Abstract: An injection molding device has a first mold half, an index plate that in a molding position is at least partly received in the first mold half, and an index plate axle connected with the index plate. The index plate axle is arranged for linear movement along its longitudinal axis relative to the first mold half so that the index plate can be moved between the molding position and a turning position in which the index plate can be rotated with respect to the first mold half. An adaptor plate, connected to the first mold half, has a drive and a first coupling element coupled with the drive. The first coupling element is arranged eccentric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the index plate axle.

Abstract: A molding device is disclosed. The molding device has a conveying tool which can be used for transporting a mold including at least one first and one second mold half into, through and out of the molding device thereby allowing at least one of the mold halves to be manipulated outside and inside of the molding device.
