Patent ID: 8360764

Claim:
An apparatus for producing a product comprising: a first processing level which is formed by a fixed first mold half and a second mold half which is displaceable in a first direction; a second processing level which is formed by the second mold half and a third mold half which is displaceable in the first direction, wherein the second mold half is of cuboidal design having on two opposite sides cavities; a transfer system which is attached to the second mold half and which includes several cantilevers to transport parts formed on the first processing level onto the second processing level, wherein each of said cantilevers are fastened to a cantilever arm arranged substantially perpendicular to and rotatable about an axis of rotation, said cantilever arms having an adjustable length in radial direction whereby parts made on the first processing level can be lifted out of a first cavity and brought into a further cavity of the second processing level, wherein the second mold half is divided into lower and an upper half and the cantilever arms are arranged in a slot-shaped opening between the lower and the upper half; each cantilever extends across the lower and the upper half and comprises several part retaining means which engage with respect to cavities of the first processing level, or form a region of the cavities; and wherein the part retaining means include a cross-section that corresponds to a corresponding cross section of depressions of the second mold half, the part retaining means engageable with the cavities so that parts temporarily stick to the part retaining means such that the parts are transported from the first processing level onto the second processing level.
