ABSTRACT:
A molding machine including a mold for molding articles of plastic in the molding machine and apparatus for removing the molded articles from the molding machine. The mold includes molding elements movable by the molding machine in a first dimension between a closed conformation where the molding elements define cavities in which the articles are molded and an open conformation where the molding elements are separated from each other by a distance sufficient to permit release of the molded articles in a space between the molding elements. A first molding element includes channels situated on opposite sides of the molded articles for receiving the article removing apparatus while the molding elements are in the closed conformation. A cam track is fixed to the first molding element and a cam coupled to article holders is engaged in the cam track to move the article holders elements from a position aligned with the channels toward engagement with the molded articles as the molding elements open. A boom is coupled to the second molding elements and a trolley is coupled for linear movement along the boom, the article engaging elements being coupled to the trolley for movement out of the molding machine when it is open and into the channels when the molding machine is closed.
