Abstract
The device is used for blow molding containers of a thermoplastic material and has at least one blow station with at least one blow mold. The blow mold is comprised of at least two blow mold segments held by supports. At least one of the blow mold segments is arranged such that it can slide relative to its support. The support is equipped with at least two guide elements for the movable blow mold segment. The guide element has a hard core that is connected to the blow mold segment. In addition, the core is embedded, at least in part, in an elastomer that is carried by the support. A circumferential seal made of an elastomer is provided in order to make available an area of pressure action in order to support pneumatic positioning of the blow mold segment; this seal has a seal lip that makes area contact with the support when pressure is applied.
