Abstract
In a production apparatus ( ), after rear holders ( ) and a housing body ( ) are molded by molding die cavities, slides ( ) are moved apart from the housing body ( ). Then, cylinders ( ) are driven to move the rear holders ( ), holders ( ) and the slides ( ) together with slide plates ( ), so that the rear holders ( ) are located in opposed relation to the housing body ( ). Then, cylinders ( ) are driven to move the rear holders ( ) toward the housing body ( ), thereby provisionally retaining the rear holders ( ) on the housing body ( ). Therefore, the amount of movement of the slides ( ) is small, and it is not necessary to provide any space for holding the slides ( ), moved into their respective stand-by positions, and therefore the small-size design of the production apparatus can be achieved, and also the production efficiency can be enhanced.
