Latest Patents

Kitou is credited with 1 patent: “Method of Producing a Metal Mold.” The invention describes using negative pressure to press a heat-resistant sheet closely against the shaped surface of a matrix, such as a wooden pattern or resin model. The matrix is then brought into contact with molten low-melting-point alloy, which cools to form one part of a mold. After removing the original matrix, the newly cast mold part serves as a matrix for producing its counterpart through a similar process.

Career Highlights

Kitou’s documented patent highlights a practical approach to making paired metal molds. The method uses a heat-resistant sheet and a low-melting-point alloy to reproduce the matrix’s configuration.

Collaborations

Kitou’s listed coworkers include Hiroshi Sarai and Hiroshi Mihara. The available information identifies them as coworkers but does not specify their roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Satoru Kitou’s patent presents a method for producing paired metal molds by combining negative pressure, a heat-resistant sheet, and a low-melting-point alloy.
