Claim:
An apparatus for taking out a molded product, comprising: a metal elevating shaft; a molded product retaining head attached to an end of the elevating shaft; and a fiber-reinforced plastic shaped material fixed with an adhesive onto each of a pair of opposed sidewalls of the elevating shaft that are provided opposite to each other in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the elevating shaft, the fiber-reinforced plastic shaped material being made by providing a fiber-reinforced section formed of a plurality of warp threads and a plurality of weft threads, impregnating the fiber-reinforced section with a thermosetting resin, and curing the thermosetting resin, wherein the plurality of warp threads and the plurality of weft threads are disposed on a surface of the sidewalls such that the plurality of warp threads are juxtaposed in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the elevating shaft and extend in the axial direction and the plurality of weft threads are juxtaposed in the axial direction and extend in a direction intersecting the axial direction.
