Abstract
Vents for molds can be improved if, in place of a single relatively large vent opening, there is used a vent which has a plurality of relatively smaller vent openings in which the cumulative cross-sectional area of the relatively smaller vent openings are approximately the same as that of the relatively larger vent opening it replaces. It was also found that the vents have a more efficient self-cleaning capability if the ratio of the depth of each vent opening to the cross-sectional diameter of the vent opening is about 1 or less.
