A method and machine for the injection molding of articles interlinked in the form of continuous chains or webs. A fixed or stationary mold section cooperates with a plurality of movable mold sections which are carried on a rotatable turret which is indexed cyclically to present the movable mold sections sequentially in cooperating relationship to the fixed mold section to create the mold cavities for successive cycles. The cavity portions in each of the movable mold sections connect with those in the succeeding movable mold section in end-to-end relationship. As a result, at the end of each molding cycle, the batch of molded articles is carried away from the fixed mold section by rotation of the turret, but its trailing end remains in communication with the mold cavities which are being filled in the succeeding molding cycle so that the leading end of the next batch of articles fuses to it to form one or more continuous chains of articles.
