Abstract
A cooling fixture for molded components includes a support surface, at least two brackets coupled to the support surface, and at least one roller having a central axis. The roller is coupled between the brackets for rotating about its central axis and is positioned for contacting a portion of a molded component and rotating about its central axis as necessary to align the molded component and substantially inhibit gouging of the molded component when the molded component is placed in the cooling fixture for cooling. Additional cooling fixtures and related methods are also disclosed.
