This invention relates to dental'casting machines suchas are used by dentistsin casting plates,,bridges, inlays or other restorations.
In machines of the character specified, a
cap is used for closingthe flask-inwhich the casting is to be'formed and comp'ress'edair is admitted to thelcap for the purpose of insuring aperfect casting and forcing the metal into all port-ions, of the mold cavity.
-The invention has for its salient object to provide a simple and practical construction of castingmachine ofthecharacter specified and, furthermore, a machine capable ofadjustment for use with difierent sizesoffiasks.
Another object of the invention is to pro- Vide a machine of the character specified, so constructed-and: arranged that the cap which fits over the top of the flask can readily aline itself with the plane of the upper edge of the flask body. I
Further objects of a part of this application, and in which Fig. 1 is an elevational view, partly in section, showing a casting machine constructed Y t and a mold cavity of the desired form and in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 1s a sectional ele'vatlon taken sub- 1 stantially. on'line 22 of Fig. 3;

The invention briefly described consists of. a casting machine having a support for, a. flask and a cap adapted to fit over the top of the flask. The cap is conne ted through suitable valve mechanisms to a compresed'airsupply, and means is provided for pressing the cap against the top of the flask and admitting,
-- air to the flask to force the gold or other metal i beingcast into thecavity of the desired con- ,formationin the flask. The means for moving thecapis so constructed and arranged as ;to provide a strong leverage and, further- .more, is so arranged that the; cap will autothe invention, will appear from the following specification taken 1n connection with the drawings, which form having an upper edge 22. v p n The flask 20 is invested with suitable mold fits over 1 the L ig. 5 1s a sectional elevation similar to I matically adjust itself to e position in alinement with the top of the'flaskand maybe adjusted in such a manner as to be used with flasks of different sizes and heights.

shapeis formed in theinvestiture. Molten metal is placed in the mold cavity and a cap is then placedover the moldand compressed air is admitted through thecap to the mold,
thus forcing the molten metalto completely fill the cavity in the flask. i d x In the form .of the invention illustrated, a-
are pivotedin allevergl. The lever 31 ,is pivotally connected at.,32 toa block 33, which in turn is slidablymoiint ed on 'a vertical postf34 carried by the sup; f porting base 13. The lever 31 is also pivoted at the rear end thereofto; a pair oflinksi tO which are pivoted at their opposite ends to a spindle 41,mounted ina block 42 which is threaded on a'threade d portion 43 of the post,

. the inner end ofwhich enters a'slot 45 formed in the post. A look nut 46 also holds the block in adjusted position."
' A y desired form oivalve control mecha- 'nism'may be used inthe machine and in the Q 51' formed in a tubularvalve casing 52 which j theupp n zend thereof and a collar, 56 suris threaded into the upper end of the collar 29. -A packing washer 53 surrounds the tubular member 28 and is positioned bet-ween I the thi'eadedendof 'thecasing 52 and the bottom of therecess in the collar 29 into which the casing iisithreaded.
LjT i tubular member 28 has a spindle 55.
