Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a mold assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mold assembly which can form an inflated rubber product.




There are many types of molds to form cellular rubber cushions. However, it is cumbersome to assemble the conventional molds.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the present invention is to provide a mold assembly which can form an inflated rubber product easily.




Accordingly, a mold assembly comprises an upper positioning seat, an upper panel disposed in the upper positioning seat, a lower positioning seat, a lower panel disposed in the lower positioning seat, a first air cylinder disposed on a side of the lower positioning seat, a second air cylinder disposed on a bottom of the lower positioning seat, a third air cylinder disposed on a side of the upper positioning seat, and a fourth air cylinder disposed on a top portion of the upper positioning seat. A lower plate is disposed on a bottom of the upper panel. An upper plate is disposed on the lower panel. The lower plate engages with the upper plate. The lower plate has a first male mold and a first female mold. The upper plate has a second male mold and a second female mold. The upper positioning seat has two slide grooves receiving two laterals of the upper panel. The lower positioning seat has two slide recesses receiving two laterals of the lower panel. The first male mold matches the second male mold and the second female mold. The first female mold matches the second male mold and the second female mold. An air inlet rubber valve is connected to the first female mold. A blowing device is connected to the air inlet rubber valve.

A, a mold assembly comprises an upper positioning seat


30


, an upper panel


10


disposed in the upper positioning seat


30


, a lower positioning seat


40


, a lower panel


24


disposed in the lower positioning seat


40


, a first air cylinder


50


disposed on a side of the lower positioning seat


40


, a second air cylinder


60


disposed on a bottom of the lower positioning seat


40


, a third air cylinder


50




a


disposed on a side of the upper positioning seat


30


, and a fourth air cylinder


60




a


disposed on a top portion of the upper positioning seat


30


.




A lower plate


14


is disposed on a bottom of the upper panel


10


.




An upper plate


20


is disposed on the lower panel


24


.




The lower plate


14


engages with the upper plate


20


.




The lower plate


14


has a first male mold


22


and a first female mold


23


.




The upper plate


20


has a second male mold


12


and a second female mold


13


.




The upper positioning seat


30


has two slide grooves


31


receiving two laterals


11


of the upper panel


10


.




The lower positioning seat


40


has two two slide recesses


41


receiving two laterals


21


of the lower panel


24


.




The first male mold


22


matches the second male mold


12


and the second female mold


13


.




The first female mold


23


matches the second male mold


12


and the second female mold


13


.




An air inlet rubber valve


83


is connected to the first female mold


23


.




A blowing device


70


is connected to the air inlet rubber valve


83


.




When the first male mold


22


engages with the second female mold


13


and the first female mold


23


engages with the second male mold


12


, a first semi-finished product


82


is formed in the first female mold


23


and a second semi-finished product


81


is formed in the second female mold


13


.




When the female mold


13


engages with the first female mold


23


, the first semi-finished product


82


couples with the second semi-finished product


81


. The air inlet rubber valve


83


is inserted in the first semi-finished product


82


. A hot air passes through the blowing device


70


and the air inlet rubber valve


83


into the first semi-finished product


82


. Then the first semi-finished product


82


and the second semi-finished product


81


forms a cushion product.




Referring to

FIG. 4

, the cushion product


80


is disposed in a shoe. The air inlet rubber valve


83


is inserted in the cushion product


80


.

80


′ is disposed in a shoe. An air inlet rubber valve


83


′ is inserted in the last product


80


′.




Referring to

FIG. 7

, a cushion product


80


″ is disposed in a brassiere. An air inlet rubber valve


83


″ is inserted in the cushion product


80


″.




The invention is not limited to the above embodiment but various modification thereof may be made. Further, various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
