Abstract
The present invention relates to a mold for molding hollow bodies from parisons. It is the object of the invention to provide such a mold having a closing mechanism, which allows the mold to be securely held closed even under high pressure and which is in addition easy to clean. The object is achieved according to the invention by a two-part mold () for molding hollow bodies, in particular containers, from parisons by way of a gaseous or liquid pressure medium introduced under pressure into the parison, in which at least a part of the mold () is supported so it is rotatable about an axis of rotation (), and therefore the two parts are transferable from an open position into a closed position, and wherein each mold part () is connected to one end of a toggle lever () so it is rotatable about an axis () parallel to the axis of rotation (). The two other ends of the two toggle levers are connected to one another and to an actuating mechanism () so they are rotatable about an axis () parallel to the axis of rotation. The mold is characterized according to the invention in that the toggle levers () are located shortly before their dead center in the closed position of the mold and the actuating mechanism () exerts an elastic force on the connecting axis () of the toggle levers () in the direction of their dead center.
