BLOWING MOLD ARRAY

摘要

The invention relates to a blowing mold array (1) for re-molding plastic preforms into plastic containers comprising a blowing mold unit (2) forming a cavity (8), inside of which the plastic preforms can be expanded to plastic containers, wherein the blowing mold unit (2) is at least a two-piece unit, and having a blowing mold retainer (4) for accommodating the blowing mold unit, wherein the blowing mold retainer (4) has at least two mold retainer elements (4a, 4b) for accommodating parts (2a, 2b) of the blowing mold unit (2), and having a locking mechanism (10) in order to arrest at least one part (2a) of the blowing mold unit (2) against at least one mold retainer element (4a), wherein the locking mechanism (10) is provided with an engagement element (12) that can be pivoted and/or shifted relative to a default axis (X), which in an arrested state of the part (2a) of the blowing mold unit (2) opposite a mold retaining element (4a) abuts a segment of the part (2a) of the blowing mold unit (2). According to the invention, the locking mechanism (10) is provided with an actuating element (14) in order to loosen the arrest between the mold retaining element (4a) and the blowing mold unit (2), and an actuation of said actuating element (14) is coupled with the actuation of the engagement element (12).
