Abstract
A base assembly configured to cooperate with an injection blow molding machine for forming a polymeric container from a preform by injection blow molding. The base assembly includes a base insert defining a base mold configured to form a base of the polymeric container during injection blow molding. The base insert is slidably seated within the base assembly. The base insert is slidably movable between a retracted position and an extended position during injection blow molding of the polymeric container.
