PROJECTION MOLDING MACHINE

摘要

An injection moulding machine especially for moulding shoe components is provided with a mould-assembly clamp means 62 for conveying an assembly 10 between stations of the machine and mould-assembly opening means at a loading/unloading station 16 comprising a mechanism 72 which lifts a top part 22 of the assembly off a bottom part 20, inverts it and places it alongside the bottom part so that an operator is presented with the two parts 20, 22 face-upwardly and side-by-side thus giving ready access for the removal of moulded articles and placements of inserts for subsequent moulding operations.
