Abstract

A device for handling spider-like sprues, includes a first support forming a first plane, the first support including a supporting device for supporting a wax spider-like sprue; a second support forming a second plane, the first support and the second support forming a first pre-determined angle (α 1 ); a first connection system between the first support and the second support; a third support forming a third plane, the second support and the third support forming a second pre-determined angle (α 2 ); and a second connection system between the second support and the third support.

Claims (48)

1. A device for handling wax spider-like sprues, comprising:

a first support lying in a first plane, said first support comprising a supporting device to support a wax spider-like sprue;

a second support lying in a second plane, said first support and said second support forming a first determined angle α 1 ;

a first connection system between said first support and said second support;

a third support lying in a third plane, said second support and said third support forming a second determined angle α 2 , and

a second connection system between said second support and said third support,

wherein the first determined angle α 1 and the second determined angle α 2 are selected so that the first and third planes are nonparallel to each other.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first connection system has a radius of curvature such that the device can tilt on the first support or on the second support, and

the second connection system has a radius of curvature such that the device can tilt on the second support or on the third support.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting device includes an orifice into which a hinge pin of the wax spider-like sprue can fit.

4. The device according to claim 3 , comprising a translation blocking system for blocking the wax spider-like sprue in translation.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the translation blocking system consists of a projecting shoulder in the orifice adapted to cooperate with an external shoulder formed on the hinge pin of the wax spider-like sprue.

6. A device for handling wax spider-like sprues, comprising:

a first support lying in a first plane, said first support comprising a supporting device to support a wax spider-like sprue;

a second support lying in a second plane, said first support and said second support forming a first determined angle α 1 ;

a first connection system between said first support and said second support;

a third support lying in a third plane, said second support and said third support forming a second determined angle α 2 ,

a second connection system between said second support and said third support, and

a rotation blocking system for blocking rotation of the supporting device of the wax spider-like sprue.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the rotation blocking system is a friction screw adapted to bear on the supporting device of the wax spider-like sprue.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first support has a U-shaped tubular structure,

the second support is formed from two tubes,

the third support has a U-shaped tubular structure,

the first connection system is formed from two tubular bends, each tubular bend cooperating:

at a first end with an end of a tube of the first support, and

at a second end with a first end of a tube of the second support;

the second connection system is formed from two tubular bends, each tubular bend cooperating:

at a first end, with a second end of a tube of the second support, and

at a second end, with the end of a tube of the third support.

9. A device for handling wax spider-like sprues, comprising:

a first support lying in a first plane, said first support comprising a supporting device to support a wax spider-like sprue;

a second support lying in a second plane, said first support and said second support forming a first determined angle α 1 ;

a first connection system between said first support and said second support;

a third support lying in a third plane, said second support and said third support forming a second determined angle α 2 , and

a second connection system between said second support and said third support,

wherein the first determined angle α 1 is between 20 and 70 degrees.

10. A device for handling wax spider-like sprues, comprising:

a first support lying in a first plane, said first support comprising a supporting device to support a wax spider-like sprue;

a second support lying in a second plane, said first support and said second support forming a first determined angle α 1 ;

a first connection system between said first support and said second support;

a third support lying in a third plane, said second support and said third support forming a second determined angle α 2 , and

a second connection system between said second support and said third support,

wherein the second determined angle α 2 is between 20 and 70 degrees.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the first determined angle is 45 degrees.

12. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the second determined angle is 45 degrees.

13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting device is connected to a first and a second member of the first support, the first and second members separated by, and connected to, a third member of the first support so that the first, second and third members lie in the first plane.
