A SYSTEM FOR COOLING MOLDS IN A GLASSWARE FORMING MACHINE INCLUDES A PAIR OF MOLD ARMS(12, 14) MOUNTED ON AN HIGE POST (16 OR 104 OR 130) FOR MOVEMENT TOWARD AND AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, AND AT LEAST ONE MOLD PART (18) CARRIER BY EACH ARM ADAPTED TO COOPERATE WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A GLASSWARE BLANK MOLD OR BLOW MOLD. EACH MOLD PART INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE COOLANT PASSAGE HAVING AN INLET AND AN OUTLET DISPOSED AT ONE END OF THE MOLD PART, AND EACH MOLD ARM HAS INLET (44, 52) AND OUTLET (48, 56) COOLANT FLOW PASSAGES OPERATIVELY COUPLED TO THE INLET AND OUTLET OF THE MOLD PART MOUNTED ON THAT ARM. A LIQUID COOLANT SOURCE (72, 76) AND A LIQUID COOLANT RETURN (74, 78) ARE CONNECTED TO THE HINGE POST. A FIRST COOLANT PASSAGE (32, 34, 35) EXTENDS THROUGH THE HINGE POST BETWEEN THE COOLANT SOURCE AND THE INLET FLOW PASSAGES IN THE MOLD ARMS, AND A SECOND COOLANT PASSAGE (36, 38, 39) EXTENDS THROUGH THE HINGE POST BETWEEN THE OUTLET COOLANT FLOW PASSAGES IN THE MOLD ARMS AND THE COOLANT RETURN. THUS, LIQUID COOLANT FLOWS IN A CLOSED PATH FROM THE SOURCE THROUGH THE HINGE POST AND THE MOLD ARMS TO THE MOLD PARTS, AND FROM THE PARTS THE MOLD PARTS BACK THROUGH THE MOLD ARMS AND THE HINGE POST TO THE RETURN.(FIG 2)
