Apparatus including a fixed temporary stage for manufacturing molded product

An apparatus for manufacturing a molded product having a thin film, the apparatus comprising:

• an injection molding machine configured to form the molded product;
• a first conveying device, a second conveying device and a third conveying device, which are configured to convey the molded product;
• a film forming device configured to form a film on the molded product;
• said film forming device includes a chamber,
• a temporary stage configured to pool each molded product,
• wherein every shot of the injection molding machine, which is in the form of molded product, is conveyed to the temporary stage by the first conveying device,
• wherein a plurality of molded products, which are formed by a plurality of shots and pooled on the temporary stage, are conveyed to the film forming device by the second conveying device before the surface temperature of the molded product falls to 40° C. or less, and films are collectively formed on the molded products by the film forming device, and
• wherein the plurality of molded products, on which the films have been formed by the film forming device, are conveyed outside said chamber of the film forming device by the third conveying device;
• and
• a main rail disposed above the injection molding machine, the temporary stage, and the film forming device, and
• the first conveying device includes:
• a first main slide device that slides along the main rail,
• a first transverse rail orthogonal to the main rail and fixed to the first main slide device,
• a first transverse slide device, which slides along the first transverse rail, and which is connected to a vertical bar having a chuck at a lower end thereof,
• wherein the first conveying device is configured to convey the molded product from the injection molding machine to the temporary stage by a sliding movement of the first main slide device, each time an injection molding step is completed by the injection molding machine, and
• said temporary stage is stationary relative to said first conveying device and said second conveying device.
