the invention relates to a device for receiving and transporting molded parts in order to especially permit the removal of plastic molded parts produced in injection molding machines from the cavities , and to permit the transport of the molded parts through a number of work stations , without the use of separate handling systems . according to the invention , circulating transfer frames are provided from which retaining elements project and reach into the cavity to closely abut the mold . the molded part is bonded to the retaining element during injection molding of the molded part and is thus fixed in the transfer frame for transport to additional work stations . the molded part is removed from the retaining elements at the end of the transport line . in a modification , the molded part is molded directly or via intermediate pieces onto a circulating rope or a chain conveyor , or on rods mounted on a rope .
