Abstract

The horizontal type casting machine is capable of facilitating installation of a water jacket core and providing sufficient fluidity of the molten metal without generation of gas defect in casting a water-cooled type cylinder block. In the horizontal type casting machine, a cavity for the cylinder block is oriented vertically in which a cylinder bore portion of the cylinder block is positioned up and a crank chamber is positioned down. The cavity is defined by a stationary die, a movable die and movable cores. A movable slide core is provided movable relative to the movable die. When the movable slide core is moved to its retracted position, large working space is provided for installing the water jacket core at a given position. By the retracted movement of the movable slide core, large working space can be provided, thereby facilitating installation of the water jacket core. Further, since the water jacket core is set in its suspended fashion, easy positioning of the water jacket core results.
