Mold support mechanism for a glass container forming machine

摘要

A mold open and close mechanism uses the hook (30) of a blank mold half (10) and the associated ridges (28) of the upper mold support (24) to positively retain the blank mold half on the mold open and close mechanism, and to define a vertical locating structure for placing the bottom surface (16) of the blank mold half on the top horizontal surface (42) of the lower mold support (46) with a vertical space between the hook (30) of the blank mold half and the upper mold support (24).
