Molded product delivery apparatus and blow molding machine

A molded product delivery apparatus comprising:

• a first transfer member that transfers a molded product for use in blow molding;
• and
• a second transfer member that transfers the molded product at a higher speed than the first transfer member,
• wherein the first transfer member includes first paired chucks which are openable and closeable and which hold a portion of an outer wall of the neck portion of the molded product,
• wherein the second transfer member includes second paired chucks which are openable and closeable and which hold another portion of the outer wall of the neck portion of the molded product,
• wherein an area of the second paired chucks surrounding the neck portion is set wider than an area of the first paired chucks surrounding the neck portion, and
• wherein, from a state where the molded product is held by both of the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks simultaneously, by opening one of the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks without interfering with the other, the molded product is delivered between the first paired chucks and the second paired chucks.

A blow molding machine comprising:

• a plurality of paired chucks which are openable and closeable and which hold a neck portions of a plurality of molded products for use in blow molding, respectively;
• first and second transfer members movable while respectively supporting the plurality of paired chucks movably in an opening/closing direction, which is different from an arrangement direction in which the plurality of molded products are arranged;
• a first rail that guides the first transfer members along a transfer direction and a second rail that guides the second transfer member along the transfer direction;
• and
• first and second opening/closing drive parts that respectively drive the plurality of paired chucks to be opened and closed.
