ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is characterized by a mechanism for moving the tilt plate (45) laterally of the guide posts (38) to a loading position outside the operating area within the assembly so that the attachment surface faces sufficiently upwardly to allow a cope (36) and drag (34) defining a mold to rest thereon under the force of gravity. A plurality of crank arms (48) are fixed to and extend upwardly from one lateral edge of the tilt plate (45) to a distal end. A pair of hydraulic cylinders (51) are disposed above the movable platen (43) with a first connection (52) to the distal ends of the crank arms (48) and a second connection (53) to the movable platen (43) for rotating the crank arms (48) to thereby rotate the tilt plate (45) about a tilt axis (50) between an operating position within the assembly and the loading position outside the assembly and facing upwardly. A support ledge, defined by a plurality of removable stakes (46), extends upwardly from the attachment surface in the loading position for receiving and holding a mold against the force of gravity in the loading position while the mold is secured to the tilt plate (45) by cope clamps (47).
