Abstract: Method and apparatus for repetitively separating multiple molded parts from their common sprues and accumulating like parts from the same mold cavity in a storing and shipping tube is disclosed wherein a plurality of tubes are disposed parallel to one another and in substantially the same relative position as corresponding parts occupy on a sprue whereby a set of sprue supported parts may be severed from the sprue and forced into their respective tubes. The tubes are sheathlike having a cross section of generally the same configuration as the part they are to contain and have first opposed side wall portions for gripping parts and second opposed side wall portions separated from the parts and deformable toward one another to urge the first side wall portions away from one another thereby releasing the gripped parts.
