ゴルフボールの高速注型
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5044517
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method of casting a cover layer about a golf ball core utilizing a single cavity mold that moves on a continuous conveyor, and the cover layers are cast without any "stop and go" or batch methods being involved. The continuous motion conveyor system is a closed loop system that provides for the automatic pre-heating of top and bottom mold halves and the depositing of a core into the bottom mold halve after a layer material such as urethane has been dispensed into the molds by an articulating module comprising of a plurality of dispensing nozzles. The nozzles translate in a tangential motion with the moving conveyor and dispense the cover material without any stoppage of the conveyor line. The method then assembles the mold halves into a single cavity mold without the use of bolts, but only employing clamping pins that use spring force for compression, and releasable retainers to lock the mold for the curing stage, and then unlocking he mold for the disassembling and product removal.
