A method for forming containers from preforms. The method includes loading successive preforms into successive molds at a mold loading station, each mold having a mold cavity in the shape of the containers to be produced. The containers being formed in a forming station by injecting a gaseous or liquid fluid into the preform in order to expand the preform and acquires the shape of the container defined by the mold cavity. The steps performed at the mold loading station and the forming station are distinct from each other, and a transferring step occurs at a transferring station arranged between the mold loading station and the forming station where successive molds containing the preforms are transferred from the mold loading station to the forming station.

A blow mold unit including: a blow mold including first and second blow cavity split molds and a plurality of raised bottom molds; first and second pressure receiving members; first and second fixing plates to which the first and second blow cavity split molds and the first and second pressure receiving members are respectively fixed; a third fixing plate interposed between the first and second fixing plates and to which the raised bottom molds are fixed at a first surface thereof; a pressure receiving rod extending down from a second surface; and a placement portion fixed to at least one of the first and second fixing plates and placing the third fixing plate thereon when the first and second blow cavity split molds are closed. The pressure receiving rod includes a first engaging portion engageable with a second engaging portion in a vertical direction.

A blow molding apparatus for manufacturing a resin container by blow molding a preform having a bottomed cylindrical shape includes: a pair of mold clamping plates that openably and closably supports a pair of blow split molds accommodating the preform; linear motion mechanisms that drive the pair of mold clamping plates in an opening and closing direction and apply a mold clamping force to the mold clamping plate at a time of mold closing; and a lock member that interferes with a lower end side of the mold clamping plate at a mold closing position of the blow split mold and restricts movement of the mold clamping plate in a mold opening direction.

A device for blow molding containers, provided with a supporting frame for at least one station for blow molding preforms in order to obtain containers, the blow molding station includes two lateral bodies and a bottom which are adapted to provide by blow molding at least one container, at least one of the two lateral bodies being movable on command by virtue of elements for cyclic opening and closing, with respect to the supporting frame, about an articulation axis which is substantially parallel to the axis of the container.

A method and apparatus for operating an apparatus for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers, wherein the apparatus has a movable carrier, on which a plurality of transforming stations are arranged for transforming plastic parisons into plastic containers. The transforming stations each have at least two mould supports on which blow mould parts are arranged, which blow mould parts are components of a blow mould and form a hollow space within which the plastic parisons can be expanded into the plastic containers by application of a flowable medium. The mould supports are pivotable with respect to one another for opening and closing the blow mould and wherein furthermore the transforming stations have a latching mechanism which is configured to latch the two mould supports at least at times to one another such that an opening movement of the blow mould is prevented.
