Claim 15:
16. An injection molding system comprising:
a conveyor apparatus;
an injection molding apparatus;
an upper connection part; and
a lower connection part,
wherein the conveyor apparatus includes
an actuator configured to provide a force to move a mold between a first position in the injection molding apparatus and a second position different from the first position,
first support members configured to support a bottom of the mold,
a first support base configured to hold the first support members, and
a supporting structure configured to support the first support base;

wherein the injection molding apparatus includes
second support members configured to support a bottom of the mold, and
a second support base configured to hold the second support members; and
wherein the upper connection part and the lower connection part are configured to fix the conveyor apparatus with the injection molding apparatus such that a part of the injection molding apparatus that is closest to the conveyor apparatus and a part of the conveyor apparatus that is closest to the injection molding apparatus are spaced apart, such that the first support members are aligned with the second support members in a direction in which the mold moves when moving between the first position and the second position, and such that the first support base and the second support base are spaced apart,

wherein a first end of the upper connection part is fixed to the first support base and a second end of the upper connection part is fixed to the second support base, and
wherein a first end of the lower connection part is fixed to a base of the frame of the injection molding apparatus and a second end of the lower connection part is fixed to a base of the frame of the conveyor apparatus.
