Abstract: A driving device for moulds for the production of containers, for example, bottles or the like made of polyethylene, polypropylene or other plastic materials, in which the moulds (2) consist of two half-shells (3) designed to be brought together and pressed against one another along outer profiles (4), has a unit (7) which drives the movement of the half-shells (3), to which an electric main drive and a mechanical auxiliary drive, in particular hydraulic or pneumatic, are connected.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for blow molding and conditioning synthetic resin containers, comprising 2 end walls, to which the permanent molds that jointly constitute one (1) forming mold are locked in a removable fashion, these being movable synchronously between 2 stations, namely an extrusion and a blowing station, powered concurrently in opposite directions by the operating devices with which the apparatus is equipped. Into the forming mold, at the extrusion station, is extruded a tubular element of synthetic resin having notable plastic deformation characteristics which, as a result of compressed air being blown therein, is formed into a corresponding synthetic resin container.
