Abstract
A mold closing apparatus in which two linearly-shiftable mutually juxtaposed yokes carry respective halves of a mold for shaping thermoplastic articles. A linear force generator acts directly on each of the yokes in a line and in line with the direction of shifting movement for selectively drawing the yokes together and displacing them apart. The closing forces are applied symmetrically to both yokes.
