Abstract
An air cooling mechanism for a machine for molding glass objects from molten glass. The mechanism comprises a mold (14) including mold halves each having a plurality of air passages (20). A fixed plenum (22) includes a slot (24) for the passage of air from that plenum into the air passages of that mold half. Pivot means (26) are provided for pivoting the mold halves from a first position where the mold defines an article cavity, to a second position away from the article to be molded. In this second position, one end of the air passages are in registry with the slot to effect the transport of air from the plenum and through the air passages.
