Casting tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a casting tool for the production of castings (20), in particular a sand casting tool, comprising a mold element (12) having a mold recess (14b), which at least partly defines the contour of the casting (20) to be produced, an ejector holding device (40) which is movable in the direction of a Z-axis relatively to the mold element (12) and is disposed on the that side of the mold element (12) which faces away from the mold recess (14b), and at least one ejector rod (50), which is attached to the ejector holding device (40) and is capable of being inserted through an access bore (30) in the mold element (12), oriented in the direction of the Z-axis, so as to protrude into the mold recess (14b) for the purpose of pushing out the finished casting (20) from the mold recess (14b), wherein the attachment of the ejecting rod (50) to the ejector holding device (40) is effected in such a manner that the ejector rod (50) has restricted freedom of movement relatively to the ejector holding device (40) in the direction of an X-axis and/or in the direction of a Y-axis, which axes are orthogonal to each other and to the Z-axis, According to the invention, for the purpose of attaching the ejector rod (50) to the ejector holding device (40) the ejector rod (50) passes through a connection bore (44) in the ejector holding device (40) and at that region of the ejector rod (50) which is disposed on the freely accessible side of the ejector holding device (40) remote from the mold element (12) (40b), a first securing element (52, 54) is releasably connected to the ejector rod (50) to prevent the ejector rod (50) from being pulled out of the ejector holding device (40) toward the mold element (12).
