A casting mould made of porous material for forming sanitary appliances, including a plurality of profiled parts which are coupled together to define a casting cavity mould said parts being separable from each other for removing a formed appliance from the mould, means for introducing a slip into the mould cavity at least one insert member cooperating with said mould parts to form at least one undercut region in said appliance, wherein said at least one insert member is associated with one of said mould parts by way of a support unit located inside the casting cavity and comprising two mutually movable members, one of which is fixed and secured to one mould part, and the other movable member supports said at least one insert member and is able to move between a first, casting position in which it arranges said at least one insert member in the configuration which enables it to shape said at least one undercut region, and a second, removal position in which it disengages said at least one insert member from said at least one undercut region.

Casting mould for forming sanitary appliances

A pressure casting apparatus for molding sanitary articles which comprises a frame member, a lifting mechanism mounted in said frame member for up and down movement relative to said frame member, a plurality of molds positioned adjacent to each other and below the lifting mechanism, each mold being constructed form two lateral mold components which extend laterally from adjacent locking rods, an upper mold component and a lower mold component, said upper mold component being suspended from the lifting mechanism, the lateral mold components extending from opposite sides of the locking rod, and the lower mold components being disposed below said lateral mold components, said lateral mold components and said lower mold components being mounted for lateral movement within said frame members, and means for laterally compressing the lateral mold components and the lower mold components together, whereby the lateral mold components extending laterally from adjacent locking rods and an associated lower mold component combined with the lowering of the upper mold component to define the mold chamber used in the pressure casting operation.
