ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for handling and transferring an article formed in an injection molding machine includes a pair of spaced tracks. Inner ends of these tracks are positioned below a mold carried by the machine with the tracks positioned transversely to opening and closing movement of the mold by the machine. On these tracks is a slideable basket which may be moved from the track inner end to an outer end away from the machine. The basket is operatively connected to a pneumatic drive operated by a controller. During forming of the article, the basket moves under the mold. When forming is complete, the mold opens and the article ejected. The article falls into the basket which has a cushioney surface to inhibit damage. Opening of the mold is sensed by the controller to activate the pneumatic drive and move the basket and article to the track outer end where the article is removed. Concurrently the mold closes to begin a further forming cycle. The controller includes a timing device to reactivate the drive and return the basket to a position beneath the mold in time to receive the now formed further article.
