Mounting structure for apparatus for taking out molded product

A mounting structure for an apparatus for taking out a molded product, configured to fixedly mount the apparatus onto a fixed platen of a molding machine or a mounting base fixedly attached onto the fixed platen, the apparatus for taking out a molded product from the molding machine, including a support member for a lateral frame, the support member including:

• a bottom plate disposed along an upper surface of the fixed platen of the molding machine or an upper surface of the mounting base;
• a pair of side plates each having an upright wall portion and an extended wall portion wherein the upright wall portions extend upright respectively along one pair of opposed sides of the bottom plate and the extended wall portions extend in a lateral direction from the upright wall portions;
• a top plate facing the bottom plate and connected to the pair of side plates wherein the lateral frame is supported on the top plate by the support member;
• and
• a first reinforcing plate and a second reinforcing plate disposed with a predetermined spacing therebetween in a direction of arrangement of another pair of opposed sides of the bottom plate that are different from the one pair of opposed sides, and connected to at least the bottom plate and the top plate, wherein a first through hole row of a plurality of through holes and a second through hole row of a plurality of through holes are formed in the bottom plate respectively along the first and second reinforcing plates,
• the mounting structure for an apparatus for taking out a molded product being configured such that the apparatus for taking out a molded product is fixedly mounted onto the fixed platen of the molding machine or the mounting base fixedly attached to the fixed platen by inserting a plurality of bolts into the plurality of through holes in each of the first and second through hole rows and a plurality of threaded holes formed in the fixed platen or the mounting base to be opened in the upper surface with the plurality of through holes in each of the first and second through hole rows being aligned with the plurality of threaded holes, and by screwing threaded portions of the plurality of bolts into the threaded holes, wherein:
• the bottom plate includes a flange portion located in a direction opposite to a direction in which the extended wall portions of the pair of side plates extend, and formed to extend in the opposite direction further from the first reinforcing plate;
• the first through hole row is formed in the flange portion, and the second through hole row is formed in a portion of the bottom plate along the second reinforcing plate;
• and
• the upright wall portion of at least one of the pair of side plates is formed with a work window configured to allow a worker, who is at a location at which the worker can insert the plurality of bolts into the plurality of through holes in the first through hole row, to insert the plurality of bolts into the plurality of through holes in the second through hole row without changing the worker's location.
