The present invention provides a parting locking device configured such that a locking member can be uncoupled from a base holder even with a locking bar inserted in the locking member, and the locking bar stably moves. The locking bar includes a thick-walled and thin-walled portions. In a first state in which the thick-walled portion is located between an engagement element and the inner surface of a bar inserting hole, and in a third state in which the locking bar is pulled out of the locking member, the engagement element is moved to first or second engagement element paths, and the locking member is uncoupled from the base holder. In a second state in which the thin-walled portion is located between the engagement element and the inner surface of the bar inserting hole (9), the engagement element is engaged with engagement recesses, thereby keeping the locking member coupled to the base holder.

Provided are a mold allowing smooth removal of a molded article therefrom without deforming the molded article, and a method of producing the molded article using the mold. The mold includes a first mold piece (A), a second mold piece (B), and a plurality of third mold pieces (C). One of the first mold piece (A) and the second mold piece (B) has a protrusion cavity surface (2f) that protrudes toward the third mold piece (C) from a mating surface (1a) to contact with the third mold piece (C) and shapes an external profile of the molded article (Ma) together with a cavity surface (3f) of the third mold piece (C) when the mold pieces are clamped with each other.

The present disclosure relates to a tool used to producing anatomical phantoms. The tool includes an inner flexible mold which sits inside a rigid, thermally conductive outer shell. The rigid shell may be made out of aluminum. The silicone mold and thermally conductive shell both include at least two interlocking components. The shell is held together by a locking mechanism which can expand upon internal pressure. An anatomical phantom is produced from polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel by freezing and thawing a PVA liquid precursor in the silicone mold and demolding it.

Provided are a production method of a mold having a recessed pattern, and a manufacturing method of a pattern sheet having good accuracy and excellent productivity. The production method of a mold includes: a step of preparing an electroform having a protruding pattern and a mold having a first mold and a second mold forming a cavity; a step of fixing the electroform excluding an end portion of the electroform to the first mold; a clamping step of clamping the electroform excluding the end portion of the electroform and a region of the protruding pattern between the first mold and the second mold to form the cavity; and an injection step of filling the cavity with a resin.

A toggle mold closure assembly for injection presses includes: fixed, mobile and reaction planes, mounted on columns; a control unit of the toggle, having four pairs of levers, arranged symmetrically at two sides, in upper and lower parts of the structure, interconnected by a pin and to the reaction plane and mobile plane by respective pins; and an actuation unit of the control element. The control unit is placed on the axis of the toggle in the middle of the pairs of main side levers, which have an outward movement. The control unit is connected, by control connecting rods, to the levers of the toggle connected to the reaction plane, and is placed between the central connection pin of the levers and the reaction plane. The control unit is provided with heads for connection to the connecting rods external to the reaction plane and turned towards the reaction plane.

Fixtures and related system and methods are disclosed. In accordance with an implementation, a method includes applying a resin onto a substrate and positioning the substrate on over a chuck of a base of a fixture. The method also includes moving a mold into engagement with the resin and curing the resin. The method also includes detaching the mold and the resin and, while detaching the mold and the resin, determining a detachment force applied as a function of a distance of detachment between the mold and the resin.

A tie-bar-less clamping unit for a moulding machine includes a machine frame formed for absorbing clamping forces, and a fixed platen arranged stationary in relation to the machine frame. A movable platen can move relative to the machine frame, and at least one push rod is preferably arranged substantially centrally with respect to the movable platen. At least one pressure pad is arranged between the push rod and the movable platen.

A containment jig (A) is disclosed of a holding apparatus for household appliance cabinets in a foaming system and its related locking mechanism, which includes holding walls (1, 2, 4), provided with a base edge and a free edge, apt to withhold a pressure force, basements (B1, B2), mutually approachable between a spaced relative position and a close relative position, which the base edges of said holding walls (1, 2, 4) are attached to locking means to constrain said free edges of said holding walls (1, 2, 4) to an opposite one of said basements (B1, B2) when they are in said close relative position, said locking means including, on one hand, one or more locking prongs (5, 6) and, on the other hand, corresponding matching seats, at least one of said locking prongs and said matching seats being mounted adjustable in position by a control.
