Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A device for automatically removing a plastic article from the mould of an injection moulding machine having a pair of die halves, comprising a grab supported near the mould part of the machine for removing. and discharging a synthetic plastic article; means for moving said grab; said grab having a range covering the entire space formed by the open die halves; a lateral transfer and support member; means for moving said lateral transfer and support member; said transfer and support member having a range outside the operative area of the injection moulding machine for receiving said articles from the grab and discharging said articles beyond the machine; an actuating means comprising at least one moving part on the grab which sets the lateral transfer and support member into motion; the lateral transfer and support member comprising a laterally movable flat plate upon which the moulded articles are transferred externally of the machine; the range of said plate of the lateral transfer and support member intersecting the range of said grab to effect the article discharge; and means for increasing the moving speed of the grab when the die halves are partially open whereby the time between entirely open die halves and entirely closed die halves is minimized.
