PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molded article transfer mechanism used with an injection molding die.SOLUTION: An in-mold shutter 140 embedded in an injection mold 100 includes a shutter actuator that is configured to selectively engage a first mold shoe 130 of the injection mold 100 with a platen of a mold clamping assembly to hold the first mold shoe 130 in an extended position E, along a mold-stroke axis X, during a step of molding a first molded article in the injection mold 100. A molded article transfer mechanism 150 for use with the injection mold 100 includes a shuttle 154 that is slidably arranged, in use, within the injection mold 100. The shuttle 154 defines a first aperture 156A, at least in part, that alternately accommodates: (i) a first mold stack 106A arranged therein, and (ii) a first molded article received therein with opening of the first mold stack 106A. |
