Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus in which plastic (4) is forced out of an annular nozzle (30) into a neck mould (6) (injection mould) and shaped to form the preform (18) (parison) with the removal of the neck mould (6) and in which a control device (14, 50; 15, 47) for a drive (46) of the neck mould (6) and a control device (15, 51), for a drive (47) for adjusting the outlet gap (3) of the annular nozzle (30) can be actuated. It is desirable if a preform for a bellows can be produced with increased accuracy. This is achieved by providing the two control devices (14, 50;15, 51) with a constantly active computer (21) in order to produce a bellows, by providing the computer (21) with a program (24) for the cross-sectional profile over the entire length of the preform (18) to be produced, which program (24) is constructed dependent on the path of the neck mould (6), which is moving away, in that the neck mould (6) is connected to a continuously operating path measurement device (14) which operates on the computer (21), in that the velocity increase on lifting is controlled, and in that, as the section continues to move away, a gap width controlled so as to increase and decrease in an oscillating manner is superimposed on a continuously controlled velocity characteristic of the neck mould (6). The path of the neck mould is measured continuously in order, by means of the computer, to set the two parameters of nozzle width and take-off rate in dependence on the particular path position. <IMAGE>
