Reconfigurable mold having travelling separator assist

In an apparatus for selectively molding one of a plurality of different molded parts, including;

• a mold frame, an A-side frame coupled to said mold frame, and a B-side frame coupled to said mold frame;
• a first mold body having a first mold cavity therein, and a second mold body having a second mold cavity therein, said second mold body being selectably movable with respect to said first mold body to a first position where said second mold cavity is in communication with said first mold cavity and to a second position where said second mold cavity is spaced from said first mold cavity, both said first and second mold bodies being split along a part line so that each has a portion on one side of said part line coupled to said A-side frame and another portion on the other side of said part line coupled to said B-side frame, one of said A-side frame and B-side frame being a movable frame arranged to move in a direction toward said part line into a closed position wherein respective portions of said first and second mold bodies are in mutual mated engagement, and in an opposite direction away from said part line to an open position wherein said respective portions are separated,
• a traveling separator assist arranged in said A-side portion of said second mold body and operable to eject said molded part from said second mold cavity in said A-side portion only during movement of said movable frame to said open position, said traveling separator assist including a first elongated plate disposed in a conformal elongated opening in said A-side portion of said second mold body, said elongated plate arranged to move in a first direction toward said B-side under the urging of a resilient member and in a second opposite direction away therefrom, an ejector member carried by said elongated plate having an ejector edge for engaging and ejecting said molded part from said second mold cavity, wherein said molded part remains in said B-side portion thereof.
