Abstract
A mold-handling apparatus in which a pair of mold carriers can be locked together for the molding process but, upon separation, each tilts through 45.degree. to afford improved access to the mold halves following a molding operation or before a molding operation. According to the invention, the upper mold carrier is swung about a fixed axis by a fluid-operated cylinder while another fluid-operated cylinder shifts a slider vertically to lower the pivot of the lower mold carrier and enable the latter to engage abutments which tilt the lower carrier.
