Rapid-assembly base mould with an engageable holding force assist

Abstract

An apparatus for moulding plastic preforms into plastic containers, comprising at least one blow moulding station (1) having a cavity, within which the plastic preforms can be expanded into the plastic containers, wherein the blow moulding station (1) includes a base part (2) that delimits the cavity and wherein the base part (2) is releasably mounted on a carrier (6) by means of a fastening mechanism (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 28). According to the invention, the apparatus includes a force application member (10) to which an engageable force can be applied and which generates in a fixed condition of the base part (2) on the carrier (6) a holding force that keeps the base part (2) and the carrier (6) together.
