Apparatus for inserting a plurality of molding inserts into respective mold cavities of a multi-cavity mold, simultaneously, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an insert-holding arrangement for removably holding a plurality of generally annular inserts in spaced apart relation corresponding to the relative spacing of a plurality of cavities of a multi-cavity mold, the insert-holding arrangement including resilient-like projection members for frictionally securing respective ones of the annular inserts from the interior of the latter. The apparatus furthermore includes an insert-stripping arrangement operatively associated with the projection members and the inserts for stripping the latter simultaneously from their associated projection members to effect the simultaneous insertion of the inserts into respective mold cavities of the multi-cavity mold. |
