PURPOSE: To make it possible to use a mold storage container for a plurality of molding machines in common, by providing a mold temp. regulating part to the lower part of a mold storing part comprising a plurality of shelves constituted from a freely accessible mold placing stands.
CONSTITUTION: The piston rod 16 of an entrance and exit apparatus 15 is operated and a mold placement stand 12 having a mold placed thereon is drawn out from a container. In the next step, a holder apparatus 6 is directed downwardly to position a holder 7 at the lateral side of a suspension apparatus 10a provided to the top part of a mold 10 in a protruded state and, after a position regulating apparatus 9 is operated to inlay the groove of the holder 7 with a suspension member 10a, the placement stand is withdrawn and the mold 10 is hung down above the stopper 18a in a temp. regulation part B to temporarily fix the mold 10 by a fixing plate 18 and a holding plate 20. Subsequently, a connector 22 for regulating a temp. is raised to connect a temp. regulating pipeline 23 and the temp. regulating medium inlet 10b of the mold 10 and, after a heating medium is sent into the mold 10 to regulate the temp. of the mold 10, said mold 10 is relieved from the temp. regulating apparatus B to be hung up and conveyed toward a molding machine 2.
