Abstract

Assembling and adhering two component parts of a lost foam pattern comprises placing each of the two components on separate supports which initially face in the same direction, following which one of the supports and the component supported thereby are rotated through substantially 180.degree. to a position in which the two components confront and face one another. Each component has an exposed surface which confronts the other. An adhesive is applied to the exposed surface of one of the components, following which the supports are moved toward one another a distance sufficient to enable the confronting surfaces to engage and bond to one another. Thereafter the bonded components are separated from their respective supports and removed. The separate components are placed on their respective supports and the bonded components removed from such supports at a level which is ergonomically appropriate for the machine operator.
