Patent ID: 8678800

Claim:
An apparatus for molding and assembling a chamber unit for biomedical use, comprising a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate, which are mutually parallel and opposite and are allowed to move toward and away from each other, where said first supporting plate and second supporting plates are adapted for supporting mold parts of a first forming mold and of a second forming mold for the injection molding of thermoplastic material respectively in two molded parts of a chamber unit that are adapted to be mutually assembled, an assembly mold for the assembly, by overmolding additional thermoplastic material, onto said two molded parts of said first forming mold and said second forming mold, said assembly mold having retaining means for holding said two molded parts in said assembly mold, said apparatus having an element supporting device that is movable between said supporting plates by a first actuation means, said assembly mold being adapted to receive said parts from said first forming mold and said second forming mold to transfer said parts from said first forming mold and said second forming mold to said assembly mold, by said element supporting device that is directly slidingly associated, with at least one of said supporting plates, said element supporting device comprising at least one support and at least one supporting bar for supporting element holders, and having a slider between said support and said at least one supporting bar to render said supporting bar movable with an alternating stepwise rectilinear motion in a direction that is substantially parallel to said supporting plates by said first actuation means where said supporting bar is outside of the opening between said first supporting plate and said second supporting plate and first, second and third approach configurations, in which said element holders are extended within said opening respectively to receive said parts from said first forming mold and second forming mold before releasing said first mold part and said second mold part into said assembly mold.
