Heavy-Duty and Extra Heavy-Duty "POP-OFF"® FLASKS
HINES HEAVY DUTY "POP-OFF" flasks are distinguished by their rugged construction-for long, trouble free service. Fixture-built for accuracy, they insure better molds and hold scrap to a minimum. And, they provide exclusive mechanical advantages-reinforcing ribs outside for strength, waffled design inside to anchor sand firmly-plus the familiar "POP-OFF" mechanisms that permit easy flask removal, without hammering, to help minimize flask maintenance.
These flasks may be equipped with either the regular No. 70 "POP-OFF" handles as in flask below, or the CA03 clevis closing mechanism shown at left. The clevis arrangement speeds up the opening and closing of flask sections, provides larger openings and eliminates the usual strain on flask and pins when flask is opened. Handles, trunnions and special reinforcing as required.
