Latest Patents
James D. Miessler holds a patent for an "Internal mold gating method and apparatus." This invention describes a process and apparatus for the internal gating of molds used to create shaped articles made from aggregate filler infiltrated with a curable binder. The method involves preparing a mold with a cavity and gating tubes that extend through the mold cavity, ensuring that the tubes are spaced from the mold surfaces. The gating tubes feature walls with multiple openings located inside the mold cavity. The cavity is dry-packed with aggregate filler, and liquid binder is pumped into the interstitial spaces, allowing the binder to enter through the tubes and progressively expand while expelling air from breather holes. The binder is then cured in the mold, either with the tubes in place or after they are removed and replaced with similar aggregate and binder. To prevent aggregate from entering the tubes before the binder is pumped, a snug-fitting rod can be inserted into each tube. The tubes can also be bent to follow the mold's contours, and the mold can be evacuated of air during the binder infiltration process.
