Mold support mechanism for an I.S. machine

摘要

A mold open and close mechanism uses the hook of a blank mold half and the associated ridges of the upper mold support hanger to maintain the blank mold half on the mold but defines a vertical locating structure for placing the bottom surface of the blank mold half on the top horizontal surface of the lower mold support hanger with a vertical space between the hook of the blank mold half and the upper mold support hanger.
