Mold for comb

Apparatus for molding a comb from plastic, comprising:

• (a) a first mold half having a first flat surface onto which opens a cavity for an elongated comb back,
• (b) a plurality of spaced walls perpendicular to the long direction of said cavity and protruding from the flat surface of the first mold half and having a space between each adjacent pair leading to the the cavity, and
• (c) a second mold half similar to the first mold half having a second flat surface into which enters a cavity which is the mirror image of the first-mentioned cavity and having spaced walls that protrude beyond said second flat surface and are spaced from and lie between adjacent walls of the first mold half when the flat surfaces are in engagement, the walls being of such a length that the outer edges engage the surface of the opposing cavity to form a seal therewith, the spaces between the walls of one mold half and adjacent walls of the other mold half defining comb teeth forming cavities.
