Abstract

See full text

A mold, a molding machine, and a foamed molded body manufacturing method are provided that are capable of more reliably preventing ingress of foamed resin into a gas discharge hole using a gas-impermeable member and capable of adequately discharging gas inside the cavity to the cavity outside through the gas discharge hole during foam molding, and that are also capable of achieving good design characteristics in a foamed molded body. A gas discharge hole 5 is provided at a cavity 4 inner face of a mold 1 and discharges gas inside the cavity 4 to outside the cavity 4. A gas-permeable member 6 is disposed inside the cavity 4 of the mold 1 so as to cover the gas discharge hole 5, and a gas-impermeable member 8 is disposed on the gas discharge hole 5 side of the gas-permeable member 6 so as to face the gas discharge hole 5. A portion of the gas discharge hole 5, spanning at least from axial direction intermediate portion of the gas discharge hole 5 to the cavity 4 side of the gas discharge hole 5, is configured with a tapered profile portion 5a that increases in diameter on progression toward the cavity 4 side.
