ABSTRACT:
This relates to a blow molding machine of the type for blow molding large articles such as containers of the one gallon to five gallon size from a parison in the form of an extruded plastic material tube. The machine is of the rotary type and has a plurality of stations each carrying a mold unit of which one half is fixed and the other is mounted for radial movement between open and closed positions. The main shaft of the machine is of a large diameter and is tubular so that the necessary manifolding for gas and coolant supplies may be readily incorporated in the main shaft in an entirely different manner from that heretofore utilized. Also, among other features of the machine, is the provision of hollow spokes which serve not only to support outer mold halves for radial movement, but also serve as manifold accumulators for the necssary operating gases. There is also a new cushioning pad arrangement which holds the mold halves together under a light initial pressure facilitating the latching of the molds to a closed position with a minimum of camming force, after which the necessary pressure may be applied against the movable mold half so as to compensate for the opening pressures developed within the mold during the blow molding operation.
