Mold for the manufacture of sporting helmets and relative process for molding such sporting helmets

A process for molding sporting helmets, in particular cycling helmets, comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one frame of a mold defining at least one molding concavity, for molding at least one respective sporting helmet;
• preparing at least one counter frame of the mold engageable to the frame to hermetically close the respective molding concavity and allowing an execution of at least one molding cycle;
• preparing at least an intermediate support element for supporting and positioning one or more components of the sporting helmet to be manufactured inside the respective molding concavity of the frame of the mold;
• placing one or more components of the sporting helmet to be manufactured in a first portion of the intermediate support element according to respective predetermined positions;
• positioning the intermediate support element inside the respective molding concavity of the mold frame with the first portion facing said molding concavity to position the components of the sporting helmet to be manufactured in the respective molding concavity according to respective predetermined positions;
• blocking the intermediate support element inside the respective molding concavity according to the previously determined position;
• engaging the counter frame of the mold to the frame of the same to hermetically close the respective molding concavity in correspondence with a second portion of the intermediate support element opposite the first portion;
• starting a molding cycle by injecting a corresponding molding material;
• disengaging the counter frame of the mold from the frame of the same to access the respective molding concavity and the respective intermediate support element, when the molding cycle is completed;
• releasing the intermediate support element from the respective molding concavity;
• removing the intermediate support element from the respective molding concavity of the frame of the mold together with the respective manufactured sporting helmet;
• separating the intermediate support element from the respective manufactured sporting helmet;
• repeating the process again.
