<p>The invention aims at enabling inexpensive manufacture of a preform carrying mechanism of a simple construction for a blow molding apparatus for biaxial stretching of hollow moldings such as PET bottles from preforms. The molding apparatus is provided with a linear carrying line for carrying preforms (P), and the carrying line comprises a beam (81), on which a multiplicity of carrying members (82) are supported, a carrying mechanism (83) and a lifting mechanism (84) for the beam. The carrying members (82) on the beam are repeatedly moved back and forth at a constant feed pitch by means of the mechanisms. A preform grasping/releasing mechanism (85) is actuated in synchronism with the movement so that while the respective carrying members (82) are moved backward, preforms are temporarily stopped, and when the respective carrying members (82) are caused to advance from backward positions, the preforms P are delivered to the respective carrying members (82). Since the preforms P can be carried along the carrying line only by moving the beam (81), which supports thereon the multiplicity of carrying members (82), forward and backward at a constant pitch, the carrying mechanism of a simple construction can be inexpensively manufactured. <IMAGE></p> |
