Abstract: A mold and neck ring cooling system for a glass molding machine is characterized by a cooling air guide, in which separate and in particular independently switchable air guides for a neck ring cooling section- and a mold cooling section are provided. Here, a cooling piece serving the cooling air feed in the mold is connected to a station box via a cooling channel which is articulated on both sides and slidably connected on one side for length compensation, wherein the height position of the cooling piece is constant relative to the station box. A cooling structure intended for the neck ring cooling section is adjustable in its height in relation to the station box by means of a drive. All valves and bearing points are arranged protected against an environmental influence of a glassworks containing abrasive substances.

Abstract: A closing mechanism for at least two mold halves (4, 5) held by two mold holders (7, 8) includes a drivetrain suspended under the housing section (3) inside of the station housing. The mold holders (4, 5) are mounted on a linear guide and are joined with a threaded spindle, threaded sleeve and gearing with a drive set up on the outlet side for generating a vertically oriented linear movement. A toggle-lever mechanism situated inside of an oil bath accommodated in the station housing (1) is used as the gearing. This arrangement of essential components of the drivetrain opens allows removal of the drivetrain via the upper side of the station housing when necessary or incorporating the drivetrain into the station housing, thereby simplifying repair and maintenance work.
