摘要

Disclosed is a device for moving plurality of articles simultaneously, comprising: (i)a movable pair of superimposable plates, a first plate comprising plurality of pins projecting outwardly from a major surface thereof and a second plate comprising holes for said pins to pass therethrough to penetrate a respective article and releasably engage therewith; and (ii)a mechanism for releasing or ejecting said articles. Disclosed also is a method for moving plurality of articles simultaneously comprising the steps of: (i) positioning a movable pair of superimposable plates on an array of moulds each filled with castable non-solid material where said pair comprises a first plate comprising plurality of pins projecting outwardly from a major surface thereof and a second plate comprising holes for said pins to pass therethrough; (ii) causing each said pin to enter the non-solid material inside a mould; (iii) cooling said non-solid material to form a solid article in each mould releasably engaged with its pins; (iv) moving said articles simultaneously from a first position to a second position; and, (v) releasing or ejecting said articles.
