Abstract

A cassette mold holder (7) has a cassette mold insertion portion (12) into which a cassette mold (14) is inserted from above. The insertion portion (12) is inclined with respect to a vertical line (VL) by about 6.degree. when the holder (7) is attached to an injection molding machine. An insertion port (121) of the insertion portion (12) is large, and the inside surfaces (12b, 12c) adjacent to the insertion port have tapered surfaces (12d, 12e) respectively to guide the cassette mold into the insertion hollow portion. Since the insertion portion (12) is inclined, when the cassette mold (14) is inserted, one of the inside surfaces (12b) and the bottom (122) function as reference surfaces to position the cassette mold automatically. Further, the cassette mold (14) can be inserted easily along the tapered surfaces (12d, 12e).
