<p>A blow mold assembly for use with a conventional production blow molding machine (10) is provided with co-operating and separable cap (26) and base blow-mold (22) sub-assemblies, the base blow mold sub-assembly (22) having elongate and pivoted gutter plate segments (90, 92, 94, 96) that together surround the product mold cavity (82) of the assembly, that each may be moved in directions toward and away from the cap blow-mold sub-assembly (26) to control certain wall thickness and configuration characteristics of the blow-molded product formed in the product mold cavity, and that may each be pivoted in a plane at right angles relative to the direction of gutter plate segment movement for wall thickness characteristic control to thereby progressively separate gutter flash from around the blow-molded product while the product is retained in the apparatus product mold cavity.</p> |
