Appeal No. 95-4866 Application 08/179,770 Rossetti discloses an apparatus for making cast polymer sheets (col. 1, lines 11-13). The apparatus includes a housing having therein a number of hollow metal plates which are in a substantially vertical, parallel orientation and are laterally moveable (col. 2, lines 32-41; col. 4, line 64 - col. 5, line 10). Each pair of hollow metal plates has therebetween a pair of glass plates, wherein each glass plate is detachably attached to a surface of a hollow metal plate (col. 2, lines 45-51; col. 5, lines 11-16). The hollow metal plates have spacers to facilitate adjustment of the distance to the next metal plate and thereby adjust the distance between the glass plates (col. 3, lines 9-12; col. 6, lines 55-58). After the spacers have been adjusted and casting liquid pored into the glass molds, the entire assembly is pushed together in the manner of a filter press (col. 3, lines 13-17; col. 6, line 55 - col. 7, line 15). During polymerization, fluid flows through the hollow metal plates to maintain a uniform temperature distribution (col. 3, lines 28- 36). SOMECAL discloses a molding apparatus for making concrete beams, which includes a number of vertical walls which move 7Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
