Abstract
A method for manufacturing a molded article having an insert incorporated therein comprises the steps of providing a first mold half having a mold core portion and a second mold half having a mold cavity portion, providing a carrier plate having a holder for an insert and a device for receiving the molded article located on the same face, positioning the carrier plate with the insert thereon between the first and second mold halves when the first and second mold halves are in an open position so that the insert is aligned with the mold core portion, transferring the insert to a position adjacent the mold core portion, withdrawing the carrier plate from between the first and second mold halves, moving the first and second mold halves together so that the mold cavity portion substantially surrounds at least a portion of the insert and defines a mold cavity space with the mold core portion, and injecting molten material into the mold cavity space so as to form the molded article.
