Abstract
An I.S. machine is disclosed which has a plurality of individual sections arranged in side by side relation. Each section has blank mold and blow mold opening and closing mechanisms and an invert and neck ring holder mechanism for transferring a parison between these mechanisms. Each of the mold opening and closing mechanisms has a pair of opposed mold support mechanisms which are supported for linear displacement. Ways at either end of the section support one end of each pair of mold support mechanisms and the other end is supported on a pair of shafts located between the mechanisms. One of these shafts is supported between the spaced vertical supports of the invert and neck ring holder mechanism and the other shaft has a first part supported between one of the spaced vertical supports and the vertical invert housing and a second part is supported between the other one of the spaced vertical supports and the vertical invert housing.
