Synthetic-resin articles are injection molded with at least one stationary mold cavity on the stationary mold plate being alternately aligned with carriers on the mold-closure plate so that each article is entrainable by this plate into a working station in which, for example, it can be cooled. During the injection molding of one article in the mold cavity defined between the stationary mold half and one of these carriers, a previously molded article is solidified on the other carrier in a working station offset from the stationary mold half. The newly injected mass is retained in the mold cavity only until the surface regions have cooled and set and the plate is then laterally shifted perpendicular to the mold closing direction to carry the article having the set surface regions and still fluid core into a working station while the other carrier, from which the cooled article has been ejected, is aligned with the stationary mold cavity.

An injection molding apparatus comprising a stationary mold plate formed with a stationary mold element adapted to define a mold cavity; injection means communicating with said mold cavity through said stationary mold element for injecting a mass of synthetic-resin material into said mold cavity to form an injection-molded article; a movable mold plate displaceable toward and away from said stationary mold plate for mold-closing and mold-opening operation, said movable mold plate being formed with at least two sapced-apart movable mold elements each defining said mold cavity with said stationary mold element upon registry of the respective movable mold element therewith and advance of said movable plate in the mold-closing direction, said plates being further relatively shiftable to register each of said movable mold elements with said stationary mold elements alternately; a pair of work stations each adapted to receive a said article carried in one of said movable mold elements upon displacement of said movable plate in said mold-closing direction when the other movable mold element defines said mold cavity with said stationary mold element the work station being provided with an internal contour which corresponds substantially to the outer contour of the injection molded article but is spaced therefrom forming a cavity between said injection molded article and said work station; means to inject a coolant into said cavity means for retaining a mass in said mold cavity substantially only for a period sufficient to cool the surface regions of said mass to a temperature below the flow temperature thereof and then removing the resulting article from said cavity and transporting same into one of said working stations offset from said mold cavity while ejecting said previously formed article from its working station and simultaneously with the introduction of the article formed from said mass into one of said working stations, closing said mold cavity and injecting another mass of synthetic-resin material therein.
