## Abstract

A nozzle for spraying the mold release agent and a holding body for holding the nozzle are included in the spray device. The holding body is so constructed as to fit in an opening of a mold casting device in which a tip end of a sleeve of a feeder fits in order to feed molten metal, and the nozzle is so held by the holding body that its tip end can be extended from the holding body for a desired length and can be turned in a desired direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for spraying a mold-release agent onto inside surfaces of a metal mold of a mold casting device and for feeding molten metal into the mold comprising (a) a nozzle for spraying the mold release agent, (b) a holding body carrying the nozzle, and (c) a feeder having a sleeve for feeding molten metal into the mold, wherein the holding body and the sleeve can alternatively extend to and fit in an opening of the mold casting device, and wherein the nozzle is extendible from the holding body to a desired length and turnable in a desired direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1 wherein the sleeve, which is extendible from the feeder, and the holding body are extendible in an alternating manner, and wherein the sleeve and the holding body are not extendible simultaneously.

### Claim 3

In a mold casting device comprising a metal mold having inside surfaces, a nozzle for spraying a mold-release agent onto the inside surfaces of the metal mold, and a feeder for feeding molten metal into the old, the improvement wherein the device further comprises (a) a holding body carrying the nozzle in an extendible and turnable manner and (b) a sleeve carried by the feeder, wherein the holding body and the sleeve alternatively extend to and fit in an opening of the device in order to deliver the mold-release agent and molten metal to the mold.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3 wherein the sleeve, which is extendible from the feeder, and the holding body are extendible in an alternating, but not simultaneous, manner.
