  • Side blowing molding apparatus and method
    Patent number: 9469064
    Abstract: A side blow molding apparatus of (100) includes upper guide rails (106) and lower guide rails (108). The apparatus (100) includes a side blow device (110) having a blow pin assembly (112) and an inner support assembly (114). The blow pin assembly (112) includes a blow pin driver (116) formed as a cylinder (118). The blow pin assembly (112) also includes a blow pin (122) connected to a shuttle system (124) which, in turn, is connected to the cylinder (118). The shuttle system (124) operates so as to move the blow pin (122) in a linear manner. The inner support assembly (114) includes an inner support driver (138) connected to an extender (144). The inner support driver (138) extends and retracts the extender (144) for raising and lowering the inner support (142). The blow pin (122) is positioned on the shuttle system (124) so that the pin (122) can be shuttled in and out of a parison during the blow molding process.
