Abstract

Device consisting of an inner mold (15), an outer mold and at least one injection aperture arranged in the outer mold; for the manufacture of the corners of sealing frames, in particular tunnel sealing frames consisting in most cases of four assembled strand-shaped sealing profiles made of elastomeric material, whereby each sealing profile has open and/or closed grooves extending in the longitudinal direction and arranged on the profile base side, as well as additional ducts also extending in the longitudinal direction and disposed between the grooves and the profile back surface; whereby the manufacture of the corners of the sealing frames takes place according to the injection molding process. The essence of the invention lies in that the inner mold (15), viewed from the corner (16), is provided on both sides (17, 18) with additional mold inserts (24) as stops for the sealing profiles, whereby the mold inserts have bridges (25, 26) and pins (27, 28, 29) extending in the opposite direction to the corner (16) of the inner mold and, during the manufacture of the frame corners, close on the profile face all or at least part of the ducts. Introduced are another process variation as we…
