Abstract
A mold mechanism for use in a glassware forming machine comprises two mold arms which are mounted on a single transverse rod. The rod is of hardened steel, one of the mold arms is secured to a cast iron sleeve which slides on the rod, the other to a hardened steel sleeve which slides on the cast iron sleeve. A slide member on each mold arm engages a horizontal slideway and is adjustable to determine the position of the mold arms.
