Apparatus for making foam products

Claim 1

Apparatus for producing products using polyurethane foams comprising a support base; a distribution plate assembly carried by the support base, said distribution plate assembly including a disk having a central distribution plate with a top surface and a peripheral wall thereon; a clamping plate assembly having a disk; a mold having a first surface engaging the peripheral wall of the central distribution plate, a second surface above said top surface of the distribution plate and an opening into the mold between the said first and second surfaces and aligned with the top surface of the distribution plate; means mounting the clamping plate assembly to move the disk thereof into and out of clamping engagement with the mold, said means comprising a pivoted support arm and pivot links interconnecting the support base and the pivoted support arm, and motor means for pivoting the pivoted support arm and clamping plate; means mounting the disk of the distribution plate assembly to rotate about a central axis of said distribution plate disk; means mounting the disk of the clamping plate to rotate about a central axis of said clamping plate disk; means to rotate the disk of the distribution plate assembly about said central axis thereof and to thereby rotate the mold and the disk of the clamping plate assembly; and means to supply resin components to the center of the central distribution plate, wherein rotation of the central distribution plate will evenly distribute the resin components to the opening of the mold.
