Abstract
A pinch-off neck assembly for use in a container blow mold system. The assembly includes a base having a parting face and portions defining a recess in the parting face. An insert is received in the recess and the insert includes an insert parting face which is coincident with the base parting face. The insert also includes surfaces that define a neck finish cavity for forming a neck finish on the molded container. An adjustment mechanism axially adjusts the positioning of the insert in the recess relative to the base.
