摘要

In a machine (1) for forming glass items, a mold (4) has two half-molds (6, 7) movable between a closed forming position and an open extraction position by a mold opening/closing group (10), wherein two handling arms (8), each connected to a respective half-mold (6, 7), are rotated about respective fixed hinge axes (9) by a single linear actuator (12), the mobile member (19) of which translates in a direction (18) parallel to the fixed hinge axes (9), and is connected to the handling arms (8) by a mechanical transmission having a respective guide-and-slide assembly (19) for each handling arm (8).
