Separating device for a mold comprising a chain of articulated links

A separating device for a mold used to produce a molded article in a molding cavity intended to allow the separation between at least one part of the molded article and at least one part of said molding cavity, said device comprising:

• an actuating device translatable along a first axis between a retracted position and a separated position,
• at least one separating element translatable along a second axis, different from the first axis, between a retracted position and a separated position,
• at least one transfer device connecting the actuating device and the separating element, said transfer device being arranged to move the separating element along the second axis between its retracted position and its separated position when the actuating device is moved along the first axis between its retracted position and its separated position,
• wherein the transfer device comprises at least two articulated links, one of which is attached and articulated to the actuating device and another of which is attached and articulated to the separating element with each link being attached and articulated to another of the links so that the links are rotatable relative to one another and relative to the actuating device and the separating element, and a guide element receiving said links, said links being moved along a movement path in said guide element by the actuating device and moving the separating element, said links being guided in said guide element over the entire movement path wherein each link comprises two flanks and a hinge pin, the hinge pin of one link being received between the two flanks of another link and being articulated to said flanks so as to allow said links to rotate relative to one another.
