold block sections and is then withdrawn from the other of the mold block sections and a fourth blow molding mode in which pressure within the mold block is released through both mold block sections.
