Abstract: The invention concerns a mold-carrier unit for a thermoplastic container blowing machine. The mold-carrier unit is designed to equip a machine for making containers obtained by blow-molding, and optionally by elongation, based on a thermoplastic preform. The unit comprises at least one rotatable mobile panel (3, 5), bearing articulating lugs on a first edge and bearing locking lugs (17, 15) on a second edge, the mobile panel including at least one rib (31, 33, 39; 41, 45, 49) enabling at least one locking lug to be connected with at least one articulating lug such that the rib reinforces the rigidity of the mold-carrier unit.

Abstract: A molding device for blow molding recipients made of a thermoplastic material, including a mold having two mold halves which are movable with respect to each other and provided with a locking device extending along the total height of the mold halves and including two respective hooks, which are oriented toward each other, two respective recesses adjacent to the hooks and a rotatable gib adjacent to the hook and interacting with the other hook in such a way that the two mold-halves are locked in the closed position thereof or are released from each other, the gib being inserted into the recess.

Abstract: The invention provides a cooling system for cooling a rotary mount (2) comprising two rings (4, 7) capable of rotating relative to each other, each ring having a raceway, the mount further comprising a bearing device constituted by rolling bodies interposed between the two raceways, the cooling system being characterized in that it comprises at least one circuit for passing a cooling fluid, which circuit is pressed against one of the two rings (4, 7) of said mount. It also provides a rotary mount including such a system, and a machine, in particular a blow-molding machine, including such a mount.

Abstract: A device for blow molding or blow drawing of containers made of thermoplastic performs. The molding device is movable, mainly rotatable and includes at least one wallet-type mold provided with two mold-halves rotatable with respect to each other around an axis; two links which are connected to each other by one of the extremities thereof with the aid of a first pivot pin and pivotally connected to two mold-halves by the other extremities thereof on both sides of the common pivoting axis thereof; actuation devices which are connected to the first pivot pin and provided with at least one cam follower interacting with at least one respective fixed cam so that the first pivot pin is moved in a direction toward the mold or away therefrom, thereby opening or closing the mold. A compensating device acts so that at least one cam follower permanently contacts the respective cam.
