Abstract
Method and apparatus for pressing a parison. A parison mold is composed of neck tool halves and parison mold halves. A gob of molten glass had first been introduced through an upper loading orifice into a cavity of the parison mold, while a pressing plunger was located in a lower loading position. An assembly consisting of a pressing element, a guide sleeve and a piston-cylinder unit was introduced into the loading orifice. Subsequently the pressing plunger was raised from its loading position into the illustrated upper end operating position until its annular end face had moved into position against a stop surface of the neck tool. Following the preliminary pressing process a neck chamber in the cavity is still free from molten glass. It is only at this point that the pressing element exerts pressure on a base of the parison which is being produced. The molten glass is also pressed into the hitherto still free neck chamber of the cavity. The finish-pressing process of the parison is thus completed and the parison mold can be opened for the purpose of transferring the parison into a finish-forming station.
