Abstract
A mold for molding a product in a cavity formed by closing the mold includes a first half; a second half; and a plurality of aligning members which come in contact with each side circumferential surface of the first half 100 and the second half at least in three directions, when the mold is closed. After the mold is closed, at least one of the aligning members is moved to contact the aligning member with the each side circumferential surface of the first half and the second half, which enables a center axis alignment between the first half and the second half.
