Claim:
Blow mold ( 1 ) for a stretching blow machine or a glass blowing machine, comprising two mold halves ( 3 , 4 ) which can be pivoted to each other about at least one connection axis ( 2 ) for forming at least one mold cavity ( 5 ) defined by inner walls of the mold halves, a closing device for pivoting the mold halves to each other into a closed position, a closing clamp ( 7 ) having a substantially U-shaped inner surface ( 8 ) adapted to be driven by a pushing device ( 9 , 14 ) for pressing the mold halves against each other without gaps into the closed position, both mold halves ( 3 , 4 ) being directly connected with each other at one side by the connection axis ( 2 ), the closing clamp ( 7 ) being arranged at the side of the mold halves facing the connection axis ( 2 ) and pushable as a closing device directly on outer surfaces of the mold halves ( 3 , 4 ) from the side of the connection axis ( 2 ), the pushed closing clamp ( 7 ) defining in its pushed condition a device for holding the closed mold halves in their closed position.
