Abstract: An apparatus (10) for molding metallic articles such as wheel weights (11). Opposed mold sections (108, 109) are carried on support plates (41, 42) that are movable within a stanchion (40) by virtue of an actuating means (45). A feed mechanism (115) delivers mounting clips (18) to one of the mold sections (109), and an escapement means (135) assures that only one clip (18) is delivered at a time. The actuating mechanism (45) sequentially closes the mold sections (108, 109) to form a cavity (100) therebetween, moves the closed mold sections (108, 109) into engagement with an injection tube (79) which mates with a sprue hole (111). The injection tube (79) also presents a positioning lug (180) accurately to rotate the clip (18) to its desired disposition.
