Means for removing a molded component from a molding machine

摘要

Method and means for engaging a molded component by an externally positioned handling device during an injection molding operation and prior to the opening of the mold. A passageway is provided to the exterior of the mold from a mold cavity which latter may be a cavity for the forming of a molded part or it may be a runner, the sprue or some combination of two or more thereof. A handling device is positioned adjacent the mold to receive molten material from said passageway during the molding operation and thereby establish a solid connection from said handling device to said molding component. When the mold opens, said molding component may then be removed from the mold with control thereover retained by the handling device for such further processing as desired.
