ABSTRACT:
A method for making molded plastic forceps comprising two opposing elongate arms joined together at one end thereof including the steps of assembling a three-part mold consisting of a first part substantially in the plane of the first arm of the forceps, a second part substantially in the plane of the second arm of the forceps, and a third part between the two arms and defining thereon the construction of the inner surface of the forceps, for example, on one side thereof a mold for a male engagement element and on the other side thereof a mold for a non-apertured female engagement element, injecting a plastics material into the mold, waiting until the plastics material has cooled and contracted, opening the mold by moving first the first part and then the third part, whereby the forceps remains in engagement with the third part, and removing the forceps from the third part by pressing the inside of the joined end away from the mold. The invention also relates to forceps made by this method.
