Abstract
Apparatus for dispensing individual inserts into proper position for subsequent molding operation includes a feed tube extending normal to the closing axis of the mold at the position of the insert and a feed track leading from a hopper to intersect the feed tube. A transfer pin associated with each feed tube, and secured to the molding mechanism, drives an insert from the feed track through the feed tube into position within the mold. A lever assembly in the mold, and actuated by the activation thereof, allows only a single insert to drop through the feed track for each closure of the mold.
