Abstract: Extensible gripper for clamping plastics material plates on thermoforming apparatus for on-line thermoforming the plastics material plates, in which supporting assemblies support slidably with respect to a central body, sliding blocks which can be driven to project from the side of the central body, thereby providing the gripper with a length which can amount to twice the length of the central body, while providing the required gripping mechanical force on the head portions of the plastics material plates.

Abstract: A mold (10) for molding thin resin sheets includes a center mold plate (12) and two side mold plates (14, 16) disposed on opposite sides of the center mold plate. The mold plates are oriented generally vertically and parallel to each other, and the side mold plates are narrowly spaced from the center mold plate to define a pair of generally vertical mold cavities (18, 20) on either side of the center mold plate. The side mold plates may optionally include recesses (51) in their generally planar mold surfaces (38, 40) adjacent at least one longitudinal edge of the plate, for molding thin resin sheets with integral edge flanges. The mold includes spacer strips (46, 47) for spacing the side mold plates a precise distance from the center mold plate and parallel thereto. The mold thus permits molding of thin resin sheets having precisely controlled uniform thickness.

Abstract translation: 用于模制薄树脂片的模具（10）包括设置在中心模板的相对侧上的中心模板（12）和两个侧模板（14,16）。 模板通常垂直并且彼此平行，并且侧模板与中心模板间隔开狭窄，以在中心模板的任一侧上限定一对大致垂直的模腔（18,20）。 侧模板可以可选地在其与板的至少一个纵向边缘相邻的大致平面的模具表面（38,40）中包括凹部（51），用于模制具有整体边缘凸缘的薄树脂板。 模具包括间隔条（46,47），用于将侧模板与中心模板隔开并与其平行的距离。 因此，模具可以模制具有精确控制均匀厚度的薄树脂片材。

Abstract: An apparatus comprising first fluid supplying means for supplying inflating fluid to between opposite portions of thermoformable material, first and second parts for receiving said portions between them, one of the parts being in the form of a shell defining a recess having a surface against which said inflating fluid presses one of said opposite portions driving means operable to bring the shell into a closed conditions relative to the other part and to maintain the shell in said closed condition, and second fluid supplying means arranged to supply operating fluid to said driving means, wherein the driving means and the second fluid supplying means are pneumatic. A method comprising providing first and second parts one of which is in the form of a shell, supplying operating fluid to driving means to translate the shell towards the other part, with opposite portions of thermoformable material being received between the first and second parts, to bring the shell into a closed condition relative to the other part, and supplying an inflating fluid to between said opposite portions to inflate said opposite portions while said driving means maintains said shell in said closed condition, wherein the operating of said driving means to bring the shell into said closed condition and to maintain the shell in said closed condition in pneumatic.
