Abstract

A molding tool including an edge-sealing profile designed to bind the surface section of a molded article which is not to be coated, and which is integral with the surface of the molding tool that is under compression when the tool is closed.

Claims

1. In a molding tool having oppositely facing first and second surfaces defining a mold cavity therebetween for the rubber injection coating of the outer rim of a circular disk, the improvement comprising:

means for sharply defining a boundary transition between said coating on said outer rim of said disk and the remaining surfaces of said disk, said means including oppositely facing, triangular cross-sectioned projections extending merely a fraction of a millimeter from said first and second surfaces, and which projections engage said disk sufficiently close to said boundary transition during injection of said coating to result in no noticable impression in said disk except upon removal of said coating.

2. The molding tool of claim 1 wherein said projections have isosceles triangular cross-sections.

3. The molding tool of claim 1 wherein said projections have right-angle triangular cross-sections.
